XAY, its spring
almost time to break out the warmer weather clothes. Need any help with SAD or depression this spring? Call our friends @youmatterlifeline (800-273-TALK)
I’m here because I got help. I’m here because even though I was suicidal, somebody was there to talk me down from it. I’m here because I realized there is so much more to this world than the people and society who say you aren’t good enough and put you down. I am here because there are people who care.
I’m a survivor and I’m here for you.
Whether its here or offline there’s someone who cares if you’re alive. Thanks for sharing your story!
Today’s suicide awareness day and in honor, I’d like to venture away from my type of blog and share my dads story. My dad was only 42 when he took his own life. It was the morning of August 5, 2011 that I got woke up by my brother saying that our mom needed to talk to us. Little did we know, we were about to hear the most devastating news that any kid could ever receive. My dad was a strong man with a lot of great things in his life.
Every single day I think about what I could’ve said or done differently to prevent him from leaving us. Every single day, I think about every little argument we ever got in. I didn’t realize how much he meant to me until it was too late and I couldn’t ever see him again. He won’t be here to watch his kids graduate. He won’t be here to walk his daughter down the isle and hand her away to a man that truly loves her. And unfortunately he won’t be here for his grandchildren to meet him.
One conversation could’ve changed everything. One conversation could’ve saved a life. Take the day to have an honest conversation with someone close to you or maybe even someone you don’t know. Some of the things you say to them, may save them from theirselves. Take a few minutes out of your day to really get to know the people around you. You never know how much of an impact they have on you until they’re gone.
In honor of Michael S. Kopecky: May 31, 1969 - August 5, 2011.
A powerful story from a survivor of suicide loss. Thank you for sharing and I’m so sorry for your loss.
nathanjonny asked: you are not saving a life, you are just trying to keep alive those who would rather be dead just because you cant handle the idea of not being enough reason to make them live (is not for all the cases) and have you seen this world and his history... people should start proclaming mental issues to that someones that see it as a nice place to be.
This is real talk man. I hear your frustration. I think the most real response I can offer is:
1: A lot of people care that you’re alive.
2. It’s good that you’re able to find comfort in expression your frustration and your feelings.
3. If you ever feel like its all too much please reach out for help. In the U.S. you can call the Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK.
