IMPORTANT Public Service Announcement!!! · 4:28am January 6th
My longtime followers know that many of my earlier stories were based on my mental state of mind, specifically my bouts with suicidal thoughts. Due to these thoughts being there, there that's how Dark Sunset, Muted Wubs and the early entries of the SciTwi Shimmer Chronicles came about.
With all that said, I had an episode today that sent me back to that mindset. I don‘t know what triggered it, mind you, but I remember the feeling I was having vividly. It was the exact same feeling I had back in May 2022 when I was nearly successful in taking my own life then. Realizing what was going on, I quickly got in touch with Crisis Assistance, a.k.a. Suicide Prevention Hotline. It took an hour and a half but I was finally calm enough to hang up.
Not all stories are this quick. I once spent nearly six hours on the phone with Crisis Assistance which resulted in a welfare check by the State Troopers.
So if you have a feeling of hopelessness and think there is no one who cares, remember this: someone out there does care, even if it‘s a stranger on the other end of a telephone call.
