No one is "wrong" or "bad" for having suicidal thoughts. If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, please know you're not alone. There is help. The NATIONAL SUICIDE HOTLINE is 988. Just dial those three digits. Please know this, also: You have made it through every difficult experience you ever had, and you are absolutely strong enough to make it through this moment, too.

If you're worried about talking to someone who's struggling with suicidal thoughts because you're worried that you might "say the wrong thing," please know that you just being willing to be there for others means the world to them. You never need to say the "perfect" thing to just be present with someone and offer compassion.

Every emotional experience, no matter how dark, no matter how seemingly hopeless, has a beginning, middle and end. However any of us are ever feeling right now I promise all of us it cannot last forever.

Sending everyone who sees this, and everyone who doesn't, much peace.
