TWLOHA

"To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, self-injury, and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery."

I have a tattoo that means love on my wrist. To show my support for others and for my sis. It's the last text she ever sent me. <3 u 2 That meant love from her.

This week is National Suicide Prevention Week. Tomorrow, the 10th, is National Suicide Awareness Day.

We all know someone who is affected by mental health disorders of some type. We all know someone who lives with depression, anxiety, suicidal tendencies and thoughts. I ask that you take a moment of your day, just a moment, to smile at someone you wouldn't necessarily smile at, pray (if that's your thing like me) for people who live with these battles, show someone you care.

Somehow, someway, be kind. Not that you aren't already...I only have kind friends, but something extra. Go outside of your comfort zone to let someone know that you care. Let them know that they aren't alone in the world. I'm not suggesting everyone get a tattoo on their arm...although, seriously...how cool would that be?!

Depression, anxiety, mental health disorders, suicide, self-injury, etc...can be SO lonely! Let people know they aren't alone in this world. Not just tomorrow but especially tomorrow.

Honor those we've loved and lost to these diseases. Make them count. Make the diseases count.

There are many, many organizations that support these types of disorders and diseases. A simple google.com search will show you the way. For more information about TWLOHA please go to http://twloha.com/home.
