Those who saw and survived the pain, misery and destruction of war in the first part of the 20th century - with millions of innocent men, women and children slaughtered with disregard and disdain amid the brutality of war - cried out in union "Never Again" 👊🏾💚 (1/)
Yet when politicians and powerful business interests sat in comfortable chairs on comfier salaries in distant offices, decide to impose war on the masses - it is not them but the children and loved ones of working people who are compelled to make the ultimate sacrifice. (2/)
There have been just and necessary wars. Those from every culture, every religion and every background gave their lives to push back the monstrosity of fascism in the hope of lasting peace - the sanctity of which we must preserve. (3/)

Saving a life can start with a conversation. A message to a friend who may be struggling, with:

"Are you OK? I'm here for you."

Retweet this to #BreakTheSilence

Reach out, and share. If this gets 50k retweets, I will dress as a 🍕 slice for 7 days straight!

We live in a society where stigma keeps many people from seeking help & treatment for themselves and stops others from talking about it. We need to change the culture around mental health & suicide, look out for one another, show compassion & have each others backs. Always!
I personally know that a simple message to someone who is struggling can literally save their life. So if you know of anyone whether that be a friend, colleague or someone else that may be feeling down or distressed please reach out.

@CDCgov releases mortality rates at the end of every year. Importantly, the #suicide rate in the US last year was 47,173—up from 44,965 suicide deaths in 2016 and 44,193 in 2015. (THREAD) #SPSM
@CDCgov To some extent, this comes as no surprise: the suicide rate has been rising steadily for the past 2+ decades. We knew that. What *is* surprising is the jump in the number of suicide deaths in 2017; according to government records, this is the sharpest increase in 50 years. #SPSM
Something has to be done. The #suicide prevention field has proven itself useless (thus far). Despite our best efforts, the rates continue to rise. We have to change EVERYTHING. #SPSM

This week @10DowningStreet announced the appointment of the UK’s first Minister for Suicide Prevention – a monumental move for CALM, everyone in this movement, and, importantly, everyone in the UK. Here's why, and how we got here. THREAD 👇
Around 6,000 lives are lost to #suicide in the UK every year. 76% of those are male, which makes suicide the biggest killer of men under 45.
Suicide has a huge emotional impact – on families, communities and on society as a whole. Government figures estimate the cost of each suicide at £1.67 million, but we know the real cost is the devastation each and every suicide leaves behind.

For those struggling with mental illness and suicide.

#WorldSuicidePreventionDay #mentalhealthmatters #indigenerds4hope #tomorrowneedsyou #thereisalwayshope #suicideprevention
My name is Johnnie Jae, I'm from the Otoe-Missouria & Choctaw tribes of Oklahoma. I am the founder of @tribecalledgeek & our suicide prevention initiative #Indigenerds4Hope. I am a co-founder of @notyourmascots & @LiveIndigenous and I'm a Bi-Polar Suicide Survivor
I will struggle with mental illness and suicide for the rest of my life. It isn't easy, it's painful. I get tired, I get frustrated and I struggle but I'm also braver, stronger, wiser, patient and compassionate. I've learned to thrive and live with purpose.

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

One of the most important things we can do to fight the growing epidemic of suicide in America is talk about it. We have a really bad problem that is getting worse quickly, but we can't help people if we ignore their problems. 1/
First a few notes on the problem, and what we've learned in recent months.

A new CDC shows that the incidence of suicide in the US has risen sharply, by about 30% over the past two decades. 2/ cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/6…
In addition to veterans, more new groups are also starting to show heightened suicide risk:
- Young women businessinsider.com/us-suicide-rat…
- Black children washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-h…
- Farmers cbsnews.com/news/american-…
Most of us probably know someone who has experienced suicidal thoughts. 3/

Hello. I'm someone living with depression and there have been times where I've just wanted to end it all, to disappear, to make it stop. Here's what I want you to do instead of posting #suicide hotline numbers:
Lobby for better healthcare conditions in America. Call your representatives and ask them to support affordable and easy access to mental healthcare treatment. Stop thinking emotional people are 'weak.' Help suicide prevention volunteers get paid for helping people stay alive.
The healthcare crisis in America impacts people with mental health issues. Medicine, therapists and wellness programs are expensive without healthcare. We can't afford treatment. We don't have access to the needs and conditions that can truly help prevent suicide.

Fell into a 90s/00s #suicide anthem music loop this afternoon and it reminded me of how depressed I have been in the past and how depressed I am now, again, and how much we still don't discuss #depression in this society.

I wrote this a couple years ago.
It's a good piece on writers & suicide, with an emphasis on #LGBT suicides because we kill ourselves more (thanks #homophobia/#transphobia)than str8 people.

Society still romanticizes #depression instead of treating it.
