If you are thinking about suicide, please know that your feelings can change. Recovery from your thoughts of suicide is possible and there is always someone to talk to. In addition to the options of life or death, there is a third option of staying safe for now ❤️
[Image description: the image is titled 'Thinking about suicide?' and includes 5 steps all in black text. These are '1. Wait. Decide not to do anything right now to hurt yourself. You do not have to act on your thoughts of suicide. Your thoughts and feelings CAN change.' '2. Talk to someone. It could be a friend, family member, or support service. There are people who can listen & help.' '3. If talking is difficult, there is online support available. Someone who wants to help you is just a click away.' '4. Try to keep yourself safe for now.' and '5. Spend some time thinking about what your reasons for living might be.'. The Grassroots okay sign is faded in the background'.]

[Image description: the photo shows four flower pots on a window ledge. They each have a peg and a name attached. Trees can be seen out the window. The quote at the top of the image in dark blue text reads "Today I decided not to put the news on when I got up, but instead enjoyed the beautiful day in the garden and planted some seeds. I also did some laps around my garden- doing this made me feel stress free".]

We are sharing this excellent post we found on Blurt Foundation's page. Underneath is their original text as they've put it wonderfully! ❤️
Even on the terrible days, the days where seemingly nothing has gone right, there are usually tiny things that we're thankful for, like a song that we love, a particularly delicious orange, our houseplant putting out a new leaf, the sun came out for half an hour. These tiny things make the rubbish stuff feel slightly easier to bear. 🎨 Veronica Dearly
[Image description: A photo of a deep blue sky, with some fluffy white clouds, and a rainbow. In the centre of the photo is an illustration of large pink heart with a white banner wrapped around it. Black text on the banner says: 'Grateful for all the tiny things that are kind of O.K. right now.' The artist of this amazing image is @veronicadearly]

Even on the terrible days, the days where seemingly nothing has gone right, there are usually tiny things that we're thankful for. This could be a fave song, spending time with a pet, or seeing the sunshine.
What small things are you grateful for? ❤️

Today we are debunking the myth that thinking about suicide is rare and unusual. Thoughts of suicide do not discriminate and 5% of us will consider suicide in any year.
It is important to be alert to the possible warning signs someone may be having thoughts of suicide ❤️ https://t.co/0eEiGbDJpO
