“One of my best friends tried to commit suicide when she was younger. I would never have known had she never told me. And that's the thing, there are no "signals" at least not in the way media would have us believe (negative emotions, cries for help).” — @dlabeach with @twloha

“It's scary to think that people can be suffering in silence. It's one of the reasons I intentionally ask people "How are you, really?" The world makes it easy to exist on the surface without making room for anything deeper where we might be able to be there for one another and identify when getting help is necessary.” 

“It's healthy to lean into your emotions when you're feeling down, rather than denying yourself of that vulnerability. Healing doesn't begin until you can accept your reality,” --- Amber Elise Jones with @twloha​

Today is suicide prevention awareness day. One of the many things I’ve learned in my recovery journey is that there are so many things #worthlivingfor. Even if all you’re holding onto is something tiny that wouldn’t really matter to anyone else, that is a good enough reason to stay around. Stay around for new music, new movies, pet cuddles, and soft blankets. Dumbledore taught us that “happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light”. Find your why, your light, even if it is very dim and flickering. #twloha #wspd2020 #iamlivingfor https://www.instagram.com/p/CE-tt_1Jv4L/?igshid=1y0g4e5wg7uo4

We need to talk about suicidal ideation. We need to destigmatize the conversation, especially in #lgbtq circles. I, and many of my queer friends wrestled with our suicidality for decades, and the shame around the conversation only compounds it. I was told my attempts were cowardly, weak, selfish, and insane, so I felt like there was something wrong with me. But when you look at all those high stats it becomes painfully clear how common suicidal ideation is. Coming to terms with our mortality also means coming to terms with our agency. I believe suicide spikes when we internalize all the hatred and despair and it affects our imagination. Seriously. Suicidality is just a routed imagination. I’m a very creative person and even when I was down I prided myself on the morbidity of my imagination, but let’s get real here. I felt so depressed, so trapped that I only had one persisting solution to my problems. Every time I tried to visualize a better life, all I could picture was more pain. This made suicide sound reasonable, even liberating, even self empowering, like my ace in the hole. But it wasn’t. I’ve had three suicide attempts in my life and I’m not ashamed to talk about them anymore cause I can’t be. Shame is how it thrived in the first place. I expanded my imagination, my sense of self, and my community. I loved, and let myself be loved. And it made all the difference. #suicideprevention #wspd #wspd2020 #suicideawarness #lgbtsuicideprevention #lgbtq🌈 #lgbtqmentalhealth #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #therapistsofinstagram #nonbinary #translivesmatter #inspirationalquotes https://www.instagram.com/p/CE9pXnMljB_/?igshid=1va5j3dgqpfjz
