Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.
We remember those who have gone and we ask you to stay.
988 is a resource, but some might think that it is only for people who intend to act on their feelings. It's not. It is for the depressed, the anxious, those experiencing crisis or trauma, and more. It's available. Please use it.
Additionally, there is this gray area that sometimes isn't addressed. The area where a person doesn't want to die by su***de, but they just don't want to live. That person may never act out, but they don't want to be here anymore. There can be feelings of exhaustion and being tired of a situation in life. We see you and you are not alone.
Su***de prevention can include sharing posts and referring people to 988, but it can also mean being kind to others. Being kind instead of being negative towards people who may be different than ourselves regardless of abilities, age, financial status, gender, orientation or race.
We never know what another person is going through. They could be dealing with financial, family, relational, work, or other stressors. Be the person who is kind and not the person who could potential push someone closer to the edge.
Thus, our motto: "Be kind to your mind. Be kind to others." đź–¤
