Support can make a huge difference when someone is hitting a rough patch. Why wait until then to let your friends know you'll be there? Take a stand for Mental Health Awareness and tag someone you care about to let them know you have their back. ‪

no one will notice or miss me once i’m gone

Today is the 5th anniversary of not exiting this life, and I am so happy I did not go through with it. Life is amazing, and I am so grateful for all of the love, lessons, opportunities, blessings, changes etc that I am still here to experience.

This is also the first year this anniversary has not bothered me, it is now just another day, but a day worth remembering how far I have come in these five years.

2018. 2023.

suicide tw

i wrote this anon fic months ago, but i finally feel like i want to share it here. though i probably won't take it out of the anonymous collection at all. i do not care if it doesn't get that big of a reach here. i completely understand. it's already gotten a decent amount of interaction anyway. i just wanted to get it off my chest i guess.

putting it under the cut for those still interested I guess.

please do not read if you are sensitive to the topic of suicide. i am serious.

well if you're so sure, here it is. enjoy the pain.

CW: trans death

I don’t usually post about losing our trans siblings but Eden Knight, a popular Twitter user, is being ignored by media. Her story seriously deserves more coverage. Eden was a young Saudi trans woman living in the U.S. until yesterday. Her family hired a popular Heritage Foundation-backed “fixer,” Michael Pocalyko, who arranged for her to undergo forced detransitioning. His associates trapped her in D.C. through financial coercion and threatened her with her undocumented status. She couldn’t take it anymore after a month of this treatment. She left a heartbreaking note that has been shared on Twitter thousands of times. The popular phrase “death before detransition” isn’t an exaggeration.

Not only was Eden influential in her own right but her story shows how the broader landscape of anti-trans fundamentalist organizing reaches across borders, religions, and ideologies. If you’re in media, please consider writing about her story. Her family has now confirmed all of it. Her family just confirmed everything. Unlike many posthumous trans narratives, she left us with information about exactly who/what killed her and how it happened. I’ve been in touch with her partner, who is as shocked about this information as we are. This dehumanizing treatment needs to end immediately. We are using #JusticeForEden and #HerNameWasEden for more information.

Update: Eden’s friends have compiled everything about her abduction in one place.

If you struggle with substance abuse but not addiction, you still deserve support. If you struggle with suicidality/self harm urges but don't act on it, you still deserve support. If you struggle with psychosis and paranoia but have insight, you still deserve support. If you struggle with anything but are "coping with it," you still deserve support.

You dont need to be in imminent crisis to get help - safety planning, harm reduction, resources, and accommodations. You're still struggling. You're still suffering, You're still at risk/in danger. You deserve better - you need better. Your health and wellbeing matters.

I wish they taught a class on what being a normal human is like

Like, the normal amount of pain is zero. The normal amount of wishing you weren't ever born is zero. Food isn't supposed to itch or hurt*. Going numb (any time outside sitting in one position too long) isn't normal. Passing out isn't normal. Normal people take like 10-20 minutes to fall asleep, and sleep like 6-9 hours. You're supposed to get one period a month, which is manageable with a few tampons or pads a day and lasts 3-6 days.

These are all things I had to find out later, like a moron.
