Suicide. #EveryoneFallsQuiet.
Suicide. The word itself shuts people down. It's a complex issue, tangled up with everything from social media to how much money you have in the bank. And the weirdest thing? Nobody wants to talk about it. That silence? It only makes things worse.
The whole "coward's way out" thing? Not helpful. Not true. People thinking about ending it all? They're stuck in a dark place, and they can't see a way out. It can hit you after a loss, like the rug got yanked right out from under you. Or maybe the future looks like a brick wall, and you're all out of bricks. Maybe life just threw you a curveball you weren't expecting.
I've known people who've been there. It's a tough topic, because you never want to downplay how awful things can feel. It takes real courage to speak up when you are struggling with it, or when you worry someone else is.
Listen up: things can change. No matter how dark it seems, there's almost always light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes, all you need is someone in your corner. Someone who just shows up, no questions asked. That kind of support, it can make all the difference. It takes time, sure, but most people eventually find a way to let go of those thoughts.
Look, feeling that low? That takes guts. To anyone who's been there, I see you. You're tougher than you think.
I can't take away the pain, but I can offer some encouragement. The world can be a pretty harsh place, but there are people out there who want to listen, without judgment. People who want to understand.
You are not alone. There are people who genuinely care and want to remind you that your life matters. Your future is worth fighting for.
If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please reach out for help.
