Good evening everyone, as we all know the internet can be a amazing tool for you to learn and research more about your mental health conditions. It helps break the barriers individuals face when they are experiencing or helping someone who is struggling with their mental health.
But, it can also carry potential risks by presenting opportunities to access graphic content, details around methods of harm, and content that glorifies or promotes self-harm and suicide. Access to such content can be distressing, triggering and may act to encourage, maintain or exacerbate self-harm and suicidal behaviours.
According to Samaritans.org.uk, they state: there is growing focus and awareness of the potential harm of self-harm and suicide content online, it is important to recognise the benefits that users can experience from online spaces.
Research tells them that helpful content includes:
🗣️ Messages promoting help
🗣️ Stories of hope, support and recovery
🗣️ Tips about self-care and looking after your wellbeing
This is why i’m here,
FACTS not MYTHS and RESPONSIBLE content, if only i had this information many years ago when i lost someone i loved to suicide.
Our lived experiences shape us all 💯🗣️💪✨ #MightyTogether #MentalHealth

I've been wondering lately: what are some things you do or seem to help you prevent your crisis from blowing up? Is there anything you've found helpful, even if just for one time?
I'm really curious to know this, because I've been struggling particularly with this one, lately.
Things that have helped me through the years are retiring and just be by myself for a while, especially if in dark places or in nature; light candles or watch fire; trying to find an alternative way to see the situation; lie in the dark and breathe, eyes closed, pretending to be void; listening to music; singing the music; pet my cats or pet animals in general; smell nice things; dance by myself when I'm alone; change my look just for the moment; also when I'm alone pretending I'm a different person and act accordingly; writing down what I feel; distracting myself; taking pictures; drawing.
This is what comes to mind now, but there may be more ways I'm now forgetting. 😊
(Still I've been a bit of a failure lately, because even if I have ways sometimes the urge is much much more intense and prevales 😞)
Can't wait to read yours!

My close friend’s mom recently committed suicide after a lifelong battle with bipolar. I’m at a loss for words. I want to say I understand the pain she was going through, but at the same time I know everyone’s experience with the disorder is different.
I still don’t know what to say to him to make it better. I know I can’t though, I can’t fix things for him, but I can be a good friend. I know you don’t know any of these people, but please pray for them, guys. It truly is a struggle live with something like this.
