No one should face their darkest moments alone. 💙

It’s #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. We want every young person who is experiencing suicidal feelings to see this letter from Louisa, 19:
Hi there,
I’ve been where you are so many times. Sometimes I go back to that dark place, and it’s painful and scary. But each time, I carry on. I am here, I am living, and I’m happy that I am. Give yourself time - with patience and gentleness, you will get here too.
I know that you’re exhausted, that you’re fighting with all your might to stay alive, that it feels like nothing is going right. I know that it feels like you’ve tried everything to get better, but nothing seems to be working. I know that it seems impossible. I know you’ve probably been told a million times ‘it will get better,’ and I know that each time it becomes even more difficult to believe.
It’s hard to keep on going when these thoughts return, but the time in between this distress will gradually get longer and longer. The urges will become less and less. The happiness and joy you will feel will override the thoughts you have had. It’s okay if you don’t feel optimistic about the future – it’s enough to just feel curious about what will happen next.
I promise you, with all my heart, that the very best thing you will ever do for yourself is to keep going. Keep on fighting. There will come a day, not too far from now, where you will look back at this time and be so glad that you stayed. I know it feels difficult to believe now, but this will not last forever. This is not all that you are.
Your life is worth fighting for, and nothing will ever change this. You’ve gotten through so many things that you thought that you couldn’t, and you will continue to get through this. I believe in you. There is a future version of yourself who’s proud you were strong enough to keep going.
One day, you’ll be able to look at yourself and say that you’ve made it, and that’s something worth fighting for.

Sometimes the hardest words to say are the most important. By having more open conversations, we give people the chance to express how they feel and get the support they need. It could even save a life. 💚
@TheLastLeg@JonniePeacock Simply The Best. Never forget the difference you’ve made to so many of us. And of course to the world of para athletics. Thank you. #JonnieBeGood

There is a tiny minority of far right thugs determined to take part in attacks on minorities & the police & willing to hijack tragedies to drive hate.
The question is who radicalised them?
If you’re in any doubt, it might be worth checking who is making excuses for them now.
After “everything” this wonderful book gives us the best of humanity. If you’d like a copy RT and I’ll do a random winner pick in the next couple of days. #JamesBaldwin
