(Sry for not posting lately. I haven’t been doing great and yeah. Have a great day!)

*TW: sh (self harm) and suicidal thoughts are mentioned in this story. Please talk to someone if you need help. I’m also always here to talk if you want.*

“Only a call away” is so many farther than people think when they say it or hear it. What most people don’t understand is how hard it can be (mentally) to “just call” someone. It takes effort to admit you aren’t okay and that you need help. It takes trust to say it to someone who should and can help. It is important to tell people how you are truly, but people don’t understand how impossible it seems to just say “I need help.” For some people, they could be trying to say that they need help, but all that comes out it “I’m doing well, how about you?” People don’t realize how hard it is to just text or call or even just accept that they need help. It takes strength to accept you need help and reach out to someone. Why do you think so many people relapse? Why do you think the suicide statistics are so damn high? Yes, of course there are other factors, but god damn it isn’t “just a call”. Hotlines are great, but it they aren’t always “only a call away”.

**_(Please don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for help, it’s hard, I know, but so many people care about you and your health. If you need help, please, tell someone.)_**
