Some of you might’ve noticed that my icon has changed! Tomorrow is national Suicide prevention day, and I thought I’d change my icon to the teal and purple ribbon. The ribbon stands for three things:
The awareness of domestic and sexual abuse.
Suicide prevention.
Support and awareness for those who are family of people who’ve committed suicide.
Someone who is struggling with suicidal ideations may feel like they have no one to go to or talk to, but there’s always someone out there who loves you, even if it feels like nobody is there for you. I promise you that life is worth living, and you will get through this.
In the summer of 2017, I had lost my step mother to suicide. She was stuck in an abusive relationship with my father, and she felt as though she had no other choice than to kill herself. I thoroughly believe that if she was willing to talk to someone the night she killed herself, she’d still be here today rather than in a box over my fireplace.
Please, if you’re genuinely considering killing yourself or you find yourself stuck in an abusive relationship, I urge you to seek professional help.
Remember: there’s always hope.
You can show your support by reblogging this and you’re more than welcome to change your icon to the purple and teal ribbon out of support!
