I saw this, and tweeted about it last night, but also wanted to link it here for posterity:

More suicide prevention hotlines than I’ve ever seen collected in one place.

This also serves as a good reminder of my birthday fundraiser for the AFSP, I’m in the US so that is what I would direct people who want to help me celebrate or say thank you for running this site over the years, but if you aren’t in the US, I totally get wanted to support something local for you as well, so here’s a list of suicide prevention resources all over the world. If you want to support my birthday wish to raise money for suicide prevention but do it in your own country, please do. Then come back and let me know that you did. That will mean as much as anyone donating or sharing my fundraiser.

And, since I know this is a pretty financially difficult time for many of you, if you aren’t able to make a donation, but still wish to do something to make my birthday a bit better, other than wishing me a happy birthday on social media tomorrow, share a post from here to your own network, and let them know there are other survivors out here.

I would say the reasons are the same for survivors as well. Healing requires taking responsibility for your actions going forward, and no longer having the “victim” excuse, and that identity can become so ingrained that it’s hard to let go of. I think this is a big area of struggle for any survivors who…
