⚠️ REAL TALK… because we gotta stop being scared to talk about SU***DE. 💚
Su***de has become way too common, but what really gets me is how many people are attempting and surviving and then going right back into the world like nothing ever happened.
In 2025, an estimated 2.3 MILLION adults in the United States attempted su***de. Baby… MILLION. 😔 And those are somebody’s mama, daddy, child, sister, brother, cousin, best friend, coworker… somebody you probably talked to and had NO IDEA what they were fighting.
That’s the part people don’t understand.
Everybody with suicidal thoughts doesn’t walk around looking sad. Some of us still laugh. Still go to work. Still take care of everybody. Still post cute pictures. Still say “I’m good.” Whole time our mind is somewhere completely different.
And please stop thinking an attempt is somebody “looking for attention.” Sometimes that person really wanted the pain to STOP. Sometimes they didn’t know how to say “I need somebody.”
That’s why I’m talking about the uncomfortable stuff with Mentally Gifted. We don’t know it until it happens to us… or somebody we love.
Check on your strong friend.
Check on your funny friend.
Check on the one who suddenly got quiet.
And hell, check on the one who SWEARS they good. 💚
And if YOU are the one fighting those thoughts right now… baby, stay. Whatever today feels like, you deserve the chance to see what tomorrow can become.
Call or text 988 if you need somebody RIGHT NOW. No shame. No judgment.
Mentally Gifted 💚
We talking about the stuff folks like to whisper about.
