After what happened to Linkin’ Park’s Chester yesterday, I had a conversation with some of my lady friends at the gym about suicide. The common response to this type of death is “Why do people do this? Do they not understand how much hurt they will cause their families and friends? Chester left behind 6 kids! Suicidal people are so selfish!”

The thing is, the person compromising their own life is constantly thinking about others and why they need to always be the one to reach out and ask for help. This causes the feeling of hopelessness and isolation in people. When I had personal dealings with suicide, I felt complete and utter sadness and I did reach out to people. One of the responses I received was, “Oh there’s nothing I can do about that.” It was one of the worst things I ever heard.

The thing is, and this is hard to explain to folks, you have to stop thinking about yourselves when you know one of your friends/family member is feeling suicidal. By telling them “Think about your family/kids/friends/etc,” you are still not helping them! You are basically saying, “Well what about MY feelings?! If you die, I will be hurt! How could you do this to me?!”

No.

What about the person who is pleading for help? What about her/his feelings? Why is she contemplating suicide? Because her feelings obviously did not matter to anyone so they feel the world would be better off without them.

This is why people need validation. This is why when someone is showing signs of suicide, you need to go up and ask them, “Do you want to talk about it? How can I help you get past this? What are your options to resolve the problem or can I help you find an option? I can attend a therapy session with you to get professional help and steer you in a better direction because there is so much more you can do.” Give them a direction and watch them carefully in case they lose track.

My opinion may not be the most popular on this, but it needs to known that people usually say the wrong thing even when they have the best intentions.

This is a good point and I am glad you brought it up!

Another thing that I think doesn’t help people at all is when people tell them “You don’t have anything to feel bad about” or basically invalidating their feelings by saying that “they shouldn’t feel that way”. Nothing is worse than when someone feels a certain way and are reaching out but are told that they just shouldn’t feel this way and not talk about it, and not bring other people down. No matter why they feel it, they do feel it. No matter how illogical it is or unfounded, the feelings are still there and all that person wants is for them to know that their feelings, even if not always positive, are acknowledged.

Today I’m here to talk about something you’re probably not aware of. You’ve probably seen my Reylo drawings , some star wars and TMNT drawings and maybe also some of my cosplay stuff but what you don’t know is that the person behind these drawings is ill. Like really ill.

Indeed I have had health issues since I was a little girl and recently ( like 6 years ago) everything got worse. I got hospitalized multiple times , took a lot a pills and went trought many therapies, and I got a bit better. Then, 8 month ago my life stopped all of a sudden. My body just crumbled down. I’m now stuck at home all day, mostly in bed , I haven’t been able to draw anything for a month now . My body is a prison of pain, fever, fatigue and diziness.

8 month ago I have been diagnosed with Lyme disease stage 3. I cried a lot because I finally know what has been making my life a living hell for so long.

I was so full of life and smiles before. I’m now a zombie. I see life going on outside , and I’m stuck with all these envies in my head, these art projects, costumes, travels…. but my body doesn’t want to obey me and days are all the sames. In my country, in France , Lyme disease stage 3 is not recognized, the disease doesn’t exists they say, so we don’t have official protocol for it. The french care system doesn’t cover any pill, therapy, consultation, that is linked to lyme disease. I have to pay for everything and I can’t even work. I’m not going any better.

To say the truth, it looks like I’m losing the fight. I have yet a hope.

There is a clinic in Germany where they take Lyme people in charge and actually cure them . The problem is that the cost of the stay over there is way beyond my meager possessions. That is why today I come to you to ask for your help A dear friend of mine launched a go fund me action, for me. To give me the chance to go in Germany and maybe, get my life back. If you can’t or don’t want to help me with money, maybe could you share the link ? I would be so grateful you do.

I hope my english was okay enough to be understood. I wish I could be able to draw some more star wars related stuff , I miss sharing things with the communauty but I can’t anymore.

Please , you, who read me, people of Tumblr, you are my only hope.

Thank you so much.

Without payment, I could lose the ONLY transport for my disability, leaving me COMPLETELY stranded with no way to leave my home.

Tonight, the remaining $785 for overdue paramedic bill must be raised by 7pm GMT-5. There are two hrs left.

I’m bedridden 24/7 with serious nerve damage [medical reports] and need to be transferred by paramedics on a spine board or stretcher to leave my home at all, incl. for medical needs. This type of transport is incredibly scarce in my city, with no other suitable service available. Additionally I’ve faced severe physical and psychiatric abuse from the state ambulance service where patients like me are usually referred.

I am utterly dependent on my paramedic company and I desperately need your help to make payment and avoid denial of safe transport. I CANNOT be left COMPLETELY stranded with no way to leave my home.

PLEASE DONATE HERE Donations count needed: $52,332

TEXAS FRIENDS: if this happens to you you need to call two organizations. THE FBI: Tell them that a government official is acting in defiance of the constitution. THE ACLU: They will give you the attorneys and legal backing necessary to get a marriage license. This is entirely unconstitutional and unenforceable. Know your options.

It is a Supreme Court decision that allowed gay and lesbian couples to marry. Any bill that overturns that decision is unconstitutional and illegal. Call the FBI and the ACLU to get this taken care of. They literally can not do this legally.

I know everyone is going through very hard times and I’m so sorry to ask but yesterday right before my shift as i crossed the street to get to work, a white suv ran the red light right in front my work place hitting me on the left side of the hip throwing me about 4 feet away on the pavement. The driver took off and i frankly dont remember much of how I got to the ER. Thankfully things could have gone way worse, i mostly have a contracture by wiplash on the neck, some swalling on the hip and lower back, stiffness and pain while sitting, bruises, scratches and cuts, it could have been so much worse. Unfortunately I won’t be able to work for (hopefully only) a week, but because my shift had not started and the accident was outside the company, in order to be considered a in-transit work accident the whole thing has to be investigated, also the videos from nearby cameras have to be retrieved and all that to also file the report with the police, this will make my next paycheck to take between 15 to 20 extra days. Im my house only support, my mom hasn’t been able to get a job since she got brain surgery due to brain cancer treatment last year. I work over 48 hours weekly and we barely get by, i get paid in pesos about 400 dlls monthly but my rent is 180 dlls and charged in dollars and with the sudden rise on the dollar that amount is way harder to pay… i dont wanna end up homeless again im really really trying my best to get back to work as soon as possible but i have no way to rush all the paperwork for my payment… so any help is greatly appreciated. My paypal is [email protected] and there should b le a donate button on my blog

you can ignore this if you want but please keep any mean spirited to yourselves, I’m in enough distress as it is since because of previous psychiatric diagnosis on my file it took so much to get medical assistance and this has been the hardest day

thank you

Hi everyone! This is an illustrated guide I made as part of my co-admining work at The Middle Eastern Feminist on Facebook! It will be published there shortly. The technique that is displayed here is a genuine one used in psychology - I forgot the name and couldn’t find it again so if you know about it, feel free to tell me! Some could say: “Yes but you can use that technique for instances of harassment other than Islamophobic attacks!”, and my reply is: Sure! Please do so, it also works for other “types” of harassment of a lone person in a public space!! However I’m focusing on protecting Muslims here, as they have been very specific targets lately, and as a French Middle Eastern woman, I wanted to try and do something to raise awareness on how to help when such things happen before our eyes - that way one cannot say they “didn’t know what to do”! I’d like to insist on two things: 1) Do not, in any way, interact with the attacker. You must absolutely ignore them and focus entirely on the person being attacked! 2) Please make sure to always respect the wishes of the person you’re helping: whether they want you to leave quickly afterwards, or not! If you’re in a hurry escort them to a place where someone else can take over - call one of their friends, or one of yours, of if they want to, the police. It all depends on how they feel! For my fellow French-speakers: I will translate it in French and post it on my page as soon as I can :) Please don’t hesitate to share this guide as it could push a lot of people to overcome bystander syndrome!! Lots of love and stay safe!

For everyone planning to kill themselves in the event of a Trump victory:

Don’t.

We need you. The world needs you. We’ve been through this before, in one way or another, and we have prevailed. Who benefits from your death? Only those who want you silenced.

There will be blue skies ahead. There will be triumphs. This is not the end of the world.

Do not go gentle - we are here today because of the stubborn refusal of our predecessors to go away. There are oases even in the darkest of times. You are not alone, and you have not been abandoned. There *will* be blue skies ahead, and you will live to see them.

i’m seeing a lot of people reblogging suicide hotlines and this is just a reminder that this is a suicide help line that works like a text-based instant messenger for people who may need to talk to someone but have trouble/are uncomfortable making phone calls

groovian-whovian

Never don’t reblog this. There are so many people who have such bad anxiety about phone calls. This can save so many lives

redshiftsinger

Also helpful if someone is in a situation they may not feel like talking out loud about their problems is a viable option (for instance if they live with a douchecanoe who would mock them for seeking help)

butterflyinthewell

To any suicidal followers I may have: This is a sign to not kill yourself. You are loved and the world is special because you are in it. Keep holding on.

Reblog this when it’s on your dash. You will save someone’s life.

I’m 21 and bedridden.$911 USD has to be raised within 4 hrs by 3am Oct 21 EST to pay for disability care bills + rent.

Only $61 have been raised today. Without enough funds, I will eventually be forced onto the street.

I’m physically disabled, confined to my bed, extremely weak etc. I’ve had an absolutely horrid year, in that I’ve repeatedly had to deal with being harassed for my disability in terrifying ways by people with institutional power against whom I cannot attempt to bring criminal charges. Right now, I just want some help to maintain hold on my housing and disability care until the government’s support kicks in, hopefully within the month. Because there’s extreme scarcity of accessible shelter, I have to live in an expensive place, for which I was invoiced $1150 yesterday. I also need help with $458 needed for food + disability support workers’ pay. I cannot stress enough that I simply won’t survive without financial help. I’ve had close to no donations for days and I would really appreciate even a dollar or a few cents. Thank you.

UPDATE: There is now also two bills totaling $279 I have to pay within 20 hrs by 3am Oct 21 for home care. Avoiding payment delays will help me to retain highly skilled carers whom I value.

Donations can be made via:

- PayPal.me link - PayPal transfer to [email protected] - gofundme.com/hmnad

Despite getting almost 4,500 notes so far, I’ve been unable to raise enough money for bills had to be paid almost a week ago.

closingtomb

I’m not going to lie, it’s extremely physically and emotionally taxing to run this fundraiser, to basically say the same thing in different ways over and over again every single day without fail, and if I do fail, then I will have no protection against being dragged out onto the street or being denied healthcare. It makes me angry that people see me suffer as someone who is only 21 and becoming weaker while having been stuck in bed for years, without being willing to do anything about it. I’ve raised huge amounts at certain points during this fundraiser through viral posts, but that was only when things became desperate or dangerous for me, and that sort of situation would likely have just never happened if there were adequate and consistent reblogs & donations. I want people to understand that economic deprivation that delays healing to the point of permanent immobilisation is almost the same as deliberately imprisoning someone arbitrarily, and denying me financial support to the point of putting me in danger of economically “justified” violence is being complicit with the violent person. I also don’t think explaining my life in an honest way like this makes me “manipulative”, which suggests that people think horrible situations only exist when people make them up. I understand that not everyone can donate, and not many other people are in great financial situations either, but I am just asking for a reblog, which could really help change my situation. I’ve been getting next to no donations, and am a week behind on bills that my life is dependent on.

Hello! We are the Fords are we are a Coast Guard family living in Grand Haven Michigan. Copper is the newest addition to our tiny family. He is a Red bone coonhound and we got him last Wednesday in Ionia Michigan. We knew that one day our first puppy, Sundae the Aussie, would need a brother or si...

Copper needs your help!! He is one of my very best friend’s sister’s puppy and he is very very sick. Without medical care and treatment it is likely he won’t survive. Please consider donating/sharing if you can. <3

I have a progressive neurological condition that could literally asphyxiate me at the age of 21 and there has been no effective medical treatment for my condition so far.

Asphyxiation will make me subject to policies/laws that allow paramedics to force me into an emergency department against my will. Emergency departments will attempt to “mobilise” me without my consent, which could be life-threatening with my current condition.

Funds have to be saved up for any potentially effective treatment in a non-acute setting, but it’s been IMPOSSIBLE to raise enough money for the past few days.

I’m also falling behind fundraising for an accident compensation case that could be the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity out of degrading poverty from living with a prolonged and incurable condition.

$3,237 are needed for those legal fees + medical bills + disability expenses by 10am 29th Aug EST

Specifically this includes

$1,002 for legal costs and medical fees, which could not be raised earlier this week, despite consistent posts about this.

$2,235 for general expenses incl. rent + home care, and saving up medical + legal fees. You can view the full list of expenses here

Medical reports have been uploaded to http://fundraiser-evidence.tumblr.com/

Please consider donating something if you can. Thank you.

- PayPal.me page (PayPal account required; no transactions fees for PayPal balance transfers) - PayPal page (no PayPal account required) - PayPal transfer to [email protected]

- If PayPal doesn’t work, please try my old gofundme page which uses Stripe. Note: the info there is 20 months old, please just use the page as an alternative means of donation. https://www.gofundme.com/hmnad

ETA 9PM 29/8 EST: Only $234 out of the $3,237 needed have been raised so far.

I haven’t been able to raise very much at all. I know this is because I don’t have the physical energy to adequately explain the seriousness of the situation, but I hope everyone will understand what it’s like - I mean, I have been talking about this current situation for weeks, and I’ve been fundraising for more than a year.

My condition will get much worse if I continue spending hours on the fundraiser and I am compelled to do so when there is a lack of donations. I absolutely need good medical are + guarantee of disability support so that I can start getting better, or at least stop deteriorating so quickly.

@beyoncepatronus: “i’ve been trying not to guilt trip but can you all just please look through angie @ocm65‘s blog and their medical evidence blog @fundraiser-evidence and reblog their fundraiser posts and just send them a few dollars if you can. they’re dying, guys. a heap of consistent tiny donations would make a huge difference.” http://beyoncepatronus.tumblr.com/post/149697807517/ive-been-trying-not-to-guilt-trip-but-can-you-all

I’m 21. I have rapidly tearing nerves causing respiratory problems that could eventually KILL ME. With no guarantee of effective treatment and continual deterioration, I’m at increasing risk of deadly mistreatment by psychiatry or in emergency departments, due to being bedbound, cognitively impaired and potentially subject to laws that allow paramedics to force me into hospital against my will if/when I do asphyxiate. I ABSOLUTELY need all the resources I can get to find effective treatment.

Please ignore the no. of notes on this as I pasted over the original post completely. i have a neurological condition featuring torn nerves that developed after an accident in late 2012. This recent post explains the recent alarming decline in my condition, past mistreatment by psychiatrists + assault by patient transport officers + indifference from police.

i really would like people to try to understand where I am at - having no access to effective treatment nor any guarantee that it can be found, and continual rapid decline re my physical, respiratory and cognitive issues. i am only 21, so continued decline will either result in an untimely death or unthinkably severe disabilities for the rest of my life. all of this is compounded by having limited resources and no government services in place apart from a $336/week payment.

any additional support that can be provided will help me greatly. I have to save up for medical care + need to pay up to about $1457 USD/week for home care, transport and accommodation bills; as explained previously I’m trying to increase the hours of home care i access to limit deterioration. I am also trying to save at least about 800 USD per day from now for the accident compensation case that could potentially result in adequate funding for disability & medical care for the rest of my life. (the exceptionally high cost is explained HERE). I have to raise the legal fees quickly, or delays could jeopardise the case

You can view my medical reports on fundraiser-evidence.tumblr.com

The short term goal is to raise $2,625 by 10am 21st Aug ET (i.e. end of the day in Sydney) for medical treatment savings, disability care payments + legal fees. ETA: with the additional $1185 to be raised on Sunday for similar payments, there are still another $1,917 needed by the end of today. I’ve exhausted my means of promoting this post completely, so I really DESPERATELY need people to reblog this post and/or donate. My life is dependent on these donations, my condition is severe beyond what I can describe and beyond what people are willing to even comprehend, and a lack of financial resources can seriously limit my treatment and disability care options. I’ve managed to raise less than half of the funds I actually need and this is a nerve wracking situation to be in.

Payment purposes are detailed here

These are the donations options: - PayPal.me page (PayPal account required; no transactions fees for PayPal balance transfers) - PayPal page (no PayPal account required) - PayPal transfer to [email protected]
