You are not alone. ⁣ ⁣ It’s been a week around the world. Today marks the 21st anniversary of 9/11, Britain lost their Queen and of course...Mercury is in retrograde. ⁣ ⁣ Emotions and feelings about events and outcomes impact people differently. And as the saying goes, “Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about”. ⁣ ⁣ Not all Traumas are felt first hand. You may not have even been born when 9/11 happened. But it could still have an impact on you. You may live in a country not under British rule, but have your own feelings about the monarchy that has hit you to the core. ⁣ ⁣ The thing is, secondary trauma can be have a severe impact on you just by being aware of what’s happening around you. It can take a toll on Your work, your relationships, your health...your everyday. ⁣ ⁣ It’s #worldsuicidepreventionday - so I ask you to take a moment and reach out to someone you know that could benefit from your voice. Take a moment to share a positive post that could make a difference without even knowing it did. You don’t need proof. You just need to show up. ⁣ ⁣ So, share this. Forward it. Just make it known there is help. ⁣ ⁣ And if you or someone you know is struggling, I want to remind you that there is help available. In fact, this past July in the US, 988 became the new suicide prevention hotline number giving those in crisis more direct access to support. ⁣ ⁣ Every 11 minutes in the US, someone commits suicide. And that number is much higher in other countries. No matter where...It’s one too many. ⁣ ⁣ HIListically Speaking...You are not alone. ⁣ ⁣ Be well and be kind to your mind. ⁣ ⁣ Hilary ⁣ ⁣ #hilisticallyspeaking #endthestigma #mentalhealthsupport #suicideprevention
