The world is going through a lot right now. I know isolation can be both a coping mechanism for me with my depression and also a coping skill. I just wanted to say that I hope everyone is ok. I love what Ganel-Lyn Condie says in this video from Hope Works. "Stay in your body!" I had an experience recently where someone close to me overdosed. When I called the suicide hotline they were so compassionate, even though I wasn't the one struggling. Ganel-Lyn brings light and understanding to those who are suffering themselves, and loved ones of those who suffer. If you are suffering, hold on. Another minute, another hour, another day. Reach out to a trusted person or call a hotline. As she suggests in the video, come up with a plan B. If you know someone who is suffering right now, reach out to them a little more during this quarantine. Don't wait. I know personally the difference a phone call or text can mean to someone who is barely hanging on. You aren't responsible for the decisions someone makes, but it goes a long way to check in with them. Stay safe everyone.
