How I Managed not to Kill Myself Yesterday - Sam Lamott

Those of us working in suicide prevention imagine those times when people call a crisis line as fraught with anxiety, pain, hurt, and emergency. That isn't always the case. For individuals a crisis line can be a life line to support for the everyday. We could all do with that sometimes. If you are not in crisis, call one and see how long it takes to get someone. If you're having a day where you think you can't take it, call a crisis line. Colorado's Crisis Services has peer specialists so you don't have to always talk to a clinician. If your area is lacking in mental health services, call a crisis line.

They may be there for the tough, emergency, dire times. They are also there for support in other times.

By posting this piece we want to begin to bring in those voices who may not be heard. Those voices that are brave enough to share their struggle.
