Need a sign to stay alive? Here it is.
It’s #WorldSuicidePreventionDay!
For the past several years, I have been collecting and putting together links that are good for helping people who are struggling with depression, suicidal ideation/urges, self-harm, anxiety, and more.
As such, I now have a page on my real, actual website dedicated JUST to that cause!
I’ve battled against depression and anxiety for most of my life, and after entering one of the worst depressive episodes I’ve ever had a few years ago, I realized that I wasn’t alone and that there were other people struggling, just like me.
Giant posts with lots of links can be incredibly cumbersome on Tumblr, and it’s not always easy to figure out what links are broken. Also, on Tumblr, if you have “too many” links, they may remove the links in a post. This is obviously not helpful!
I’m planning on updating this with links back to things that I originally unlinked in order to conserve link usage and with links that can replace or supplement links that no longer work.
Anyway, let’s make 2019 another year where we didn’t die. Another year when we fought past every failure, every heartbreak, every setback. Another year for us to take our power back. Another year where self-love triumphs over self-hatred. Another year that we reach out to those who are sinking. Another year where we stuck together, even when it didn’t seem possible.
Cheers, my darlings. This is all for you. I love you more than you will ever know.
