We’ll Get Through Together| Suicide Prevention Month

Joana18 Comments

It’s suicide prevention month but every day should always be a day to take care of your mental health.

This month is dedicated to all the people that are struggling to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

I honestly don’t know what to say about this certain topic and that is why I don’t directly talk about this in here. I personally struggle with my own mental health as well, and I know how sensitive this topic is. I also know how everyone of us is dealing with our own demons, and fighting our own battles. That is why we all need to be kind to each other. I don’t want to say any cliché things here, because I know how it feels to hear “just be strong”, “it will be okay”, and all the other pep talks that our friends and family keep on telling us. We appreciate the effort for cheering us up but it’s not that easy and it doesn’t really work that way for us.

I know how everyday is a struggle to keep on going and I’m not going to tell you what to do because I’m no psychiatrist. But we all just really need to find something to keep us alive and make us feel alive. I don’t know what it is for you but for me, I write, I play video games, I watch FRIENDS for the hundredth time, I listen to the same album for months now, and I don’t care what anyone thinks about it because it calms me down, and it makes me feel better. It’s different for everyone but we all have the same goal, and that is to get through the day. I wish I can tell you what you can do but like I said we are all just trying to get through life. We are all trying to figure this out. What I can tell you is that you’re not alone, I know that’s a cliché thing to say but it’s true. There’s broken people everywhere, just reach out and we’ll grab your hand, we’ll get through it together.

It’s nice how there are plenty of open discussions about suicide and mental health nowadays. Lots of people are trying to get help now, we’re talking about it now. But it’s still not enough, there are people who still gets uncomfortable about it but I guess that impression will always be there but at least, we’re finally talking about it. And with social media, we can start spreading information and awareness.

If you’re struggling, don’t hesitate to call for help.

      • Thank you. But, it is so hard I got into a fight with my parents. And I was thinking about doing it more then ever last night. Then I remembered your post and I started throwing rocks at the ground to get my anger out. It helped

      • Hi, Shanessa. I’m sorry that you got into a fight with your parents that led you thinking of taking your life. If you every think about it again, you can reach out and talk to a trusted friend, or you can talk to a stranger with no judgments (me) 😊🤗

      • I wish I can understand I grew up without my parents but I know how parents can be frustrating sometimes. But, most of the times they only want what’s best for their kids right? 😊

      • Yes most of the time. But, my parents want to control me they get scared that they will lose control. They pick and chose what they want to obey from the bible. They act like they never do anything wrong. They keep me from my family for no reason. They even kept me away from my own sister and told us that she didn’t love us anymore! That wasn’t true my sis loves us so much! We are allowed to see her now thankfully! My parents are just a bunch of liars. You wouldn’t believe how much stuff we do in secret. I do understand why they are the way they are. Because they were abused when they were young. But, it still doesn’t give them an excuse!

      • Yeah not gonna happen for a while. They don’t listen they hear what they want to hear and thats it! We have already tried believe me we would if we could. If they caught me and my sis doing what we do they would literally kill us! They have lied about my Family I just don’t trust them anymore.

  6. Such a relevant post.
    This is such a topic of importance and growing awareness. Every single life matters so however best we can help in decreasing the numbers of suicide; to save people’s thoughts from reaching a suicidal point, will be a great deal of kindness. People are suffering and people need to be genuinely available. Thanks for sharing 💚❤
