So, this post will be a bit more personal than my usual material. If you are triggered by conversations about suicide, this is definitely not for you. I have decided to write this piece in hopes that it reaches someone else who is having a hard time, letting them know that they are not alone. While I have a rotten sense of humor and make light of my suicidal thoughts at times, this is a serious subject that probably affects someone you know.
I never thought I’d say this: If you or someone you know needs support now, call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org.
