One Step Forward
If you didn’t know, September is #SuicidePreventionMonth
This post has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to put to words. It’s a topic that comes with so many thoughts, feelings, and opinions that I’ve been scared to even broach the topic.
But my therapist and I spent a lot of time discussing the need for people to understand just how many people have had the thought crossed their mind that the world would be better with them not in it.
This is the truest spirit of why I started The Battle You Know Not, to give voice to those who are fighting a battle the world knows nothing about. The first step to fixing any problem is admitting that there is one.
So I’m here to say it to anyone who has pondered or attempted to leave this world, you are not alone.
If it wasn’t for my family and friends, I’m not sure I’d be here to share my story. If I can be that for anyone else, I would happily love to return the favor.
We can no longer afford to put this topic in a box and leave it be.
We can no longer pretend this is going away over time.
Feel free to share this in your circles, friends, various media platforms to help stir up conversation. If you just want to talk, I’m here. If you need to know the available resources, I’m happy to provide those.
Because I promise you, the world is better with you in it.
Much love to you all, and thank you for reading ❤️
