Step 2

Dots

I have a really fuckin’ stupid idea that worked really well for me.

Step 1. Get colored dot stickers; green, blue, and red.
Step 2. Strategically place the dots EVERYWHERE
Step 3. Identify the meaning of the dots
Green: focus on slowing and deepening your breathing
Blue: Say something nice to yourself
Red: Stop to think of something I am thankful for
Step 4. Do what the dots say…. Practice.

See, told you it was stupid, but it reminds us to calm down, be kind to ourselves, and be less anxious. What have you got to lose? Might as well give it a try.

Seconds away from death.

by Different 2/4/2013

written by Different

Today I was seconds away from ending my life. What changed my mind I still do not know.

After 10 years of SEVERE deppresion I am tired, I am tired of it all. I am exhausted.

2 years ago I gave up. After 8 years of trying I was tired of fighting and in the end i realised I am never going to feel joy again. Â I gave up hope.

I have always had suicidal thoughts for as long as I […]
