If you’re ever having thoughts about harming yourself, please call the National Suicide Hotline 1-800-273-8255. I urge you. Regardless of how light or dark they may seem, call that number and just talk to someone.

What works for me is immediately distracting myself with something. A problem that has a solution. Like a crossword puzzle, trivia games, or even watching mysteries. Sometimes I try to solve the crime before the main character does. I know these things may not work for everyone but they do wonders for me. I also watch long documentaries or theme park vlogs on youtube. Sometimes I try to put myself to sleep but also, these things kinda get me to turn my brain off. I love the Biographics channel on youtube. Tons of videos about historic figures and the host has such a nice, calming voice. I think it's his accent. Anyway, try keeping yourself busy. And just know that moments like that always pass. At the end of a dark road, there's always some sunshine. It sucks to have to endure the bad to get to the good but please, know that there is some good coming.
This sounds amazing to do I appreciate the suggestions! Thank you for the kind words!
