Managing suicidal thoughts - World Suicide Prevention Day

Hi everyone,

World Suicide Prevention Day is on 10 September and the day aims to start the conversation about suicide and to show that recovery is possible. At The Mix, we've launched a new campaign to reduce the stigma faced when seeking support and show that support is available.

We'll be posting a few discussions across the next few weeks in the lead up to the 10 September. Anyone is welcome to take part and also post their own discussions.

For our first discussion, we wanted to hear from you about what your advice would be to someone struggling with suicidal thoughts? If you would like to share your own experience of what helps you, please do comment below.

You can also follow our campaign over on Instagram to get involved.
Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Don't you mean the next few days? 10th September is only 7 days away.

    @Dancer thank you! Last week went too fast, I thought we still had a few weeks until 10 September :)
