✨Some people are not suicidal because they want to die.
Sometimes they are exhausted from carrying pain that feels impossible to explain. Sometimes they are overwhelmed by loss, trauma, loneliness, financial struggles, mental illness, or life circumstances that seem never-ending.
A recent report highlighted by CNN found that nearly 1.2 billion people worldwide were living with mental disorders in 2023, a number that has almost doubled since 1990.
Anxiety and depression were among the most common conditions affecting people globally.
Behind many smiles are silent battles.
Behind many "I'm okay" responses are struggles that nobody sees.
And behind many suicidal thoughts is often not a desire to die, but a desire for the pain to stop.
Mental health challenges are more common than many people realize, and they can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, profession, faith, or social status.
Let us choose compassion over judgment.
Let us listen more.
Let us check in on one another.
Let us create spaces where people feel safe enough to ask for help.
You never truly know what someone may be carrying.
