#crisis text line

[icarus-suraki]

September is International Suicide Prevention Month.

Unfortunately, given current trends on a lot of social media, the word "suicide" has become a Bad Word and people have resorted to using ridiculous newspeak like "sewer slide" and "self-unaliving" to appease the algorithms and the censors.

But this is Tumblr. We can say words like "suicide" here. And I'm going to say it

Suicide Hotline (US): 988

Text-based suicide hotline hotline: 741-741 (Text CONNECT to begin a conversation)

International Suicide Hotlines: Argentina: 54-0223-493-0430 Australia: 13-11-14 Austria: 01-713-3374 Barbados: 429-9999 Belgium: 106 Botswana: 391-1270 Brazil: 21-233-9191 Canada: 1-833-456-4566 (toll free) Canada, French-speaking: 1-866-277-3553 (1-866-APPELLE) Canada, text-based: 45645 (only available 4pm-midnight) *Canada will begin using the 988 hotline number on November 30 2023 China (Mainland): 852-2382-0000 Hong Kong: 2389-2222 Costa Rica: 606-253-5439 Croatia: 01-4833-888 Cyprus: 357-77-77-72-67 Czech Republic: 222-580-697 OR 476-701-908 Denmark: 70-201-201 Egypt: 762-1602 Estonia: 6-558-088 Finland: 040-5032199 France: 01-45-39-4000 Germany: 0800-181-0721 Greece: 1018 Guatemala: 502-234-1239 Holland: 0900-0767 Honduras: 504-237-3623 Hungary: 06-80-820-111 Iceland: 44-0-8457-90-90-90 India Self Harm Hotline: [phone] India Suicide Helpline: 022-27546669 Israel: 09-8892333 Italy: 06-705-4444 Japan: 3-5286-9090 Latvia: 6722-2922, 2772-2292 Malaysia: 03-756-8144 Singapore: 1-800-221-4444 Mexico: 525-510-2550 Netherlands: 0800 0113 (website: www.113.nl ) New Zealand: 4-473-9739 New Guinea: 675-326-0011 Nicaragua: 505-268-6171 Norway: 47-815-33-300 Philippines: 02-896-9191 Poland: 52-70-000 Portugal: 239-72-10-10 Puerto Rico: 787-763-7575 OR 1-800-981-0023 (toll free) Russia: 8-20-222-82-10 Singapore: 1800-221 4444 Spain: 91-459-00-50 South Africa: 0861-322-322 South Korea: 2-715-8600 Sweden: 031-711-2400 Switzerland: 143 Taiwan: 0800-788-995 Thailand: 02-249-9977 Trinidad and Tobago: 868-645-2800 Ukraine: 0487-327715

These are phone number for people who are at risk for suicide. Not "sewer slide" not "self-unaliving" not "self-exiting." Yes, the idea can be upsetting, but it needs to be confronted under its real name: suicide. These numbers are for suicide prevention and September is International Suicide Prevention Month.

Please update and amend this post as might be needed!

Mental Health Article Series: You Are Not Alone

It is often said that we never know what battle someone is fighting based on the chapter we walk into their lives. This is especially true when it comes to mental health. Someone can appear to have it all together while silently battling their inner demons. It is important to spread the message that no one is alone in their struggles. While others may not be going through the same thing, they can…

I actually wouldn’t recommend the crisis text line 741741 because during the research I did while I was considering volunteering there I found out that it’s run by a for profit company that collects information from you, the volunteers and staff are treated like dogshit, and the training they give to the volunteers appears to be inadequate.

If you are in crisis in the US and cannot speak the national suicide hotline has a chat service on its website. Local hotlines may also have similar services.

It's 1:10 am and I want to kill myself. Depression is taking over me. All the people that I help seem to be absent when I need them the most.

you deserve the help that you are lacking. but know this: no one else, in their infinite love, can yet choose for you to live long enough to receive it. but you can. so do.

Gosh yes, your tags on that last post. Like, I don’t blame people for liking Viren, for enjoying his character, for finding him sympathetic (or attractive, even if I personally don’t). He’s a compellingly written character! But don’t be offended if people hate him or find him evil… he’s the villain, that’s literally his role in the story

"How dare this villainous character do villainous things" / "how dare the protagonist get narratively rewarded for making good choices" like do y'all even hear yourselves sometimes, y'know?

especially when - and i cannot stress this enough - tdp is for children and will ultimately have a happy ending. this isn't a grown up drama or tragedy or even a grimdark fantasy by any means. it's a hopepunk high fantasy story. people who further retaliation and violence and push people into inherently defensive positions are the 'bad guys'

like i love viren! i think he's very well written and interesting. he's a great examination of how we can lie to and martyr ourselves in a search for security that is also about status & wanting to feel special, about the harm done when trying to win a rigged system rather than solidarity in tearing a system down and making a new one. i appreciate his dry/deadpan sense of humour. he's also one of two primary antagonists in the first 3 seasons. and like, all that can coexist? it's multifaceted character writing? we all presumably passed grade 10 english class?

i also cannot emphasize the importance of being able to separate audience reaction or response from what a piece of art is actually doing or saying enough. "this story is bad because it was personally upsetting to me" without examples given or analyzed it is not well, analysis, it's just a currently very unfounded opinion. and sometimes stories are supposed to be personally upsetting, so like. you also gotta know your lanes

it's why subjective analysis is very useful but learning structural (objective) analysis is arguably more important. something can be structurally pretty weak but very enjoyable (frozen). something can be abysmal enjoyment wise but very structurally solid (1984, which i'd argue isn't meant to be enjoyed, either). and it's important to know the difference if you want to write actual analysis rather than opinion based stuff. analysis isn't necessarily better than opinion based pieces but analysis is more expansive because it can cover the subjectivity and the objectivity and more. which is precisely why i can read "the iliad" and think "wow that was good" but if i wanted to write an essay on it i'd have to do a lot more thinking because i'm demanding something greater of that artistic experience by virtue of wanting to expand on it

a lot of people take "art for art's sake" as a statement regarding the fact that art - which is inherently symbolic in its construction, even in what meaning we construe to words themselves - doesn't have to mean anything and fighting back claims that art should mean something. but i think of "art for art's sake" is more worthwhile to examine under the lens of "this art doesn't exist for the sake of capitalist consumption, but amid it, or sometimes precisely in spite of it" and like. very few things artistically have zero meaning precisely because meaning is also "what was the reasoning behind this" and if there is none (think a tattoo you got "just because") that's typically a subjective reflection of the creator and still indicative of their personality. sometimes the meaning is meaninglessness (nihilism is still a creation in response to us searching for meaning, after all)

i'm getting into the weeds now but the point is that there's definitely been an upswing in recent years of people thinking opinions = analysis and while that often is the case (particularly if that opinion is expanded upon enough to be grounded in the text and the text's context) it absolutely is not as often actual analysis as people think it is

During the holidays it can be stressful. It can be overwhelming. You can feel in a dark and lonely place. You are not alone. You are not a burden. You are worthy of help and of peace. There are those who are there to help you 24/7. Please reach out. I honestly wish I had the words to comfort all those I have seen feeling low, but I suck at that due to my own Asperger's. So I always offer this number to people so they can talk to someone who will, because I care but know I'm not equipped. I'm always here to listen though, to anyone.

#You are not alone #You are worthy #You are not a burden #You matter #mental health #crisis text line #Reach out #get help #People care #you are valid #you are awesome #you deserve peace #you deserve nice things #you deserve love

Embracing the Roller Coaster: It's Okay to Have Bad Days

Life is an unpredictable journey filled with ups and downs, and our mental health is no exception. Sometimes, we fall into the trap of thinking we should constantly be happy and content. However, it’s essential to remember that experiencing bad days is a normal part of being human. In fact, it’s okay to have bad days. Acknowledge Your Emotions: Accept that bad days are a natural part of your…

Been reading svsss fanfic and fan content for nearly two years now and I gotta say I am appalled by the lack of diety bros!sqq and sqh.

Like, we don't have nearly enough creator deity sqh anyway (the feral ones are e x q u i s i t e) but I haven't seen any where sqq is on the same level!

Consider: at one point in the past sy, in full hater inglory, starting (accidentally or otherwise) a full scale fan war over pidw. Trolls rampaging through comment sections, toxic ship wars spilling into social media sites and trending for days, streams of hate mail, attempts at doxxing poor sqh even. It culminates in the crashing of the entire site he posts on, obliterating the chapter he was working on and the site admins banning his work.

For the days it takes for him to get it put back up with his account unsuspended sqh suffers, and he almost successfully gets peerless cucumbers account terminated for starting it until he realises that pc jumped right back to paying for chapters and extra content like he was doing even in the final days of the war. Like he never did anything. Yeah, like he'll be forgetting that username any time soon.

Skip to the final chapter, and the fan war has calmed down, and actually benefitted sqh in the long run by giving pidw such a huge cultural platform. He posts, sy responds with the most scathing vitriol he's ever commented (having successfully pressed send before his body gave out) with allusions to another fan war surely brewing, and sqh jumps from his chair in fury and terror - he's on complete burnout, he hasn't got anything left to give, he can't afford to go through that again -

Trips, spills, the ramen gets everywhere. Killed by his own sparking computer, he dies before he sees the files corrupt, the entirety of pidw corroding away into terabytes of faulty static.

They both die within minutes of each other, sqh, the creator of pidw -

And sqq, who destroyed it.

#I just think that'd be incredible to read #I love healthy cuplane but sometimes I just think they aren't vicious enough #The parallels in the book are already close enough #It'd just take a couple small adjustments and BAM #barely an au but so feral #Yin yang connection where sy is the great evil with a genuinely kind personality hidden away #And sqh the great creator who scurries around helping people out who might stone his favourite oc to death with his bare hands #Sqh holds the most sincere hatred for pc for the longest time and vice versa but then they meet in pidw #And it's been long enough that a screaming match venting it all cleanses most of the active loathing #I'd like to think they end up getting along and feeding each others diety complexes when they discover #Their influences in regard to the world remain #Also I am in desperate need of a Ultimate Regress Forms where sqh is all lines of code and sqq is made of error messages and glitching stat #No one in svsss would have any idea what they were looking at #It'd be so delicious #If you want to go extra angsty: yqy seeing and realising sj has been taken away but being helpless against what replaced him #Lbh having weird dreams hearing them talking together like the Minecraft people end scene #Mbj would of course both find it hot and have a full crisis of hierarchy if he found out #Sqh: glowing from behind eyes blank text streaming behind him I WEAVE THE THREADS OF REALITY TO MY WHIM #Sqq: movements lagging behind sound of static face glitching horribly SUCKS FOR YOU I HAVE A BIG PAIR OF SCISSORS THEN #svsss #scum villain's self saving system #scum villain #shen yuan #cumplane #shang qinghua #moshang #bingqiu #shen qingqiu
