Nobody talks enough about the people who are suicidal but still functioning.
Still working.
Still parenting.
Still laughing.
Still getting shit done.
While quietly thinking:
“I don’t know how much longer I can fucking do this.
I see you. 👀
Suicidal people deserve a safe place to talk about their suicidal feelings.
Without thinking they could be put in a mental hospital.
That fear is so real and so many can't speak up due to the fear of what might happen.

Until you’ve written a suicide note with despair in your heart, tears in your eyes, and pain in your soul so horrendous that it makes you believe death is the only solution for peace, don’t tell me that it’s cowardly, selfish, or an attempt for attention.
Saying suicide is selfish is easy when you’ve never lived with a mind that feels like a prison.
You’re asking someone to stay in hell just so you don’t have to grieve.
That’s not compassion.
That’s control.
Not sorry for saying this either..
Things my mental illness sometimes stops me doing..
• picking up the phone
• leaving the house
• eating healthy
• exercising
• laughing
• doing my hair or makeup
• getting dressed
Sometimes being able to do one of these things is a victory.
Retweet if you understand
Sometimes “I don’t want to be here anymore” actually means:
I can’t keep living like THIS.
I’m exhausted.
I’m overwhelmed.
I’m hurting.
I need something to change.
Please fucking hear me.
