You are allowed to say NO. You don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to or feel comfortable with. If you are overwhelmed and can’t handle another thing on your plate then say no. Saying no does not make you any less than the amazing person that you are 💓

Suicidal thoughts are the enemy. To fight this enemy we need to understand their power over us. How strong are they? they can convince a parent that their children would be better off without them.
It is crazy how depression can con us into believing the absurd.
