This showed up on PostSecret today. To the person who sent it, we want to say: Thank You for being so brave as to share these words. Thank You for reminding us how important it is to ask people how they’re doing. More than anything, we want you to know that it’s okay to ask for help. We’ve come to believe that people need other people. You deserve a support system. You deserve friends and love and you deserve whatever help you need. Counseling is often a great place to start, as counselors help people walk through the hardest parts of life. Please know you’re not alone. Please don’t give up. You matter very much.

To the person who is showing bravery and courage unlike I’ve ever witnessed- please know that you are not alone. I know that it feels counterintuitive when I say that, because when we are in the throws of this thinking it feels very lonely. I assure you that you are not, with every fiber of my being I know that you are not alone. Please don’t give up. I may never know or meet you, but I want you to know whatever needs to be worked out, there are people in this world willing to help.
