Posted @withregram • @lizwins_peersupport 988, the new “911 for mental health” launched yesterday, and it’s nothing to celebrate. 988 does not exist to offer coping tools, provide referrals to local mental health resources, or hold space for big existential discussions about the point of carrying on. Hotline staffers use a set of suicide screening questions to decide whether to initiate an "active rescue." The National Suicide Prevention Line calls the police on approximately 20% of callers; the police use geotracking technology to determine the caller’s location. 988 reduces the likelihood that a cadre of police with guns drawn will respond to a mental health crisis, but 988 will arrange for some police or a mobile crisis team to transport the person to an emergency room or psychiatric facility. I speak from personal experience: these places are terrifying. I could not believe the medieval medical environment where I was detained. Just because the asylums have closed does not mean the conditions for psychiatric patients have changed. Emergency rooms do not provide crisis intervention services; they are overcrowded, chaotic holding pens that decide whether to involuntarily hospitalize the person. Psychiatric wards take a fully biomedical and authoritarian approach to mental health, that the problem is with your brain, overmedication is the solution, and non-compliance is punishable by harming peoples’ bodies. Instead of calling 988, let’s ask people, “What would help look like to you?” If someone is feeling suicidal, it probably means that a series of things have gone wrong in their lives and the situation feels totally unmanageable. Instead of isolating that person in an environment where they are legally powerless, let’s help people solve their problems. What “help” looks like to each person would be different on a case-by-case basis, but 988 gives everyone the same treatment: taking their power away.

5 years ago, I woke up, not knowing it was our final day as a family,

I've learned so much, since that day

If I could press rewind, there's a million things I'd have done differently,

I'd have told you how amazing you are

How much you mean to me

And how ending your life wouldn't end the pain that was overwhelming you

Today, we carry that load

And we will continue to, until our last breaths

So to anyone struggling,

Please stay.

Please fight.

Please give it all you've got.

And if it gets dark,

Reach out.

Feeling pain doesn't mean you're weak

I promise, you aren't the only one.

Fightthewarwithin.org

In loving memory of

Army Ranger Veteran Garrett Briggs

July 31, 1989- January 31, 2018

You have to keep swimming....

You have to... people love you.

People depend on you.

You are light in this world.

You are love and you are loved.

Your presence has value.

You HAVE to keep swimming.

Because I promise you...

and promising is something I rarely do...

You will laugh again.

You will smile again.

You will love again

You will cry again.

This moment....

THIS moment.... in this darkness that you have found yourself in will not last forever.

I know it may FEEL like it...

But feelings are rarely facts...

And the sun will rise again.

You will see a light again...

You will rise again.

Just keep swimming...

Just keep moving

You don't have to do anything in these moments but just be.

One breath at a time....

One broken heartbeat at a time.

One tear at a time.

Battling the intrusive thoughts,

One whispering lie at a time.

Yes, I know this place.

I have been taken here against my will...

And of my own accord at different times in my life.

I found myself here recently....

But YOU DO NOT QUIT.

You move through

Because that's what you do.

You fight because that's all you've known.

You fight because your moment of monumental growth is just beyond this current struggle.

You fight because giving up now would make no sense you're invested...

Don't forsake all you've worked for for these moments that WILL pass like the black clouds of a cold dark thunderstorm.

The whispering lie will tell you this is forever and you have to escape and there's only one way out.

But that's simply not true.

I happen to know a little bit about this darkness...

This evil mistress attempting to seduce me to her way.

it doesn't matter if you're tired...

if you're weak

if you're afraid...

If you're broken

Addicted

Enslaved

You keep BEing,

HEART BEATING,

BREATHING

One moment,

one beat

one breath at at time.

Because that's all we have sometimes....

But we have that

and as long as we have that

there's hope.

so be, tired, weak and afraid...

But you don't stop until you're through it.....

and I know fear....

There has been nothing that I fear in this life...

NOTHING more paralyzing

More crippling

NOTHING that I find more terrifying

or challenging.

Cunning baffling or powerful

Than the darkness that I have somehow given this power to,

that stirs within me.

But LOVE conquers all.

Yes, I fear the darkness

As I have let it take me before.

But I refuse to lose.

I am ready for war

It cannot have me.

In honor of it being suicide prevention month, and the month where a DID system we loved dearly passed away, we got this tattoo of a cartoonish Redstone torch from Minecraft (In honor of the Redstone system)

We lose too many people to suicide, young people who haven’t even experienced life yet. They all deserved better, and I will always carry my friend with me

Ok tumblr do your thing

😅no but fr I have a friend living in Orlando Florida who desperately needs access to professional therapy services or resources at the moment. She recently went through a pretty traumatic experience with a loss of a loved one. Any resources anyone knows about would be an huge help. I'm doing my own research as well.

Again thanks!

That Deep, Gaping Hole Hey sunshine, How’s it hanging? Hopefully you’ve been having a sunny week like me. Hopefully you’re finding those little sparks of wellness throughout your day, even when the darkness is thick. For me, things continue to be up and down, but I’ve made some surprising efforts that I’m really proud of. I keep telling myself that the most important thing is to be tolerant of…

So what do we do now?

If you're taking the time to read this I can only assume you're trying to stay alive and I am so proud of you for that. It takes a lot of strength to make that choice, a choice I hope you continue to make It took me many years to accept that this is a part of me. I used to believe each time I got out of a suicidal episode that that would be it, I thought "great, I made it out, I feel better", I didn't think it would come back. But it kept coming back, and every time it did I felt even more hopeless than the last. I'd convinced myself last time that it was indeed going to be the last time So when it came back again I felt even weaker than before. I had exerted so much time and energy trying to pin point, process and overcome the things that have made me feel suicidal in the first place and those thoughts creeping back in always made me feel like the effort I'd put in was for nothing. I believed that as long as these thoughts continued to come to me there was no point in even trying. It was too much effort and it "wasn't working". Each time it happened again made me want to give up even more than I ever had before "it's only a matter of time before I finally give in" I would think to myself. I spent years basically waiting to commit suicide. Going about daily life as best I could, just waiting for the next episode to be the final one. Then I had a little bit of a revelation. After 22 years fighting these thoughts and urges, this time it hit me that this aspect of my psyche was not going away... and maybe accepting that was the only thing that was going to make it easier to live with? Cause I've chosen to live. I'm staying here (as I hope you are). And with that, what I want to be focussing on now is what I can do for myself, to make staying here feel that little bit better.

This is where acceptance came in. I decided to let those thoughts be there, to accept they are a part of me. I still feel a bit crazy because of it some times but I'm getting there. And when I began to give myself some grace the shame of it all began to lift. I found when I accepted rather than fought those thoughts they had a lot less power over me. For years I would freak out when I noticed those thoughts begin to resurface. I would subconsciously be telling myself I wasn't as strong as I thought I was, or if it's back again then there's no point in trying to fight it because if I hadn't got over it by now I never would. I was telling myself some really shit stories, basically. Somewhere in there I wanted to allow and accept it but I feared that truly seeing it and opening up to it would give it the power to overtake every aspect of me completely, however, when I began telling myself something more along the lines of "There it is again. Well I knew it was going to come at some point and now it's here I also know it's going away again too. It always comes but it also always goes away." I gave it less power than I had before. I learned the opposite of my fear was actually true. Accepting and allowing instead of fighting had effectively made it shrink. The only thing giving these thoughts power was my fear, my shame, my attention. And the thoughts and feelings subsided far quicker than they typically would, I'd used up far less energy than I typically would "fighting" one of these episodes. And my rational thoughts remained stronger than they had before. And instead of feeling defeat I felt proud of how I'd handled this time, I didn't have a suicide plan in my head this time, I had more confidence in myself knowing I can live with this part of me being there, somewhere, in the back of my mind, laying dormant for the majority but every now and then rearing its ugly head. I don't have to fear those days, those thoughts. I don't have to let those episodes make me feel as though my healing work was all for nothing. I don't have to buy in to the horrible things my mind sometimes tries to tell me and neither do you For now this is part of my life and what I can control is how I choose to handle that

Never forget.

Ever.

Even for a second.

That even after the darkest night,

There is a sunrise.

Hang on.

There's light left for you.
