I don't update this site very often... mostly I post stories and links to the FaceBook page. But every once in a while I post a bit here. Today I was moved to do so again.
I read an article from a PTSD FaceBook page that I shared on the Unvalidated Pain FB page. It talked about the media coverage on our nation's ever increasing suicide rate and how that coverage doesn't mention all the people who have reached out for help and gotten through a suicidal crisis. As one who volunteers for Crisis Text Line (741-741), I can attest to the fact that there are many who reach out for help and are saved from dying by suicide. It is important that this information is shared! That people can reach out, receive help, and recover!
Please reach out. Sometimes just having someone to talk to can make all the difference.
