This week a friend of mine told me he is suicidal. I've never experienced a more helpless feeling, especially because he's in another country. All I could do was sit there and try to show him what I see in him and all of the ways that he's enriched my life and what it would mean to lose him. He's a recovering alcoholic and is now in therapy for his depression instead of just drinking it away.
If you are having thoughts of suicide, please reach out to someone. Don't ever think of yourself as pestering the people in your life when you need to talk about dealing with some heavy shit. And even if you don't want to talk to someone you know, there are hotlines to call as well. Just don't think that you won't be missed, because you will. And don't think that everyone would be better off without you, because we wouldn't be. Love yourselves darlings♥️
