Today is Suicide Prevention Day
          
          I don’t see death like most people and I have a funny old relationship with suicide but I can tell you right now that nothing will be solved if you do it. Nothing changes, nothing goes away and nothing is fixed. You are not a burden. You are not better off dead. You are not helping or saving anyone the trouble by doing it. You’re not the problem. 
          
          All suicide does is completely fucks the future you could have. It puts an end to any hope of having that happy life. It rips away any chance you have at the life you want, whatever that life may be and whoever it is you want to be is forever lost. Don’t do that to yourself. 
          
          So please hold on for them. Hold on for the you in ten years, hold on for that day when you look back and you’re happy. Hold on for the life you dream of. 
          
          Talk to me, talk to anyone. Come to us because I can tell you we would rather be opening a message from you than getting a call to tell us you’re gone. Reach out and I promise you someone, anyone - professional, stranger, family, friend, someone will reach back and hold on to you. 
          
          You can and will make it through this. 
          
          Instead of being dead 8 years I’ve been with the love of my life 8 years, I’ve built friendships and relationships that I know I will have forever. 
          
          I’m not a broken, suicidal girl anymore. I’m so glad I held on for the women I am now and the life I am so lucky to live. I hope I’m making that girl I was 8 years ago proud as hell with the life I’m living. 
          
          You are loved. You are worthy. You are more than this. Please please please just hold on. Please reach out. Please be as okay as you can and be safe.
