I just heard someone say.
The reason you isolate when you’re struggling is because you were left alone as a child to deal with your emotions.
I felt that, I felt that a lot.
Woah
lets heal and recover

- Just heard someone say.. No one notices your sadness until it turns into anger, and then you're the problem. Healing is realizing you became the angry person because no one saw your sadness first. Woah
- Suicidal people deserve better than to be told the main reason they shouldn’t kill themselves is because of how it might affect others. Suicidal people deserve love and help, not guilt trips. Suicidal people deserve to feel like their life is worth living, worth fighting for.
- I absolutely HATE the idea of ‘well someone else has it worse’ like NO. Your pain and trauma are completely valid despite what someone else went through..
- Woah I just heard someone say. "You're not healing to be able to handle trauma, pain, anxiety, depression. You're used to those. You're healing to be able to handle joy and to accept happiness backinto your life." This hits deep
- “Suicide is selfish because it hurts the people left behind.” No what’s selfish is ignoring someone’s pain while they’re alive, then blaming them when they couldn’t carry it anymore.
- If you self isolate when things get incredibly tough. And you push everyone away. It’s because you had to pull yourself out of every dark place alone. Because you never knew what it was like to be supported. Because the only person you had to rely on was you. Because no one ever
- I just heard someone say The isolated family member is the one who's truly awake.. Damn.

- Anxiety isn’t always panic attacks. Sometimes it’s: • Overthinking every text • Replaying conversations for hours • Feeling like something’s wrong, even when it’s not • Needing reassurance but feeling annoying for asking It’s exhausting & invisible.
- Suicidal thoughts aren’t always I want to die. They’re also.. I feel trapped. I need a way out. I am a burden. What’s the point in life? I need to escape my thoughts. Nothing will ever get better. I see no future. I can’t bare this pain anymore. Am worthless. #SuicideAwareness
- Depression isn’t always crying. Sometimes it’s just… •Not eating •Not sleeping •Not caring •Not moving •Not even feeling sad, just… nothing It’s the silent heaviness that people don’t see. And that makes it even harder.
