I was a victim of domestic violence this week. Spoke with them on Monday and Tuesday, and they are calling me tonight and writing a report. They save lives. Talking about you, DaQuon and Jeremy. Love you.
Many Americans are trying their very best but still struggle, this country gives them hope. It is a pivotal stone in their personal foundation that keeps them pushing forward. Being an American has given me a sense of belonging, pride, and security. My foundation has been cracked and is shaky.
Thank You for posting. I have called 988. You don’t need to be actively suicidal. You can be overwhelmed and in emotional crisis. The counselors and peer support work are phenomenal. If you feel like you are in crisis pick up the phone and call.
We are all in this together never feel alone. I will never forget Michelle Obama posting during Covid that she woke up feeling blue and thought, how brave of her …and we all do from time to time but know a friendly voice is only a phone call away ..🫶
Thank you. I am not actively suicidal but very overwhelmed in deep despair with such fear. My friend died in her sleep this week and I feel she's the lucky one. I also do have a suicide plan for if the orange Nazi army comes door to door. I'd like to be friends.
I have friend that work with low income families, LGBTQ communities and mental health programs, they are broken, scared and not knowing where to begin. I think some of us forget how deeply all of this is scaring people who are already in tough positions. It makes me sick and so fucking angry.
Oddly I'm not feeling depressed or despair. Just a seething white hot defiance that's only validating my lust for life, and I'll be dog day damned if I'm going to just lay down and die while I watch my country be burned to the ground. Die nazi scum.
Genuine question here. I can’t keep up with the cuts. Is 988 still being funded? Are there any risks to it being deactivated? I ask so that I don’t ever give advice that could do more harm if they can’t reach someone.
If you can't reach someone there cause it's on the chopping block, call a friend or family member. Just talk to someone, even a stranger. Don't give up. Sometimes, the people you think don't care, really do. It's just that life gets the better of them.
How will they make more riches off us if we are dead or close to it? I don't understand their end game. I don't understand why he is getting away with so much harm
It’s so hard to wrap my head around. I don’t think they will get away with it. Too much backlash. But at this stage of my life I am thoroughly pissed that we even have to worry about this. It’s our earned benefit.
The stress right now for vulnerable people has got to be overwhelming! Personally I am close to this subject —my teen grandson hung himself from my gazebo. I held him up and screamed for neighbors who cut him down. He survived but this was a heartbreak for our family.
I have cptsd and used to have thoughts 50x a day it's exhausting and debilitating- now since on Mounjaro it's cut down to almost none... but since the 20th the thoughts are back. I feel overwhelmed hopeless etc- I'm a military mom and what my son said is ALARMING! I'm so done......
Just remember this a not a race but a marathon. There are many lawsuits that will reverse a lot of crazy orders. They are rushing to try to change things beforehand and upset us. Take a deep breath and resist 💙
Yes- I'm praying so... he's testing for the courts. I have to stay for my adult boys- I cannot leave them I realize that .... it's a huge struggle but that gets me through knowing I'll die for them before I give up on myself.
Thank you for the info. After watching Lee last night, I cried for a bit and realized if we could beat Hitler one patriot at a time, we have the singular power to make a difference
It works. I called once with doubts. But we spoke long enough that the urge in that moment passed. And I think everyday about what I'd have missed if I had done it.
I'll be damned if I'm going to let Trump & his Nazis kill me in anyway. That would just be embarrassing. I'm from Generation Jones & we are tough bastards.
I don't have to harm myself. Felon 47 and his fascist collaborators took my meds from me (can't afford them now), took rights from my family, and is trying to take all of our healthcare, sanity money, and healthy food. He is killing me.
I am sorry to have to say it. I worked my ass off serving my community as an ICU then vascular access RN. Only to have him destroy me. I barely survived his first term, got out of the hole with Biden only to be gutted my Felon 47.
Have you tried Mark Cuban's Cost Plus for your meds? Or Costco? I hear they have best prices. I hate to read that someone can't afford meds, especially another nurse. Cost of everything is outrageous!
I know there has been talk of him rolling back the caps on prescription drugs, insulin, etc., but did that already happen? You are actually already paying more?
I have a whole complicated situation going on and SS, Medicare, Part D plan and HHS records all day something different. So I can not get SS on the phone despite hours on hold to confirm anything. I got one dose from rheumatologist but have zero idea what I will do from here.
Well if he gets his way I figure about 40% will be homeless or very near , starved, in serious pain and suffering, but those rich white men will be fine .I think they are counting on people continuing to follow the latest BS without checking to see what they are doing/stealing behind the curtain.
We don't need to take our lives, must fight till the end ..but many of us will not survive this fascist regime and don't be naive to think it's only going to be...4 years....
Sadly, my question is when does this literal lifeline become negatively affected by the nightmare that is being put upon all of us? Isn’t it a fed or national level entity? I understand is that it is a partnered organization both private and federal. Feedback?
Trump is triggering.But all bullies are actually small insecure cowards.Trump will be taken down.We all need to find our common ground & reinforce our shared goals.Now is the time to reach out to others & form coalitions stronger than theirs. Action is the antidote to depression. Channel the anger.
I’ve been pretty depressed and anxious lately. Been suffering from it for over 30 years. Still my thoughts are more about hoping for someone else’s death these days. I’m ready to move past the resistance and revolt.
Yes. This is just the very begging of what’s likely to be the hardest times any of us have faced. I’ve been in that dark spot where ending it really does seem like a logical choice.
It’s not. Hold on and have zero shame asking for help. We all need each other to stay.
And even if you aren’t to that point, there are warm lines you can call too.
Many people call just to have a non-judgmental person to talk to when friends or family aren’t listening. Libraries and the county have them. In MN wellness in the woods 5pm-9am ph 1-844-739-6369 https://mnwitw.org
I have personally used 988. It interrupted my compulsion to come up with a plan to do harm. That was a while ago and I recover more and more each day. Do not hesitate to get help.

Oh, wait, I’ve been doing that for decades.

Overwhelmed like the government operators / lines in DC
their only objective is to put a person in restraints and then get coffee
🙏🙏🙏
It's not my life I want to take but rather......
Especially with the price of everything else today
Asking for help is not a weakness. It's a strength.
