!! A REMINDER TO ALWAYS CHECK ON YOUR LOVED ONES, AND EVEN STRANGERS !!
the joyous ones, the depressed ones, the ones that seem to have everything going for them, the ones that always seem to have something going wrong, the ones who ask for help, the ones who dont ask for help, the ones that answer texts and calls in an instant, the ones that take hours to answer, the ones who sleep or stay home all day, the ones who are always busy out and about, the ones with good grades, the ones with worse grades, the ones in therapy, the ones that arent in therapy, the ones that go to school every day, the ones that miss so many days the truancy officers call.
check on EVERYONE, no matter how okay they seem, because i can assure you that if something were to happen to them, youd feel as though its your fault for seemingly never being there for them, even when that isnt the case.
a simple, "are you okay?" or, "do you have anything you want to talk about?" can SAVE A LIFE.
a person taking their own life is devastating, no matter the type of personality they may have had in life. even if they were a terrible person when they were alive, there were still people who loved and cared for them who now have to live without them, grieving. NEVER say youre glad somebody took their life, because there will ALWAYS be people affected by it.
!! SUICIDE IS NOT THE ANSWER. IT IS OKAY TO ASK FOR HELP !!
if you experience passive or active suicidal ideation, reach out to someone. anyone. passive is just as dangerous as active.
your pain is valid. your trauma is valid. you are valid. you do not need ptsd (post-traumatic stress disorder), mdd (major depressive disorder), schizophrenia, or any other disorder to be suicidal or hurting. your pain is your pain, and sometimes there isnt even a reason for it, but that doesnt make it any less exhausting or real.
!! YOU ARE LOVED. THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO LOVES YOU. DONT LET THE BLINDSPOT OF YOUR MIND CONVINCE YOU OTHERWISE !!
