Okay, so on World Suicide Prevention Day’s post, I’ll actually go into depth more about how to talk to someone who might be suicidal. So I’ll only gloss over that briefly today. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention has so many great Social Media images that you can use for this week! I wanted toContinue reading “#RealConvo”

Live Through This – My Past
Something you should be aware of: Suicide Survivor. This term can often refer to someone who has lost a loved one to suicide or Suicide Attempt Survivor meaning someone who attempted suicide. These are two very different things. I shared my suicide attempt story with the Live Through This project run by Dese’Rae Stage wayContinue reading “Live Through This – My Past”
The Taboo of Suicide
I love Headspace. Elektra recently linked me to their Youtube channel so I thought I would share this before going into my topic of today’s blog. NAMI debunks myths about suicide… After reading NAMI’s article, I wanted to repost the Myths and post my own take on the “Facts” that they posted. I’m not aContinue reading “The Taboo of Suicide”
Kicking Off National Suicide Prevention Week
I started trying to plan out what I was going to do for this week and I realized that I almost overwhelmed myself. I’m really invested in this topic so I want to do well with it, but I also don’t really have experience professionally writing about mental health. All of it is my ownContinue reading “Kicking Off National Suicide Prevention Week”
Prep Work
I did it! I really, really did it! I built up a nice sized buffer of entries for the blog. I’m almost worried now that I’m going to jinx myself by saying it. By the time I took the screenshot below, I had most of the posts ready except two or three. But I’ve managedContinue reading “Prep Work”
September 2.0
It’s September! I said that yesterday. Part of me even thought that I should maybe change the topic of yesterday’s post, but I feel like September 1st isn’t the only day that I can talk about this. Not that this is not an important subject… I just wanted to give myself a day to letContinue reading “September 2.0”
September and the LEGO Brain
It’s September! This is a volatile month for me. Bad memories. I’m hoping that Autumn starts to settle in here, but I sincerely doubt it. It feels like we’re rolling into the Second Summer and along with that, a heat wave. I suppose I’ll just have to crank the air conditioner up, drink a tonContinue reading “September and the LEGO Brain”
Drowning
I lost all my buffer days, which has really hit me hard. I was doing good creating posts, but then it just all hit me like a ton of bricks. I have a therapy session this Friday so that’s something to look forward to, but I’m feeling guilty that I haven’t been working on myContinue reading “Drowning”
Sun Coming Up at the Funeral at Dawn
Velveteen’s funeral wasn’t quite at Dawn. We took my Step Daughter to school then came back to the house to put her to rest. (With the posts taking place a few days ago… My today is Friday, but this should post on Sunday.) My SO helped me dig the hole. We have a small hillContinue reading “Sun Coming Up at the Funeral at Dawn”
Sleepless in Wherever
Tried the breathing exercise and some music tending exercises. Worked on meditation. Brain is running thousands of miles a minute. After tossing and turning and changing positions a hundred times, I gave up and decided to write this post. I’m going to be packing my step daughters lunch in a few hours. Splurged and gotContinue reading “Sleepless in Wherever”
