Having suicidal feelings, ideation, thoughts is something that happens to many people and unfortunately we lose thousands of people to suicide every year. Sometimes you need an unserious reason to not go through with it, even if it’s as silly you not wanting to do it because you have that one tub of ice-cream left.

Life is hard, unpredictable at times scary but believe me when I say, your life is so worth it. You deserve to feel seen, heard and understood and loved. You are not alone and you will never be alone so please hold on an extra day. Please Stay.
