At age ten, my maternal grandfather started raping me. By eleven, I knew that I didnāt want to be alive anymore. I didnāt yet know the word āsuicide,ā but didnāt want to be alive.

Not everyone in this industry knows support like this exists. Help us change that, share this with someone who needs it š

@rehabahc.bsky.social"Let me know if you need anything" sounds kind, but it puts the burden on someone who may not have the bandwidth to ask. "I'll come by at 6" asks nothing of them. This World Suicide Day: show up with a plan, not just an offer.
