This Suicide Prevention App Might Actually Be Able To Save Lives

Scientists are raising money for clinical trials to show that it can.

Consider helping bring MindMe to everyone. Even a penny/repost helps!

We’re trending on Buzzfeed!!!

This campaign is deeply personal for many of the MindMe team members, I’d like to take a minute to add names of those we have lost to suicide and encourage anyone else reposting to do the same:

Your feelings are valid. You have every right to feel whatever emotion you want. You aren’t being dramatic. You aren’t over exaggerating. You’re feeling. And that’s okay.

Yes. It is true.

Living with an anxiety disorder is like experiencing that moment of panic when you miss a step walking down the stairs. Continuously. Every day.

To be yourself, with no walls up, no guards, no barriers. Just you. Does this mean you are weak? Of course not. This takes courage. This takes strength. You are putting yourself out there. You are freeing yourself. You are finally freeing yourself. Never let the fear of what others may think of you, put you back in your own personal prison. Show your emotions fearlessly. Be yourself unabashedly. Be vulnerable. Be open. Be free.

Wise words from our friend Tonya Ingram: 

“It is quite common to experience depression during the holidays. to spend several days without ever leaving your room. to think of those who are no longer with us. to remind ourselves of the things we do not have. the gifts we cannot afford. i am currently thinking of the loss of my stepfather. of the five days i spent in my bedroom. of how i once celebrated christmas in a hospital gown. my depression is loud. it is boastful in its preaching. often minimizing my worth. often erasing my accomplishments. the loudest of the untruth convinces me that i am alone. the loudest lie will always make you aware of your loneliness. friends, i tell you now, how false the dance of fear is. friends, i call the fight in you forth. you are not alone. as i type this, i am fighting. sometimes the fight is leaving your bed. sometimes the fight is telling yourself how extraordinary you are. sometimes the fight is telling someone how you are feeling. if that means hot chocolate dates or missy elliot on repeat or ‘i got you’ pouring into your inbox. know that it is available. for every season.”
