I sure as hell know how broken you have to feel to contemplate something so initially incomprehensible. But it isn't the answer and if you feel like this today or any day, talk to someone, talk to me. There are people who care because, in this world, you answer to no one. People can wrongly judge, but do not let them to write pages in your book. This is your story and you create it, every page, every chapter, however you desire. Yes, there are cruel people in the world - but there are also people who care and will help you. Suicide doesn't end the chances of life getting worse but it definitely eliminates the possibility of ever getting better. Reach out, write and control your own story and just know you have worth, you are loved, there are people who care and you are not alone. #suicide #suicideprevention #suicideawarness #suicidequote #depression #depressionhelp #depressionawareness #depressionisreal #depressionkills #depressionandanxiety #depressionwarrior #depressionhurts #timetotalk #quotes #inspirationalquotes #motivationalquotes #quotestoliveby #lifequotes #quotesoftheday #quotesaboutlife #quotesdaily #quotesofinstagram #quotesandsayings #life #mylife #support #reachout #mikemeetslife

I'd like to think the suicide of Caroline Flack might change something for the better. It won't. The public demand their circuses, and the media do not let up until they've drained every drop of blood, sweat and tears from the most vulnerable. Fame always comes at tremendous cost. #ripcarolineflack

🖐🏻 A bit about me - but a message to you too! Never be afraid or embarrassed about being sensitive. No matter how much or how little. _ I am a highly sensitive individual, and diagnosed with hyper-sensitivity. I’m the type of person who doesn’t just listen to your words, I listen to your use of words. I notice your tone of voice, your eye movements, your body language, your hand gestures, your subtle facial expressions. I can interpret your silence well and I can hear everything you don’t say in words. _ I can walk in to a room and notice the myriad of subtleties that lie within it. People’s moods, groups getting on well, groups not getting on well. Those feeling left out and those overly confident. I notice smells, pictures that are wonky, lights on and lights off, windows open, doors shut and if I’ve been before: new things and things that have moved. _ I notice when someone removes me from social media, or ignores my friend request, or has stopped liking my posts, or likes them more often. I notice their style of text message or email changes depending on their mood. I notice whether they say hello to me or not. _ And all of it is torture because it goes through your head all the time. Minute after minute. And I become super sensitive to whether I am liked or not when really, I just shouldn’t care! BUT I want to know WHY people don’t like me, what is wrong with me, what I’ve done wrong. _ There are some people who could hear you say a thousand words and still not understand you. And there are some people who will understand you without you even speaking a word. I am the latter. _ I’m a fixer. I like people to be happy and to make people happy. I am too hard on myself or roll over too easily if I think it’s for the best. I quite often neglect myself in that way. But equally I get far too stressed, anxious or annoyed if I feel those closest to me aren’t happy anymore, despite all my efforts. Therefore, understandable criticism is sometimes hard to hear. Because I feel like I’ve failed. _ Ultimately, there’s nothing wrong with me. My heart is in the right place and if this is you too then so is yours. Sensitive people should be cherished.
