6 Things I Wish Others Understood About Passive Suicidal Thoughts

Sometimes there are people in your life who aren’t quite part of it, but they skirt the periphery enough for their life, or death, to have an impact on yours. This happened to me this morning when I learned someone peripheral to my universe had taken her own life. I am heartbroken for the people [...]

Please Listen to Me Before You Call the Cops About My Suicidal Thoughts

Being alone sucks. Don’t get me wrong, most introverts love to be alone for at least a little while sometimes. But sitting in your living room on a bright sunny day, all alone as you watch groups of people enjoying life together outside of your window is tough. You know you could drag yourself off [...]

What's Up Wednesday

We have had a hard week here. Last night, I asked my daughter to look back on the day and find some moments that made her smile- she was really sad before bed and saying the day had been terrible. After a few moments of naming the few good things she could think of, we were laughing together and went to sleep with smiles on our faces, instead of tears.

Tell us in the comments what sweet moments you find today. 🍬

Tip Tuesday 💡

This is an incredible (although somewhat busy) graphic of what it looks like when we plug ourselves into too many sockets.
What's one way you can "unplug" this week?

Motivation Monday

Sometimes it seems as if we wait until circumstances are perfectly balanced before we start something. In reality it's *always* the perfect time to start! How can you work on believing that this week and what's something you'd like to start this week?

Thankful Thursday!

I'm under the weather, and on hard days it's definitely harder to scrape for gratitude. Can you share even one thing in the comments that you're grateful for today?

Today’s lyrics

If it were any other day
This wouldn't get the best of me
But today I'm not so strong
So, lay me down with a sad song
When it stops, then you know I've been
Gone too long #Grief #Anxiety #Depression #SuicidalThoughts

Depression 1w

I am very confused.. I don’t know I should go to my psychiatrist or not... Though I feel like I really need to.. This is something I realised when I was going through the situation.. It's just very difficult to contract him.. My psychiatrist sometimes feels out of my reach.. That place feels traumatizing for me.. I still got a month of my appointment.. It’s way too long for me as my condition doesn’t seem good to me.. It’s been a week.. I can't sleep properly... My situation starts to get worse at night.. When the clock turns 9, I start to have the bad feelings.. I can't sleep at all even after taking my medications... At midnight, I find my myself crying randomly.. I feel I don’t like anything or what I am doing.. I feel extremely lonely.. I have also faced some sudden suicidal thoughts though it’s not that constant.. The worst part is I am even scared to sleep.. I feel if I sleep,then I won’t wake up.. It’s scary.. Then, I will feel suffocation in my sleep.. It’s horrible.. I am also having nausea.. Nights have been really hard for me.. And, I don’t know.. I feel probably my medications aren’t working.. It’s almost been three months.. First, I thought it's goona be okay.. But,it just keeps getting worse.. #Depression #MentalHealth #Anxiety #CheckInWithMe

Weekend Thoughts 💭

Weekends are the times when many of us attempt to catch up on chores. For me, it's laundry.

How can you "unfold your thoughts" this weekend? Maybe write them down, or say them out loud? It really does help!
