cw: suicide //

September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day. It always makes me think of these pictures that were taken about five years ago. Even though they’re pictures of me, and it’s an experience I literally lived through, it’s still always so jarring to me.

These are from the day I was hospitalized on a 5150, taken just about 6 hours apart. It was a Friday. Before I was hospitalized, I went to all my classes, went to work (where they took the picture on the left), walked through campus and my college town to get dinner, and tried to talk myself into sleeping instead of asking for help or support.

Nobody knew what was going on. This was the third day of secretly crying whenever people weren't looking. I cried walking between classes, in class, during breaks at work, and at home in my room. The only people who knew were the ones directly involved in getting me to the hospital that day. And, if I'm being honest, even I didn't know how bad it was. Reflecting back on this experience as a therapist myself, I know I would've made the same call as everyone else in my life that day (that I needed more help than they could give). But the only reason I agreed to go to the hospital that day is because I was 100% certain they were going to look at me and say "what are you doing here? Go home. There's no reason for you to be here." Because nothing was wrong (I was just inconsolable and completely incapable of regulating my emotions).

We say it all the time, that you can't tell what someone is going through just by looking at them. We all know that. But somehow, this still shocks me. The photo on the left is me helping a kiddo at work. It's such a normal photo of me; I have my usual makeup on, I'm in the classroom, I'm focused on the kiddos in my class. The one on the right is me without makeup, not because I hadn't put on makeup that day or because I washed it off, but because I had literally cried it all off at that point.

I know that I am not the first and will certainly not be the last to experience something like this, and nothing I've said is particularly profound or insightful. But I share this anyway, a potential reminder for anyone who needs it:

People can struggle without anyone knowing. Your hurt is valid even if nobody can identify it. It doesn't mean you're faking it.

Every tired, irritating cliché is true: things can get better, but you have to still be here to see it.

"Better" doesn't always look the way you think it does. "Better" might just mean that, more days than not, you want to be alive. Or maybe even that more days than not, you don't want to be dead.

Feelings are not reliable or factual narrators. They are valuable and valid, but not always accurate.

Mostly, I share this because I want anyone who needs it to know that they know someone who has experienced this. You can ask me questions or ask for help or just say hi; I truly don't mind. And because everything I do involves playlists, here is an updated version of a playlist I made a few years ago when I first spoke about this experience.

TW: World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD)

The September the 10th is WSPD. Therefore we would like to share a meme that also gives attention to famous Asians that are no more. Because: do we know what depression looks like?

A reminder of the importance of checking in with our fellow Asians, especially in places or countries where Asians are a vulnerable minority.

Can you all recognize these people? Please post in the comments! 🙏🏼

You are disappointed,

you are sad,

you are angry,

you are tired,

you are listless,

you feel exhausted,

you have no more strength,

you see only darkness,

you feel abandoned by the whole world,

you feel alone.

No. Stop.

You are not alone.

No matter what the reason for your condition is, no matter where you are,

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LISTEN TO YOU, WHO WANT TO HELP YOU!

Even if they are perhaps not the ones you would have wished for, but these people are there for you, day and night.

There is no body without blemishes, no soul without wounds, no heart without scars, but YOU ARE PERFECT AS YOU ARE. NEVER FORGET THAT AND KEEP ON FIGHTING.

After darkness follows light, after sorrow follows joy, after crying follows laughter, after rain follows sun, after winter follows spring...

Whoever reads this now, please do not give up! I will light this candle so that you know that you can find light with me!

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Du bist enttäuscht,

du bist traurig,

du bist wütend,

du bist müde,

du bist lustlos,

du fühlst dich wie ausgelaugt,

du hast keine Kraft mehr,

du siehst nur noch Dunkelheit,

du fühlst dich von aller Welt verlassen,

du fühlst dich allein.

Nein. Stop.

Du bist nicht allein.

Egal was der Grund für dein Befinden ist, egal wo du dich befindest,

ES GIBT MENSCHEN, DIE DIR ZUHÖREN, DIE DIR HELFEN MÖCHTEN!

Auch wenn es vielleicht nicht die sind, von denen du es dir gewünscht hättest, aber diese Menschen sind für dich da, Tag und Nacht.

Es gibt keinen Körper ohne Makel, keine Seele ohne Wunden, kein Herz ohne Narben, aber DU BIST PERFEKT SO WIE DU BIST. VERGISS DAS NIE UND KÄMPFE WEITER.

Nach Dunkelheit folgt Licht, nach Trauer folgt Freude, nach weinen folgt lachen, nach Regen folgt Sonne, nach dem Winter folgt der Frühling...

Wer auch immer das jetzt liest, bitte gib nicht auf! Ich werde diese Kerze anzünden, so dass du weißt, bei mir kannst du Licht finden!

This is one of my favorite movies. Wish I could see the play. It's so realistic and heart-wrenching, about how we are twisted by those who raise us and who we grow up with. The paradox of how much relationships with others can contribute to a desire to permanently leave while at the same time how they have no influence or power over a decision to die. So beautiful and well-done. The end is a triumph and a tragedy.

If you're feeling like Jessie and want to step off the bus, know that you're not alone even if it doesn't feel that way right now. Or, if you know someone like her then reach out and check in with them—a simple "Are you ok?" could go a long way.

haven’t seen people talking about Yerkoy Shuler, so I’m going to make a post about him.

On June 13, in Winston-Salem NC, a young Black man named Yerkoy Shuler was murdered by WSPD during a traffic stop. The pigs pulled him over and said his behavior was “erratic” and then claimed he reached into his vehicle (something that would’ve literally been required for him to do to get any documents they would’ve asked for??????). It was revealed that after just a short 60 seconds of being detained in the pig’s car, he passed out due to a so-called “medical episode”, and later he died.

Yerkoy was a loving and bright person who deserved the chance to keep going home to his beautiful daughter every night. he deserved to live a full life of memories and joy, and that was taken from him by pigs from the WSPD. Tell me, how does one just mysteriously suffer a vague “medical episode” at the same time as being detained by cops during a traffic stop? how does one just happen to pass out and die after 60 seconds in a cop car, yet somehow there is mysteriously no information on this so-called “medical episode”?

below is a photo of Yerkoy with his daughter. Yet another beautiful child whose parent has been stolen by racist police violence. Please keep Yerkoy and his family in your thoughts. There haven’t been many updates on the murder yet, but his family highly suspects that his death is the result of a hate crime at the hand of cops.

[Image ID: A warm-toned photo of Yerkoy Shuler with his daughter. Yerkoy is a thin Black man who’s wearing a black t-shirt, a baseball cap, and a long chain necklace. His daughter, a young girl wearing a white shirt with a large white bow in her hair, is sitting on his lap. They are both smiling. End ID.]

Also, please keep Tamir Rice and his family in your thoughts as today, he would’ve turned 22.

Rest in power Yerkoy and Tamir.
