YOUR STORIES of HOPE and SURVIVAL
Series 1 (Episode 4): Suicide Won’t Fix Anything
For a lot of trauma survivors who have ever grappled with suicide, we see death as a quick “fix.” A solution.
It isn’t. You’re simply passing the problem on.
If you die, we don’t know what happens to you. But we know the problem isn’t fixed.
Stay alive and fix the problem. Heal. Be whole.
Series 1 (Episode 5): Call a Crisis Hotline
In most countries, there’s a suicide and crisis hotline you can call if you want to die. In many countries you can even text instead of calling.
Such a simple thing to do. But that call or text can save a life.
Maybe yours.
Don’t kill yourself. Call or text a crisis hotline.
