I'm going to post a slightly different support message for those struggling with mental health issues and/or suicidal thoughts. Yes, there is a number you can call, you are not alone: Call 1-800-273-8255 (USA hotline). Additionally, it's okay to not be comfortable calling it.
As someone who struggles with mental health, contemplates suicide almost daily, has tried to attempt suicide, and also suffers from severe social anxiety and generalized anxiety, I would probably never call this hotline personally. And that's okay! It's not a be-all solution.
I also don't have a lot of close people in my life that I feel I can turn to. I'm highly introverted, have very few friends, and keep most of my innermost thoughts to myself. I don't currently have the capability to seek professional counseling (I have in the past though).
There are folks out there, many I imagine, who have other challenges and difficulties, so there is no single answer for every person struggling. The best advice I can give, is to check in on the people you care about. Ask how they are, offer an ear, show your support and love.
Sometimes it's the smallest acts of kindness and empathy, that lets a person know they're not alone, and it's okay to not be okay. Everyone is different, everyone has varying needs, and not everyone can or will seek help on their own. It does not make them a lost cause!
It can be almost impossible to tell if someone is suffering, even the people you think you may know the best, and that's why suicide can seem so sudden, so shocking. But so many people are suffering each and every day, in silence, feeling lost and alone as the world crushes them.
Be kind to one another. Ask what you can do for others. Show those around you that you support and love them. It doesn't have to always be big things, it can be small things. Words, actions, intent - all matter. If you see or sense something, do or say something. It matters!
My DMs are always open. As someone struggling, I can't promise the best advice. But I can offer a listening ear, non-judgmental support, hugs, empathy, compassion, genuine care, to be a friend. I know I can't offer much, but I'll never turn my back on someone who needs help.
Over the years I have reached out to many people, some that I had never talked to before, out of pure concern and wanting to show my support. I don't know how much help I provided in the end, but I'm always hopeful that it lets them know someone is listening, someone cares.
Whether you call the prevention number, seek professional help, confide in friends or family, or whatever you feel comfortable doing, every step is important. You are not alone, and you are not less of a person for needing help, even if you have trouble expressing it to others.
In closing, I just want to say how much I appreciate my followers. I consider many of you friends, even though we don't actually know each other. You have no idea how much your support and friendship means to me, and I can't thank you all enough for your love and kindness!
