We have a new week ahead of us. Remember that you don't have to face it alone.

Your friends love you. Your dreams are cool.
You’re a really nice person. Don’t doubt it.

The messages you surround yourself with matter. Keep leaning into the truth that you're needed here.

In case you need to hear it:
There’s a lot of possibility for things to change.

Listen to your body when it tells you something is wrong. Trust the voice that says you need help.

In case you need to hear it:
Future You is going to be so proud of you.

“I hadn’t talked to them in five years, kept up with their life through the little photos in boxes on the interwebs, and believed the lies that social media tells: That we are all fine and nobody could possibly be struggling like me.” https://twloha.com/blog/the-after/

I'm here.

You can do both. You can hope for change and honor that you’re here.

Your past is not your present. Your present is not your future. There is still so much of your story left to be written.

Don’t miss out on our Virtual Move For It 5k happening on May 2! Hundreds of people across the globe will be moving in honor of those we’ve lost, for the world we want to see, and the stories we’re still writing. We’d love for you to join us. Learn more and get started at moveforit5k.com.

“I still can’t tell you why I made it out, and they didn’t. But I can tell you that after about six weeks of treatment and being allowed to wrestle with my depression on my own terms, I decided to take suicide off the table.” https://twloha.com/blog/the-after/

In case you need to hear it:
You’re not weak for taking it day by day.
Or hour by hour.
Or minute by minute.
You’re actually really amazing for still going.

20 years later, and we’re still sharing stories. Still sharing hope. Still offering help. 20 years later, we’re still here. And we’re glad you are too.

To Write Love: A Documentary on the Movement. Coming soon.

The hard things are lighter when we carry them together.

“When you take your own life, the world does not simply go on as it did before. A large range of people’s lives are irrevocably changed. You might have come to terms with how your family and close friends would feel, but the impact will spread like wildfire." https://twloha.com/blog/the-after/

In case you need to hear it:
Your story isn’t over.

“To those who have lost loved ones or even strangers to suicide, I want to tell you that, regardless of your relation to the person, your grief is valid. For a long time, I thought that my grief was taking up space that didn’t belong to me.” https://twloha.com/blog/the-after/

In case you need to hear it:
You’re not too much.

“I think about Tate every day, and I wish they had made a different decision. I wish all people who took their own lives had made a different decision. As I sit here a year later, I can’t remember the last time I had a suicidal thought.” https://twloha.com/blog/the-after/

In case you need to hear it:
You don’t have to do the hard seasons all alone.

Your mental health struggles do not define you. They are not a moral failing.

We’re looking for streamers who want to make a difference this May, in honor of Mental Health Month. Learn more about this streaming event at https://tilt.fyi/MlM3n3oT9D .

I think about Tate every day, and I wish they had made a different decision. I wish all people who took their own lives had made a different decision. As I sit here a year later, I can’t remember the last time I had a suicidal thought. I don’t know why I made it, and so many others don’t. I do know, though, that life is worth living and for today that is enough. Carter Guthrie The After

Note: This piece mentions suicide. Please use your discretion.

A year ago, Carter lost a childhood friend to suicide. The news hit hard, not only with grief, but with how deeply it resonated. We invite you to read “The After” at https://twloha.com/blog/the-after/

Remember to be loud about the good things, too.

It can be hard to talk about the things we’re struggling with, but sometimes it’s hard to talk about the good things, too. Especially when we’re scared they’re temporary, or we haven’t had anything to celebrate in a while. But let this be your reminder. You can talk about it all.
