Suicide Prevention

Well it’s almost the end of September and I have tried to write this a few times.

It’s suicide awareness month and I want to be of service to anyone who is feeling these feelings of having nothing to live for. Please feel free to reach out anytime! It’s a little easier when someone else has been there and can understand the pain. In today’s world I can see how it could pop into our heads.

I have dealt with thoughts of suicide since I was a young girl and used drugs with the intent of hopefully dying in my sleep bc I didn’t have the courage to actually do it myself.

I always held onto to the tiniest piece of hope that one day the pain would end and I would be ok. Somehow I knew I would be where I am today and at peace with all that is.

I am so thankful to be here today. ❤️❤️

With that being said I never thought I would deal with a suicide that was so close to home. When I got the call that my grandpa had passed I thought it was old age then when I was told he did it himself I dropped to my knees. I couldn’t believe it.

The guilt that I felt is unexplainable.

If you have grandparents, parents,friends,

Coworkers, or neighbors who don’t have anyone in their lives or even if they do I encourage you to check on them. A text saying I am thinking about you can do wonders for someone. 🙂

Depression looks different on everyone. Even people who are smiling on a daily basis could be struggling with things you may not know about. I smiled a lot when I was the saddest bc I didn’t want to burden anyone with my pain.

❤️Today no matter who you are and what you do today please know you are loved more than anything in this world and you are not alone. Not even for a second. There is a vast amount of love being given to you at every moment. You just have to believe and open your heart to receive it.

I promise you that type of love is unconditional and it will not harm you.

If there is Anything I can do for you please let me know!

I love you all!
