‼️🚨CONTENT WARNING: MENTAL ILLNESS/SUICIDE🚨‼️

It’s been 465 days since that day. This incident was the catalyst for me to get diagnosed bipolar/ADHD and properly medicated. I’m so thankful I failed. And I hope this comic helps ❤️
I tried to kill myself two weeks ago. I stopped and drove myself to a crisis center. It was a latch ditch effort to save my life. I was so anxious and afraid of judgement. But I was met with compassion and understanding. (We see Meg sitting next to a person with cool ass tattoos and blue hair) “do you like anime?” They say. I continue: we talked about reasons I wanted to live and made a “safety plan” for next time I felt suicidal. I went home shaken but no longer wanting to die. I was told my family what happened. I was terrified to actually be honest but they have all been so kind. Depression is a deadly disorder you can’t outsmart and you can’t fight alone. I am here today because I asked for help. You are loved and don’t have to suffer in silence.

I'm reading Ursula Le Guin's Steering the Craft and it's full of gems, even for nonfiction #AcademicSky writing.

"A skill is something you know how to do. Skill in writing frees you to write what you want to write. It may also show you what you want to write. Craft enables art."
A skill is something you know how to do. Skill in writing frees you to write what you want to write. It may also show you what you want to write. Craft enables art. There's luck in art. And there's the gift. You can't earn that. But you can learn skill, you can earn it. You can learn to deserve your gift. I'm not going to discuss writing as self-expression, as therapy, or as a spiritual adventure. It can be these things, but first of all - and in the end, too - it is an art, a craft, a making. And that is the joy of it. To make something well is to give yourself to it, to seek wholeness, to follow spirit. To learn to make something well can take your whole life. It's worth it.
