I'm not bashing your blog or anything, it's great. I was just wondering if you were aware the helpfulness of suicide hotlines. My sister told me she called one once, and they only said to therapist, but she wouldn't even be calling if she's seen one already. That lead me to read about others' experiences, and I found that it's happened before, and that they're really not professionals. I'm aware of other recourses that help with suicidal thoughts, but I don't think that hotlines are a good one. 7 years ago

I have this problem of my friends always being suicidal and asking me for help. I love helping them, but I can't take it anymore. Whenever I feel like I need help I feel like I'm bothering them. How can I keep my mental health steady while still helping theirs? 8 years ago

To the anon in despair over sexuality: I highly recommend giving the Trevor Project a call. At last check, it is listed under the Hotlines and Crisis Lines section of MIM. LGBT issues - in particular suicidal ideation over sexuality - is their specialty. Please reach out to them. They would be more than happy to offer assistance and comfort in your time of need. Stay strong. <3 10 years ago

Hello Mice!

With the holiday season in full swing, the mods will not be able to answer your asks with as much frequency or as thoroughly as we normally would. Please remember that we have several sidebar links with several helpful resources within them to help you when we cannot:

These links are here to help you, so please take advantage of them. We copy & paste from them most of the time anyway!

I hope this helps, and I hope you all have wonderful holidays or that you can at least get through them. I know you can do it.

Love,

Lena

notabled-noodle:

learning to stop hating yourself isn’t something that happens overnight.

it’s a series of negotiations you make with yourself over your whole life. it’s making one less self-deprecating joke. it’s looking at yourself in the mirror with a little more generosity. it’s forgiving yourself for that little mistake.

it’s not one thing and then you’re good. it’s many small choices you can make that slowly make your brain and body a little less uncomfortable to live with
