Usually I’d have a million words for someone in distress. Most of the time they follow along the line of “it’s okay”. But I can’t lie to you and tell you that. It’s not okay. It’s not okay at all. 

I can tell you the truth, though. Jessie left behind a life still young, and friends who loved her very much. Personally I had only began to talk to Jessie, but her passing affects us all. Even if you didn’t know her, it would mean a lot if you would take just a moment to wish her well, wherever she is.

And for the close friends - this is going to be particularly hard for you, for I know Jessie was a loving, friendly, funny, lovely, talented young lady who would always protect her friends. Although she can’t be with you physically, she’s still there, watching over you with all her love. For me, I’m trying to think of this whole event another way. In place of mourning her death, I want to celebrate her life. I want to be glad she was here, making friends and showing her spirit to all the world, doing what she could to make everyone happy. Remember that it’s okay to be upset, and it’s okay to cry, but don’t purposefully do things like going through old messages that will hurt you further. Just breathe. Jessie’s going to be missed, and even though her life was taken in the accident too soon, it’s going to be okay. I promise.

These are some hotlines if you feel the need to talk to someone, other than I or your close friends - 

Grief Support: 1-650-321-5272
 Depression Hotline: 1-630-482-9696
Self-Harm: 1-800-366-8288

Rest in Peace, Jessie. We all love you.

Okay. Okay. 

Whenever we reblog those lists of hotlines for people to call in an emotional crisis, part of me always thinks, “you know what? Talking on the phone fucking blows.”

And I’ve spoken to people mid-crisis who ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to call a number, because you know what? Talking on the phone fucking blows. IM is alright, typing things out to a faceless screen, it’s so much easier than using your voice most of the time. If only there was some sort of chat-based hotline-

There is? It’s here?!

HUZZAH!

IMAlive is an IM-based support center, run entirely by well-trained volunteers who seriously do give a shit. It’s free, it’s confidential, and it WORKS. 

If you’re hurting right now, PLEASE CLICK THE LINK.

If you’re feeling alright, but give half a damn about the people around you, SIGNAL BOOST THE FUCK OUT OF THIS.

I want everyone to know this exists. This is an option. You don’t have to be afraid.

Come and talk.

Oh this is great for people who hate 1) calling strangers and 2) hate how just talking sometimes makes you inchoherent from crying.

Typing IMS is just as cathardic as those who are okay with calling help hotlines.

This is a blog I made for those who need to rant and/or need some advice. It’s free for anyone and it’s recently up but feel free to contribute in the posts. If not, it will mainly be my posts/rants. Submit is up and so is Anonymous if you wish to keep secret.

Please keep this circling, because you never know if someone could use the support tonight. 

Thank you. c:
