#suicide prevention

LIVE

Friendly (and sexy) reminder to take your meds today. Mental and physical health is important.

Also, please talk to someone if you’re feeling suicidal. You’re not alone.

This is not the sort of thing that I usually post but it is important enough to break from my usual

This is not the sort of thing that I usually post but it is important enough to break from my usual theme. Please use this if you need it, and share it with the people in your life who might need it themselves.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled porn.

#WorldSuicidePreventionDay

…should be, and is every day. If you’re feeling unworthy, unwanted, unworthy, and afraid, know that it’ll be okay. Take a breath. The words you are currently reading are coming from someone who has been in that darkness. Trust me. There is light.

Friends, family members— if you’re worried about someone, reach out to them. If you love them, tell them. You never know what someone is going through in their mind. & if you do, there are many ways to help them. 

Sometimes he or she just wants someone to listen. 

I just had a sad realization about the MHA universe and I think it’s so very sad.

TW: Mentions of suicide


I was watching a TikTok about which anime world you’d want to live in and I said “Fairy Tail” because you can actually pick witch magic you study and your life won’t be flashing before your eyes every two seconds.

I also thought about My Hero Academia universe and how I wasn’t going to risk be part of the 20% of the quirkless population. I actually said aloud “I’d rather die than be in a world were people can fly and breathe fire when I’m quirkless”. It hit me that a lot of people (especially kids) have actually committed suicide because of that reason. We all want to be accepted by society so they probably felt hopeless. And remember when Bakugo told Deku to jump off the roof? In that scene I think he actually contemplated doing it.

I just really think it’s sad that some people will off themselves because they don’t feel like they belong anywhere. I know we are all quirkless in this world, but a lot of people feel like they don’t fit in. I want you to know that you don’t have to be special for your life to have worth. I want you alive and I love you. Even if I don’t know you, I want you to keep living. If not for me, then do it for your future. ❤️❤️❤️

As someone who has been living with severe suicidal ideation my entire life I wanna tell you all something, you don’t have to stay alive for yourself. People will say it’s a bad idea to live for external things because they’re temporary, and it’s true living for yourself is ideal but if you’re not to that point yet that’s ok too. 

I’ve lived for my dog for the past 4 years, before that I lived for my snakes, before that I lived for my cat. You can live for whatever needs you and whatever matters to you. Live for your best friend, live for your plants, live for your pets, live for your animal crossing town. Live for whatever keeps you alive and the day will come when you can live for yourself.

This is something everyone should see. Thank you for sharing this.

Transformers kept me alive. When the 2007 movie was announced I was going through an incredibly hard time emotionally. I saw the preview and every time I thought about killing myself I thought, “but then I won’t get to see this thing I’ve always wanted to see, good or not.” And it got me through.

I’m in a place where I live for myself now, but don’t toss away a life preserver just because other people think you should be able to swim on your own.

US SUICIDE PREVENTION HOTLINE IS CHANGING ITS NUMBER

Taking effect July 2022, the US Suicide Prevention Hotline will change from 800-273-8255 to the three digit code of 988. Especially with families and communities reeling from back to back tragedies, it is super important to share this information!

Repeat: Starting July 2022, the US Suicide Prevention Hotline will be 988

Hey guys I posted on my Instagram a mutual aid fund that I created to help people with severe mental health issues pay for things like medications and virtual talk therapy it would mean a lot to me if you guys could either re-blog or contribute in someway shape or form and if you need funds please feel free to apply love you

Hello lovely followers, 

IMalive.org is the place to go if you are in a crisis situation or considering suicide. It is a live chat service allowing you to connect to someone who is trained in crisis intervention and there to do anything in their power to help and support you through your darkest times - it is especially useful for people who are too scared to call actual helplines, or people who just live in a part of the world where there are no local helplines to call. 

If you are not in a crisis situation and would just like support from someone who listens and cares, 7 Cups of Tea is made up of a community of trained active listeners who will connect with you and support you through any problems you are experiencing. If you need to vent your frustrations, talk about something that is bothering you, or even if you just want someone to chat to when you are feeling alone. 

I highly recommend both of these websites - they have both helped me in my times of need, and I think they are worth sharing for anyone else who is in need of support. 

All my love, 

Robyn xx

I recommend IMalive. I’ve used it in the past. The volunteers are trained well!

Repeat: Starting July 2022, the US Suicide Prevention Hotline will be 988

Important add-ons, though, as someone who’s done policy work on this: 

  • It’sJuly 16, not just the start of July.
  • 988 can not only be used as the suicide hotline, but for anysort of mental health or substance use crisis situation. As opposed to 911, the goal of 988 is that when dispatch is necessary, you’ll be met with a trained crisis response team rather than the police. The police will only be involved if there is an immediate threat to safety, which has almost never occurred in pilot programs - in one of the most well-known, Denver STAR, (which a lot of y’all seem to be familiar with) the police has actually neverbeen called for backup. We’re hoping that this is going to get more individuals directed towards help rather than a prison cell. 

Uhm yeah I’ll add more stuff if I can think of anything.

Thank you for the added information. Reblog this version as well, folkz.

Boys don’t cry (and look at where that got us)

So this year I’ll be taking part in the Distinguished Gentleman’s ride* for prostate cancer and men’s mental health.

1 in 4 men die from suicide. 510,000 men die every year. Most of us know somebody who is already a victim, and if you don’t? Then you’re very lucky for the time being.

I may seem blunt on this post, but this is a blunt problem. Unfortunately men, from the cot to the coffin, have…

Just quickly googled it and the website (suicidepreventionlifeline.org) says that the old phone number is not being discontinued. But still good to know!

“Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children”

-Eric Draven (The Crow)

___

I am not a mother myself and I don’t wish to become one, but I am a daughter and a sister, a child of a broken home, as many others, I’m someone who witnessed and endured several common mistakes our parents made with my younger sister and I, but also, someone who knows with complete certainty those mistakes weren’t conscious.

So, once again I’m trying to convey what I’ve learned through what this brave woman shared with the world, with the main goal to help others and prevent them from going through what she and some other mothers, fathers, siblings and families have suffered unnecessarily.

I firmly believe Sue isn’t guilty or responsible for the crime her younger son perpetrated 20 years ago, tho, I know she committed some serious mistakes, out of ignorance, about the struggles that young man was enduring right before his suicide.

That’s why I pictured here what she tried to be for him as for his older brother: just the best mom she could, maybe not a perfect one and not even the one her son needed at that time, but the absolute best she could and that’s something no one, not even him and what he did, can take away from her.
