These instructions were more useful than most of the wisdom people offered about self-destructive behavior. This shrink understood that my disease was also an attempt to make something happen.

Nah mate, having made self-destructive behavior and self-hatred my default response and state ever since I was a kid has truthfully fucked me up for life. Like, therapy has helped me to be capable of getting out of this infernal cycle and staying out for months, but I always fall and get stuck for weeks on it. Now, after almost a month of actively fucking myself over, I'm having to get my shit together, and I hate it here. Why?!?

Then you will be free of this nonsense, this pain you make for yourself.

Broken mirrors are bad luck.

I used to break mirrors on sight Throw my fists across the shiny glass And let the blood colour my features As I stared at my shattered reflection Now they crack as I walk by A sharp splintering sound That makes me turn and look into The fragments of my existence Compiling the mosaic Of all that I am.

When life gives you lemons, just eat them. Anaphylactic shock will end your misery.

Civilization today reminds me of an ape with a blowtorch playing in a room full of dynamite.

The urge to just swallow a bunch of random pills every day before I go to bed, just to see if something is bad enough to kill me, is very strong.

It's like I manipulate myself into misery and I can't do anything about it.

 i find it hard to look at myself in the mirror. 

i cry myself to sleep just thinking about it. 

i am desperately yearning for a time when i won’t.

Még mindig törődöm. Még mindig féltelek. Féltelek saját magadtól, mert tudom, hogy mennyire önpusztító ember vagy.

Remélem jól vagy..

As for sacrificing myself, that's done. I'm a man utterly ruined and would cut my throat to-morrow for the sake of my relations, if I cared enough about them. I know my own condition pretty well. I have made a shipwreck of everything, and have now only got to go down among the breakers.

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

#cw: suicidal ideation #cw: suicide #cw: self harm #cw: mental health #cw: depression #i made the balloon the main representation of my self destructive urges for a reason but im not going to explain it #i tried to keep a lot of the details in this vague #it would be my worst nightmare if this comic encouraged someone to hurt themselves #so. please dont #for a long time even the thought of making this comic felt so insipid and narcissistic #with the state of the world as it is #having the only threat to your life be yourself felt so privileged and trite and shameful #but doing this comic made me sit down and process things in full #and im just. very grateful i didn't give in to my thoughts back when i sincerely felt i'd be more useful to the world dead #i also feel the need to say that this wont represent everyone's battle with mental illness. its unfortunately different for all of us #there is no fix-all #and im afraid this might be one of those comics that either resonates a lot or misses the target by a mile #i made it for myself foremost. and now that its done im glad i did it #thank you for reading #and please stay alive #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics

What Should You Do If Someone Tells You They Are Thinking About Suicide?

First, remember that suicide is almost always an impulsive decision, and it can be prevented if the person gets immediate treatment. Second, don't leave the person alone. Keep them talking, let them know you care about them and give them someone to call for help. Third, try not to make any promises to the person as they will most likely break those as well. Fourth, encourage them to seek outside professional help such as a hotline or psychiatric hospitalization-inpatient program which usually requires a referral from a physician who knows the individual well enough to feel comfortable making this recommendation.
