Wow! Y'all love @KevinHinesStory! Just after midnight on
#WSPD2019 I posted Ep 125 "From Suicidal to Inspired" with Kevin, Greg Van Borssum & Matt Runnells. In 8 hours there were nearly 6,000 unique downloads. Thank...
And I am better, stronger, more on top of my shit than I have ever been in my near-40 years on this planet.
It gets better.
I swear it - take it from someone that knows.
It. Gets. Better.

#WorldSuicidePreventionDay #WSPD2019 #WSPD
So it's #WorldSuicidePreventionDay / #WSPD2019.
Been going back and forth on this one all day.
But seeing the samaritans at the station on my way home from work pushed me over the line I think.
A sign maybe.
I think I'm finally ready to talk about this.
OK. Let's go.
On #WSPD2019 we can’t ignore attitudes to those presenting in ED with #selfharm. In the past I’ve been denied anaesthetic & my dignity ignored. Many ppl face untold judgement. Services are stretched but #dignity #respect #compassion costs nothing #enoughshame. We must do more!
On #WSPD2019 we must reflect on services. 8 yrs of the same discharge care plans despite self harm/suicide attempts worsening. Drowning in risk assessments, drowning in medication. I was no longer me, just symptoms. @geraldi75874879 @donnelly_oscar @lynnwoolsey1 #safetyplanning
Seemed most appropriate for my first tweet on #WSPD2019 to be one of #gratitude & #hope. Because however dark it gets & despair overwhelms #thereisanotherway. I know because I woke today, hugged my daughter goodbye & looked into my sons sleepy face #donotgiveup #youmatter
Hot off the press! Episode 125 for #WSPD2019 From Suicidal to Inspired: Interview with @KevinHinesStory, Greg Van Borssum, and Matt Runnells
"I learned that my suicidal thoughts don't have to lead to action."
