Video 1 of 2. This is from the other night on one of the last few days of #suicidepreventionmonth but I didn’t post out of fear that I don’t look “put together.”
I have tried to condense this into 140 tweetable characters and convey a message more “put together,” but quite frankly that’s part of the problem is this desire to be polished and fixed looking enough to talk about this. Everyday should be #suicidepreventionday and #suicideawareness and I pray this helps someone who needs it. Suicide is an urgent public health problem. According to the World Health Organization more than 700,000 people die to suicide every year. That is 1 person every 40 seconds. According to the CDC, there are 312,000 emergency department visits for self harm injuries. It is one of the leading causes of death, so I will not wait until I can discuss this in some cookie cutter way. I will not water it down. I do, however, feel ready to talk about this with the compassion, sensitivity, and nuance this is deserving of. We can learn so much from each other if we just listen. Fortunately, people feel more open to talk about depression and anxiety, but suicidal ideation is extremely misunderstood and complex and understandably terrifying to talk about. So…I have food in my teeth, I look like I haven’t slept in 10 years, and I’m tired, but this has been weighing heavy on my heart for years and any fear I have of how I will come across needs to be thrown out the window; the ideology that people experiencing suicidal ideation are “attention seeking” needs to be eradicated. We don’t accuse plants of being attention seeking for needing water and sunlight. Human beings need connection and have needs that need attending to.
The Psych Times says that new research shows that reading an online story a day by someone who has struggled with suicidal ideation can reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors in others.

The most profound message I might ever receive in my entire life is from a brave man who opened up to me that he was struggling with suicidal ideation and thinking of a way to end things the other night and the last video I posted encouraged him to keep going. He gave me permission to say this because we wanted people to know how healing it is to talk about openly. His testimony is evidence of what Dr. Jill Harkavy-Friedman from The American Foundation of Suicide Prevention has found from suicide prevention research, that openly asking someone if they’re experiencing suicidal thoughts and hearing about other’s experiences reduces suicidal ideation. Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay and the team of the song “Stay” is grateful and honored to donate a portion of the proceeds from the song to American Foundation of Suicide Prevention @afspnational to help fund research. I’m not quite sure how to express the overwhelming love I received this week. I love you guys, THANK YOU to everyone who reached out and commented and supported 💕🙏🏼 I received so many messages from people this week opening up about their own history of suicidal ideation, some didn’t even tell their own family members because they didn’t want to be a burden and because of shame. People who are experiencing suicidal ideation are not “crazy” or “attention seeking” or “overreacting.” We can openly talk about it to reduce the shame, listen and understand why someone feels the way they do, fund research, and share resources.

This is forever my favorite picture of us, not much has changed. You’re 32 today but you’ll always be my baby brother and permanently 11 in my head. It was always one of Dad’s prayers that we would be best friends and take care of eachother into adulthood, and I’m glad his prayer is answered. We’ve been through it all and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love you more than could ever be expressed in an Instagram caption. You’ve always been there and I know you always will be, and I will always have your back. Also if anyone needs a great real estate agent in New York City, my brother is the best of the best! Happy biirthday @johnnydonohue!! 🥳 @the.cadillac.broker (his first word was “car” and he loves old fashioned Cadillacs) 💙💙
