Suicide is preventable... When people go into insolation or their temperament change - thats the time to reach out. Lets get away from “CALL ME IF YOU NEED SOMETHING” - Pick up the phone and CALL or TEXT.. initiate communication.
.
This time 5 yrs ago, I took selfies everyday - smiling- hash tagged #liesbehindmysmile, then I went into insolation and “disappeared” from social media for 6 weeks right before my suicide attempt. I did not have the strength to reach out- I did not have the strength to ask for support. I did not have the strength to ask for help. I needed somebody- anybody to reach out, to ASK ME vs chastise me by saying “why didn’t you call me?” or “why didn’t you say something?” Emotionally, Mentally, and vocally I was paralyzed. .

PLEASE CHECK ON YOUR LOVE ONES. Call them... Text them.. Love up on them. 💕

5 years ago... 157,766,400 seconds, 2,629,440 minutes, 43,824 hours,1826 days,260 weeks and 6 days ago today I began my survival story.
💚.
On August 22, 2014 I attempted suicide. Depressed, over come with grief, mourning, I’d lost all desire to “be here”. I’d post selfies every day with the hashtag #liesbehindmysmile, I’d become distant, stopped answering the phone, stopped going out, disappeared from social media for 6 weeks, and was not emotionally safe.
💚
I remember being on @dianarramsey periscope and I blurted it out!!! She was like “wait... WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?” and I said it again. I had no idea that at the moment on I was owning my story. The healing process had begun. I had no idea that I would be filled with love and light.
💚.
Honestly I'd prepared myself to be condemned, judged, and sentenced to hell. I had no idea that so many of you shared my experience, traveled down that dark lifeless road. I had no idea that when I posted a video of my all time favorite song Empower Yourself that many of you knew the song, and lived by those words. I had no idea that when I peeled off the layers and stood naked and defenseless on periscope I was me owing my truth.. owing my story.. and loving myself through the process. I had no idea.. But what I know is.. there is POWER IN KNOWLEDGE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
💚.
I acknowledge that I needed support, I needed love, I needed to grieve, I needed to trust the process, I needed to be vulnerable, I needed to know that what I was feeling was ok, I needed to validate myself, and most importantly- I NEEDED TO FOREVER LIVE WITH INTENTION!!!!! I SURVIVED!!!!!.
💚
Thank you @pamelajbooker @koilsbynature you’re the real MVP in my survival story 💚
