Sale | Suicide Prevention Month

In honor of suicide prevention month I'm putting some books on sale so we can all get lost in someone's shoes for a while.

𝙻𝚎𝚝'𝚜 𝚐𝚎𝚝 𝚍𝚎𝚎𝚙... It's rare I ever get too personal on social media but suicide prevention month has only grown to be a bigger and bigger importance in my life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⤷ I think it's safe to say in 2020 almost 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚘𝚏 𝚞𝚜 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚍 𝚊 𝚍𝚒𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚜𝚞𝚒𝚌𝚒𝚍𝚊𝚕 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜 𝚘𝚛 𝚌𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗. Anxiety can often lead to suicidal thoughts or depression - 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚒𝚗𝚟𝚒𝚜𝚒𝚋𝚕𝚎 𝚖𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝚠𝚎 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚒𝚍𝚎 𝚙𝚎𝚘𝚙𝚕𝚎. I don't personally suffer from anxiety but a lot of my loved ones around me do and it's only magnified in these uncertain times. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⤷ I'm pretty much an open book when it comes to my life, experiences, hardships I've suffered but the ｓｈａｍｅ I feel around suicidal periods in my life is not okay.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We all have ups and downs, all unique, and all different levels of severity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⤷ It's no secret I don't handle rejection, drama, upsetting feelings well - I let them eat me alive like monsters do... (𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚏 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚗𝚍𝚞𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚢, 𝚑𝚞𝚑?) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

July/August was a hard month for me personally and I didn't share any details looking for validation because I let people make me question who I am as a person. I let their hurtful words about my character control me, poison me, and bring me right to the edge of places I left in the rearview. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I spiraled and I realized I was 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚎𝚕𝚜𝚎 to be aware of my own tendencies to get lost in the dark recesses of my mind. If I hadn't grown from my past experiences this could have turned out differently for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
