Please don’t hesitate to come to me for ANYTHING. My ask box is ALWAYS open, anon or not, I will ALWAYS listen. I will stay up all night with you if you need me to. PLEASE.
TALK TO SOMEBODY. PICK UP A PHONE: CALL A FRIEND, TEACHER, COUNSELLOR, FAMILY MEMBER, TRUSTED ADULT… CALL A HELPLINE - PLEASE DON’T DO THIS ALONE.
In the meantime, here are some things that have saved my life:
Darren Criss performs “Not Alone” at Trevor Live.
Reminders in my HOPE tag (TRIGGER WARNING, but it is a collection of things that give me hope)
“We’re trying to fight for people with kindness, with words that move, with honesty and creativity. We’re trying to push back at suicide with compassion, with hope. We’re pointing to wisdom, pointing to medicine, saying that hope is real, help is real. … “
“We’ll only ever be part of the process, words on a screen in the middle of the night - i hope they find you like a friend.”
Some of my favourite posts from the TWLOHA team:

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. YOU ARE LOVED. THERE IS, SURPRISINGLY, ALWAYS HOPE.
