Each of us would say this to you person-to-person if we could.
A few years ago, my uncle took his own life.
Surviving is a special occasion, and every day lived is a day worth celebrating.
June 27th, 2018. It’s another cloudy, yet hot summer’s day in Texas.
I did not want my life to end. I wanted life as I knew it to end.
This is both a plea and a call to action.
What if as a society we replaced all the gut-wrenching and isolating words like stigma and its synonyms with their antonyms?
It took a suicide attempt for me to realize my life was worth living.
You can't save everyone. You may not even save anyone. But you can offer something to someone.
Sometimes, to keep yourself here, you need to figure out ways to change the immediate narrative being voiced in your head.
If suicidality leads to the belief we will not be missed, yet each person who dies by suicide is mourned intensely, then that belief has to be false.
