We at Intuitive Public Media have created an online #SuicidePrevention network that provides support to survivors of severe illness, poverty, and hardship.

Our efforts prevent suicide by connecting individuals in increasingly resilient, sustainable, and collaborative communities.

Because of severe neurological disabilities, we do most of our work and communications through an online app called Telegram, where we have the support of our network disability aid infrastructure.

Please consider visiting us here: t.me/PreventSuicide

You who feel moved to action by opportunities to decrease suffering, isolation, exploitation, and violence in our communities and around the world – we need you.

To contact me and our team directly: t.me/IntuitiveInvisibles + t.me/MegMorris (Max)

.

The Intuitive network we are using now is based on @Telegram Messenger, Telegram Web, & Telegram Desktop applications and is increasingly connected to many other platforms.

Our network is a disability aid for those in extreme situations.

Our community efforts center healing creativity, supporting collaboration, and building individual income streams.

We fund the creation of these income streams (on an emergency basis, currently) for active and community supportive members of our network who are developing helping professions and shared resources.

.

Here are examples of what we are accomplishing every day by raising volunteer awareness and funds:

* * * Sustainable, survivor-controlled income streams that meet more needs ongoing, decrease likelihood of emergencies, and can grow over time as a part of efforts in the community

* * * Repairs to broken phones, computers, and other devices to enable them to stay connected to the network as IPR volunteer transmitters

* * * Emergency eviction assistance where a severely disabled family would otherwise lose their home

* * * Emergency communications assistance, especially in cases of severe neurological injury and with those who are multiply marginalized

* * * Emergency supplies that save individual lives and keep our network running, including food, equipment, and warmth in the winter

.

The members of our network, originally terminally isolated, are now able to go to work together every day by using @Telegram Messenger and other platforms we have connected.

Access to engagement in meaningful work with others is a powerful means to prevent suicide. We experience the effectiveness of this every day.

There are new and powerful ways for trauma survivors to heal and build together in this environment.

We are using technology that is widely available and commonly in use – now put to the purpose of aiding those in severe disability situations.

.

#WhyIDidntReport: I was in need of this network, but it did not exist yet.

#BelieveSurvivors: Now it does. As a result, we are all much safer.

Are you one of our allies?

.

If you are, please reach out to us or to me directly.

Thank you for your courage, and thank you for your time.

Nietzsche believed that you’ve gotta be able to think about suicide before you can move beyond wanting to kill yourself because only once you’ve accepted it as an option can you make the choice not to do it, and the alternative, to deny the urge and ignore it, would inevitably cause you to cave to the unaddressed desire you have for it.

And the dude was right. 

The rogue’s gallery of psych students and junior practitioners on this hellsite have hijacked my post about not being mean to yourself to explain to people how actually what I’m talking about is cognitive-behavioral therapy, and how it involves disciplining yourself to never talk negatively about yourself and how it’s important to check with a therapist that you’re doing it correctly, and like, this is why I don’t trust and can’t stand these people.

Being your own friend is a holistic process, there aren’t exercises you can do or therapy methods you can apply, which is why most people relapse almost immediately after stopping CBT or DBT, because they haven’t actually made any progress in how they look out for themselves, they were merely thrust into a disciplinary regimen where they are taught to engage in habits which their therapist then holds them accountable to, and so, without that therapist, they fall apart again.

Not being mean to yourself doesn’t mean censoring self-deprecating humor, it doesn’t mean snapping a rubber band on your wrist when you have a negative thought, it means taking time to sit down and think about yourself as if you were another person, to really take stock of who you are from as objective a perspective as you can muster, and if you really want to grow, realizing that this person you see can’t grow if the person closest to them, which is you, spends all their time berating them and making them feel like shit.

Being friends with yourself is not a series of therapeutic exercises, it’s challenging yourself to evaluate why you’re a dick to yourself in a way you aren’t to other people, or maybe you are a dick to other people, and maybe you want to be a dick to yourself, which is goofy as fuck, but if you’re still suffering, maybe ask yourself why the fuck you want to be such a dick, the answers may surprise you.

Max (Meg Morris):

I’m sorry to say things are pretty bad here. I wonder if you received the emails I forwarded to you?

a lot of people I am talking to do not realize that we are in immediate danger of them not hearing from me again, and I am trying to signal to people that I need help, but it is not working.

I will definitely die if I do not get an income stream sorted out for emergency survival needs. People are not responding and I think I’m going to die.

I have been saying this too many people but it seems to have desensitized them and I am not able to get needs met that are likely to kill the body imminently.

if I lose my ability to communicate from the physical damage, I will be tortured to death with no ability to affect how people care for me, which is the most terrible of death sentences for someone in my position.

Please respond.

We are *paying* survivors of severe trauma and hardship to build most urgently needed community frameworks by doing work that is creatively self-healing for their present health and conditions.

This, we feel, is the most effective investment of currency: NOT to try to force someone to do work they say they cannot do…

…but to invest in paying them to do the very most effective work that emerges from them as a *natural byproduct* of their *innate healing process.*

All these efforts are produced by survivors of severe environmental illness and injury, amidst great personal danger and adversity.

Your kind words, your care for our lives, and supportive shares with your networks are deeply appreciated.

“The extent of the moral investment in the empirical measure of body size was particularly evident in the fact that many dieters were willing to compromise or sacrifice their health in order to achieve the ultimate sign of health–a thin body. Health was ostensibly the goal of the antiobesity movement and of individual weight-loss efforts, but studies showed that many people would be willing to forfeit health and longevity to attain thinness. One study found that 91 percent of 273 dieters surveyed would not take a pill that would increase their life expectancy if such a pill guaranteed that they would become and remain overweight. A survey of overweight and obese patients conducted in 2004 at Harvard Medical School revealed that 19 percent of overweight and 33 percent of obese people were willing to risk death for even a modest 10 percent weight loss, and many were willing to give up some of the remaining years of their lives if they could live those years weighing only slightly less. These studies may have reflected the fact that dieters were willing to die earlier to lose weight in order to live remaining years in healthier, more able bodies, but studies also showed that people were willing to trade obesity for serious physical impairments. According to one, five year olds would choose to lose an arm rather than become fat. These striking findings show that thinness operated as a sign of physical health and moral fortitude independently of other measures of health, and they suggest exactly how compelling the moral valence of body size was becoming.”

I think these kinds of beliefs also demonstrate how powerful anti-fat oppression can be. I don’t think people’s fear of being fat is just about health. It is also about the (correct) perception that being fat carries the burden of being stigmatized, negatively stereotyped, and discriminated against. And no one wants to live a life subjected to such treatment if they think they can avoid it. Fear of being fat is, in part, a fear of being treated the way fat people are treated. And that is not discussed often enough in the discourse about fat phobia.

“Most people who are in a psychosis or diagnosed with one of the psychotic types of diagnosis, like schizophrenia, they don’t even get therapy, they are immediately started on medications. [..] We miss the story behind what happened to the person and how they go there. They’re told they’re going to be ill the rest of their life. There’s really no science behind that. [..] We’re never against a person wanting to take medication. It’s really more the education and support system that is missing. [..] I think it’s important that people recognize that people with lived experience that have been in the system, that have been on meds, that have been diagnosed are really our experts. If we don’t include them, and build programs with their leadership and their voice at the table, we’re gonna go off in the wrong direction.”
