I've never been able to picture my funeral.

Maybe that's a gift? Like, if I never had it, I don't miss it.

But right from the start I think I knew there'd never be one.

Michael Scott Moore wrote about the whole idea of a future having to go away, when he was held hostage by Somali pirates and knew there was at least a 50% chance he wasn't getting out alive. And I've read a lot about the 'foreshortened sense of future' trauma survivors have. bell hooks wrote about a teenage student who told hooks she couldn't imagine, full stop.

I think (pet theory time!) that trauma and survival mode, especially in prolonged periods of institutional captivity (school, abuse, employment, fascism, authoritarian control, institutions, prison, brainprison), either co-opt one's imagination for the purposes of fear and planning what to do about the keenly sensed moods and modes of one's captors, or else deactivate it in order that the brain can concentrate on keeping the whole self alive.

Which is not to say that not being able to imagine the future is not a bad, bad, bad sign.

But it may be a sign that one is in an environment so bad that to even think or talk or speak about it feels so dangerous that one might as well be dancing in a dimension made of a billion razor-sharp edges, and losing focus for even a picosecond could mean being diced to pieces.

Whether that environment is external, internal, or some combination, I don't know.

But as far as barometers for 'how much more support do I need to reach out for?' go, it may be really individualized. Especially if people don't have a support system. Especially if people have a lot to fear based on past experiences of reaching out for support and triggering panicked, controlling, and/or carceral responses from those nearby. Especially if one does not even know what is real or true anymore, because it's critical to play along with the subjective truths of other people in order to stay alive.

Also: you can always elect to go *more* emergency services/carceral/interventionist with your responses to suicidal feelings, but you can't choose to opt out of those processes once you or someone else have initiated them. So here's a list of support resources that won't get you locked in to an irreversible path:

THRIVE non-carceral resource list

And if you're supporting someone who is suicidal, even if that person is you, the zine here may also help:

helping your friends who sometimes wanna die maybe not die by carly @ tinylantern

TL;DR: your experiences may vary. Finding out what your personal signals are that things are getting worse is important, and so is making sure (in better times, if possible) you can trust those around you to support you in the ways you specifically need and want and choose (in advance, if possible) -- and also finding what helps you when you don't have anyone around you that you trust.

A trick a friend taught me for evaluating how serious your suicidal feelings are.

Obvious content warning for suicide.

She told me that when you’re at your most suicidal, you can’t generally imagine very far in the future.

So when we talked about my suicidal thoughts, she would always ask me, “Can you picture the funeral?”

If I couldn’t picture the funeral at all, we knew things were much more serious than usual, and we would plan around that.  Mostly, I had a small group of friends willing to keep me on suicide watch.  I was unable to use the psych system for very good reasons, and I was lucky to have an amazing, if small, support system outside the system.  That support system also helped me come out the other side and not be depressed anymore, which was some of the hardest work I’ve ever done, and was not a bootstraps kind of thing, it more resembled cognitive-behavioral therapy but without a formal system or a therapist.

Anyway, you might want to try this as a rule of thumb when you struggle with suicidal thoughts.  I guess first you’d want to make sure that at your least suicidal, you can at least vaguely picture the funeral.  That way you know that if you can’t, it probably is the suicidal thoughts keeping you from doing so.  Or rather, the time fog that accompanies suicidal thoughts.  Because suicidal thoughts often come with being unable to see the future, unable to see a way out.  And not being able to imagine your own funeral becomes a big warning sign that your suicidal thoughts may be out of hand.

Of course, some people are going to be stuck in that mode for a really long time, so that it’s normal for them not to be able to picture the funeral.  For other people, not being able to picture the funeral will be a temporary state.  Either way, it’s a warning sign.  How you act on that warning is so individual I’m not going to give any advice on how you manage it.  Any advice I give could be dramatically horrible if the wrong person took it.  So all I’m going to say is that the less you can picture the future, the worse things probably are.

The Naked Truth Now Exposed!  

  “YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY PERSON CONCERNED ABOUT THE 5 FAT AND PREGNANT CHILDBIRTH DEFECTS?”

  Quote:

“Prevention of childhood obesity needs to begin before a woman ever gets pregnant.”

Dr. Pamela Salesberry .Ph. D, RN, FAAN

(She is an Associate Dean for Community Outreach and Engagement Professor Interim Director of the Centre for HOPES Center for Health Outcomes, Policy, and Evaluation Studies]

elieve me there is somewhat a clear and present day if you choose to ignore this. Therefore be forewarned that there is one common sense we must dictate to, not only to all wise dieters but to pregnant mothers especially   if you are fearful or ignorant of your maternity health or weight. Similarly, you must fear or not disregard any other basic needs. Flouting your weight and health at the pregnancy stage, whether it’s regarding your daily habits or a medical condition you have, does not make any sense. True? The chances that you will definitely seek help today, tomorrow, or at the maternity ward is great.

Isn’t it logical that when you are hungry you   eat, but before you are hungry you normally plan how to get food? It should be   the same with your health. When you just got pregnant, you will see a doctor, but before you have pregnancy complications when overweight, you should plan on how to be well and strong for yourself.  And also the baby long before the due date. Alright?

BEFORE YOU RUSH INTO THINGS, it is wise to make a pit stop here, to ponder over the words in this paragraph below. Don’t you think so?

  OVERVIEW

With all intent and purpose, I will try and handle the really heavy complicated and complex stuff of weight gain and pregnancy with the following. Agree?

The first and foremost shocking ailment is the danger of the child contracting epilepsy. Believe me another disease is the chance of incurring infant's brain injury. Don’t be shelled shocked it could also perpetuate further obesity in the baby. Surprisingly, there may be a general birth defects suffered by the new born baby. Finally there is high chance of attracting the disease called microsomal. How’s that for starter? Good? Now, let's get to work, starting right from the first disorder! Alright?

1. EPILEPSY

You may have your doubts but I do agree with the truth of Dr Neda's statement. "Just how much a child's risk of epilepsy is linked with how obese the mother was early in her pregnancy,” Plus, it’s confirmed in the findings led by Neda Razaz of the Karolinska Institute. ACTUALLY EPILEPSY IN THE BABY is a brain disorder whose causes remain poorly understood. The survey-based study did not delve into the causes of the apparently higher risk of epilepsy, which may include genetic and environmental factors. Get the picture?

Having said and done, let’s explore further on the next sickness. Shall we?

2. INFANT'S BRAIN INJURY

Don’t be unduly worried when you read this. Alright? Believe me researchers speculated that being overweight or obese during pregnancy could lead to a higher risk of brain injury in infants, or that obesity-induced inflammation could affect neurodevelopment. To say the least.

By the way, do you see where we’re heading so far? I hope you do. Honestly. Let’s dig deeper in!

3. PERPETUATE FURTHER OBESITY IN THE BABY

No matter how you cut and dice the unvarnished truth still remains that the obese mother is bound to eat more which in turn gives more generously nutrients and is transmitted to the foetus. Being used to such constant and abundant feedings this would make the baby be dependent to more and frequent feedings. Yes indeed? You bet!

And here's where it gets even more interesting. Don’t believe? Just read on you must agree with me!

4. BIRTH DEFECTS

Let’s not mince words or attempt to yet the fact remains that babies born to obese women have an increased risk of having birth defects, such as heart defects and neural tube defects. Plus there may be the problems with diagnostic tests—having too much body fat can make it difficult to see certain problems with the baby’s anatomy on an ultrasound exam. Checking the baby’s heart rate during labour also may be more difficult if you are obese.

 Without a shadow of doubt, I would not hold my breath for the next pregnancy problem when overweight. Serious! No jokes!

5. MACROSOMIAL

Let me set the records straight! Without doubt, the obese mother in this pregnancy condition, the baby in the womb is larger than normal. This can increase the risk of the baby being injured during birth. For example, the baby’s shoulder can become stuck during delivery. Microsomal also increases the risk of caesarean delivery. You don’t need to have a Ph. D to grasp this ailment!

 By the way, without sounding like a broken record allow me to summarize the article in a shiny nutshell for you. Yes?

SUMMARY

 So to sum up what I have just said about the critical childbirth complications when you are obese and pregnant, I highly recommend you to read slowly and carefully. Won’t you? If you still remember the ailment is that there is the danger of the child contracting epilepsy or seizure attack syndrome. As said earlier another disease is the chance of incurring baby’s brain damage. Don’t forget it does propagate further obesity in the baby. Be reminded there is this general birth flaws suffered by the new born baby. Lest we forget there is a high chance of getting the disease called microsomal! Easy to understand and commit to memory?

 To complete the full circle of this article, a few comments is in order in this last paragraph. Agree or not?

  CONCLUSION

In many ways, the end of this article is just the beginning; the beginning of a brand new way of living for you and your new born. When you do things differently, giving up those parts of your life that have been self-defeating for those which are self-affirming, your weight, your baby, and your life will change dramatically. You acquire self-discipline and strength. You gain a new perspective. You enjoy the positive results of accepting and liking yourself and your child. And you find new meaning to your life and hope for your future.

May be your have wanted to lose weight for a very long time, and you must admit that never before have you had a better shot at doing it until your pregnancy. I haven't given you a magic diet. I haven't told you that you can get skinny in before, during and after your child birth. In fact I haven't promised you a metabolic miracle. But what I can promise you here and now that if you watch your weight every time, you will be a happier mother with a healthy child. Period!
