Hope everyone is okay.

    Just wanted to echo this and I hope everyone is doing okay and put the reminder out there that people on here are here to support you and listen if you need someone to talk to.

    This is a lovely thread for World Suicide Prevention Day. <3

    I wanted to share a few new articles we posted on The Mix's website that anyone might want to have a read through:

    1. A letter to myself & anyone struggling with suicidal thoughts - A young person who volunteers at The Mix wrote this open letter to themselves at different stages of their life, to help themselves and others cope with suicidal thoughts. (Click here for the full article)

    2. Having a conversation about suicide - experts at Papyrus share their advice how how to support someone with suicidal thoughts (click here for the full article).

    I hope these articles are helpful. Feel free to share them with anyone you know who might find them helpful too <3
    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 ❤
