This is the 24/7 Suicide Hotline in America. Here lately, I've read a lot of content that indicates high anxiety and depressive illnesses. The holidays are very hard for many people, and I want to create a challenge where you can hide for a moment until you get your thoughts together. You don't even have to be suicidal to call this number. I've called them during panic attacks and even general feelings of worthlessness. Please don't hurt yourself. The Prose community loves you too much to let you hurt yourself. I can't let another one of my friends be taken by self-harm and suicide. WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING THAT GIVES YOU HOPE! It doesn't have to be particularly joyful or awe-inspiring. Just write like you are speaking to someone who is fighting to survive in the crazy world.

Hang in there

Hey there. It's terrible, I know. I understand. I cannot say when this fog will lift, but lift it will. One day you will get better. Here is a Hindi couplet which keeps me going when I feel hopeless-

Aaj bura hai, Kal achcha aayega

Waqt hi to hai, Badal jayega.

Roughly it translates to-

'Today is bad, tomorrow will be good.

It is only time, after all; it will change'.

Remember, this too shall pass. Stay strong. God bless you.
