new book: absolutely do absolutely nothing

[Stephen @SuicideOverride]

Pretty special Sunday. Wanted to do a #writerslift to celebrate the launch of my new book: absolutely do absolutely nothing

This is my journey to officially moving beyond #suicide.

I've published two books that I'm incredibly proud of. And that are true. For anyone who is struggling, there is hope. There is light. Keep choosing life.

I started this journey because I needed to talk about #suicidality. And my own battle with suicidal thoughts.

And through my experience with talking - sometimes shouting *fuck off and die!*, I began to change.

[Stephen @SuicideOverride]

With that said, I'm going to be stepping away from here. It's not goodbye but rather au revoir. There may be a time I need to come back - when I have something more to say. Until then, thanks for sharing, learning and growing with me and take care.

@CoryDWill Life’s simple pleasures right? Love that.

When thinking about #recovery, what motivates you?

[Stephen @SuicideOverride]

We will probably fail many times in many different ways, even catastrophically, before blindly leaping into success.

#recovery #depression #mentalhealth

It's all much, much less than you'd think.

And much, much simpler.

I call the work of apparently fighting for my life 'Conscious Resistance.'

I love the name Conscious Resistance - it perfectly encapsulates the requirement here.

We must RESIST the urge to kill ourselves - that is, we do not do it!

Happy New Year! Remember that #recovery is a continuous journey that can start right now.

Sending everyone happiness and health in 2022.

My extreme journey, walking the border between life and death, and between sanity and madness has taken me outside the bubble, or outside the box.

I hope it can help you look at your own progress differently: https://t.co/H3FG7PjZzV

@SIMONDAVIDCOOPE I like that idea - broad with lots of room to ebb and flow. Have you set any for next year yet?

[Stephen @SuicideOverride]

How do people feel about setting New Year's #resolutions? Is it helpful to set intentions or can it hinder authentic #progress?

@sparkie316 Congrats - and good for you for acknowledging and celebrating your progress. It's real!

[Stephen @SuicideOverride]

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays to all of the lovely people I've connected with here. Here's to the progress ahead.

[Stephen @SuicideOverride]

Don't look for big changes or dramatic improvements. True #recovery is too solid for that, it's too ordinary. It's not a big noise, it's a low and continuous reassuring hum.

#progress #RecoveryPosse

[Stephen @SuicideOverride]

Happy Monday! So what does true #recovery look like?

recovered... not recovered... recovered... not recovered...

etc. etc.

Not perfect. Not smooth. Not easy. But absolutely happening.

#RecoveryPosse

[Stephen @SuicideOverride]

It feels amazing to have a book out about #recovery and to be able to shine a light on my experience overcoming suicidality.

We want to kill ourselves not because our lives are unbearably horrible but because they're unbearably beautiful... and we can easily bear both of those things...at once...
