While I have no doubt it does work and is necessary to keep people alive, what does it say about our society that people are pushed to take actual dissociative hallucinogenic drugs to live without fucking ending it all.

Day 22 of December daily poem challenge

By Meggie Royer

Mental Health Update.

Hello, Dearest readers,

I want to apologize for my absence in new chapters, but life honestly sucks.

First, I got extremely sick after Halloween and almost to Thanksgiving. 

Then, my annual depression hit because December 17th was the 14th anniversary of the passing of one of my children.

Then, this year, our family experienced a sudden loss by suicide in the middle of December as well.

So, I have been on watch for the mental health of others levels while dealing with my depression.

Things have gotten better since Friday.

I have been working on edits for American Mate mainly to keep busy and feel productive even if I couldn't add new chapters.

I have completed and posted the edits for Chapters 1 - 11, and the extended scenes for Chapter 5 and Chapter 8 have been posted to Patreon for membership holders.

Again, I don't know if Tumbler notified the readers of the changes, so I am posting this.

Please make sure to either check it out for the first time or go back and re-read these chapters.

The updates, starting with Chapter 1, added over 4,300 words to the story.

I will post another update when another portion of the edits/updates have been made.

In the meantime, please forgive the delay in getting new chapters for my stories.

I hope that you enjoy the updates!

💜💜💜

nobody talks about the fact that you can have all this crazy shit in your head, and want to open up and talk about your feelings but no matter what, you just can't make out the right words and properly put your thoughts and emotions into words

don’t kill yourselves theres too few freaks in the world as it is

[luckyladylily]

So there is a lot of bad stuff going on right now, and I'm sure there are lots of people feeling hopeless and thinking of suicide. Well, I've been suicidal for 21 years and I have a few practical pieces of advice for surviving that I rarely see in other places but I think have done more to keep me off the ledge than almost anything.

1. Don't feel guilty for wanting to kill yourself. Life can be extremely painful, and you are not weak, a coward, or irrational for considering the obvious way to alleviate that pain. Guilt on top of the rest of your pain will not help, and you are not a bad person. You are going to have to tell yourself this a lot.

2. If you think you might do it, find an excuse to live. This is different from a reason to live in that it is short term and shallow. For years my excuse was that I still had enough money to buy a pizza and I'd be damned if I didn't get my last pizza before I died, and if i still wanted to kill myself after the pizza then I had lost nothing. I swear this kept me alive through some of the hardest years of my life.

3. If you have an online friend you can trust, ask if they would be willing to do check in duty occasionally on your worst nights. It's very simple, on bad days where hurting yourself is a real possibility, ask your friend if they can send you a message at regular intervals, say 15 or 20 minutes, confirming that you are safe. It can be as simple as "check?", with you responding "I'm ok". Being immediately held accountable makes not doing it so much easier. I asked a friend to help me like this about two weeks ago to deal with a really bad self harm day and the difference between trying to do it on your own and simple check ins is astounding. It hurts so much less.

4. You die with nothing left on the table. This is for when it's over and you are going to kill yourself. You have a plan, you are ready, and you want to. At this point you are effectively dead. Which means there are no consequences. You can finally do the thing that you were always too scared to do. Maybe it's quitting your job, or confessing to your crush. For me it was coming out as trans. This is your last ditch effort, so if it blows up in your face and ruins everything it is no loss because your plan will still work tomorrow. You were already dead anyway, who cares if you left behind a bit more chaos.

i will never leave this house

[justsomeantifas]

gonna’ be honest. fighting for assisted suicide for mentally ill people before fighting for something like free and widely available dance classes … community centers … free transportation… expanded meals on wheels… etc. is the kind of praxis that accurately shows you just want mentally ill people fucking dead. there’s nothing liberating about it. it’s convincing disabled people that they should act on their illness and simply rid the world of the burden that is themselves instead of doing literally anything else to help them.

And when someone you care about has a mental health crisis, please keep in mind that it's not About You™️. They are not doing it to you, or because of you, or because they don't value your love. And they can't stop it because it's upsetting you or triggering you. Because it's just NOT about you. Don't make it about you

They found her less than 5 miles from her house. Her hair was tangled with weeds and her fingernails were bent back with dirt; she'd been digging.

Digging even long after her body was drained of blood. Digging in frantic, sloppy movements. Digging to reach █████████ █████ ███████?
