(TW for self harm and suicide)

During the first Bush presidency I tried to kill myself, and obviously failed. I also engaged in a lot of self harm that I still carry the scars of today.

You need community, and you need joy. Those can get you through almost anything. It will get you through plague and death and suffering.

That doesn’t mean “just have a good time and ignore everything”, it means support the people who need you and take care of yourself as well, and reach out for help when you can’t.

Hey I’m glad you’re still here. I’ve been there too in some ways and I know it’s hard for people to appreciate what it takes to make it out of that place.
