TW: Suicide
Thanks to a great therapist, I’ve been working on processing some of the root causes of #dissociativeamnesia in my past, specifically childhood. This has pushed me to explore, in small doses, things that are tied to these periods and recently led to a deep dive on FB

Discovering this post, I expected my typical reaction to bringing up my past which is usually a very apathetic “meh” and quickly moving on. Instead, I actually had a bit of chuckle for a few reasons. I’m very happy at this response because it means I’m starting to process…
these moments in a healthier way. Aside from finding it humorous that I’m someone’s example of a good boy gone bad, I also found the subtle story told here very interesting. The third picture of me was chosen deliberately: photos I share of me on my birthdays are always of me…
Four years ago today I lost my former fiance to suicide. If you need help, please seek it. If you think someone is in trouble, please reach out to them. We can save lives.
Tomorrow is another day.

"But Stella had a secret. She apparently never told anyone about the darkness that swirled inside her mind, about the depression that seized her soul."
So grateful for those who share their stories.

Suicide in agriculture.
We don’t talk about suicide as much as we need to, as much as we should.
It’s hard. Painful. Heart wrenching. Tragic. And scary. As I’m typing this post, my hands are shaking. /1

I’ve read studies that share farmers are 2-5x more likely to die by suicide than the general population. That’s hard. Painful. Tragic. & scary.
We need to talk about suicide more. We need to break the silence & stigma around it. We need to do more than post crisis hotlines. /2

Suicide prevention has many stages that are life saving, but more often in society mental health is only prioritized when it’s at a critical stage. There’s so much we can do early on too, as a community, you and me: /3

(1) At this stage all we know is that "a man deliberately rammed a truck into FOX 4 studios in Dallas and started ranting."
We do not know if he is genuinely left, right, or faking one of those, or this is non political and maybe psychosis is involved.
So hold your horses.

(2) The sheer speed with which political twitter is accusing this man of being a leftist is ringing alarm bells for me.
Can you wait just five minutes to find out information from the scene before you take the bait? This behavior is no better than what the other side does.

(3) Waiting a teency little bit longer is a nothing-to-lose proposition for me.
Meantime, wherever you live:
>Maintain situational awareness
>Avoid soft targets
>Avoid unnecessary risks
>Educate yourself on threats & response options.
Stop taking the bait.

We are inspired by @TalindaB's courage--and Chester's spirit. 40% of @IAVA members know a vet who's died by suicide: iava.org/campaign/comba…
Chester was a true leader in helping @IAVA's #CampaignToCombatSuicide and in our fight to pass the #ClayHuntSAV act: iava.org/savact/
Chester was gentle and thoughtful...he met thousands of vets through @linkinpark's partnerhsip w @IAVA..he was always patient and kind...
