some thoughts on depression and suicide 

Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem.

Depression, especially for folks in the LGBT+ community, is a battle not just against yourself, but against society and the things that cause it.

It's so important to fight for yourself, but sometimes all you can do is fight *yourself* to stay alive. And sometimes you lose.

It's okay if that's how you have to go. It can be an act of reclamation vs society. But if you do, you'll be missed.

If you run out the ability to fight yourself, try to keep yourself around your friends and family who care about you. As long as you rely on others you can take a break from fighting yourself.

That's why we gotta fight this kind of thing together. Just don't judge those who lose to it.

Take care, friends.
