This Hour, This Day

The feelings recorded

This hour

[ceciliab12]

This hour

I want your kisses and I want your hugs. You want my lips and you want my body. You can't tell that there's a difference.

[ceciliab12]

This feeling

You are the star that shines through cloudy night sky.

[ceciliab12]

This hour

Trust me

I’m not hiding anything

I’ll lay everything bare

How can you find something that isn’t there?

[ceciliab12]

Dear Future Me,

I'm still fighting Yes, I'm still hurting That's okay My eyes are still open My feet are still moving I'm still loving You too

This day

The slow days The really calm, peaceful days The days where there are no particularly happy or sad moments They're far from special But entirely necessary

Hey, Tumblr. We’re back with another round-up for Mental Health Month. This batch o’ blogs are resources you can turn to and organizations you can rely on. The best part is that they’re so, so easy to access and utilize. Here are just a few of them.

Crisis Text Line (@crisistextline)

Crisis Text Line is free, 24/7 support. If you’re in crisis, please text 741741 from anywhere in the US. The Crisis Text Line will connect you with a trained Crisis Counselor. If you don’t need to use their services, consider signing up to be part of their services. All it takes to become trained in crisis counseling is a desire to listen and help others.

To Write Love on Her Arms (@twloha)

To Write Love on Her Arms started as a Myspace post. Since it took off, they’ve donated more than $1.5 million to treatment and recovery programs, granting funding to 73 different organizations and counseling practices. They have a pretty good repository for finding help, with listings easily found either by location or reason you’re seeking help.

The Trevor Project (@thetrevorproject)

The Trevor Project is one of the leading national organizations providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ+ youth. You can call their trained counselors at 1-866-488-7386, use TrevorText by texting “TREVOR” to 1-202-304-1200, or reach out via TrevorChat.

National Alliance on Mental Illness (@namiorg)

When it comes to making the world a better, more understanding place for mental health, NAMI (nearly) does it all. Across the US they educate to make sure people are getting the help they need, they advocate for public policy, and they listen. You can reach the NAMIHelpLine at 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) or [email protected].

It Gets Better (@itgetsbetterproject)

It Gets Better Project wants to create and inspire change for LGBTQ+ youth. While they do suggest hotlines to call for immediate help (like The Trevor Project), their primary objective is to spread the message that, well, it gets better.

If you don’t live in the US, you may haven noticed most of these are US-based resources. Don’t worry. We have you covered too.

This day

Anger:

Painful

Consuming

Useless

This feeling

This hour

It’s easy to be negative when you’ve been sitting in a cold house; to feel lonely, and to hurt.  Sometimes, all it takes to feel better is a change of scenery, even if it’s just a chair on the front porch.  It’s sunny outside and my toes are already losing their chill.

This hour

Morning cuddles I’m tired So spent But these little arms  Holding Refreshed

[ceciliab12]

This day

Contemplation: loneliness Needing someone to talk to Reaching into an “empty” jar Backtrack- There is one constant But I don’t keep it here It no longer listens
