To Write Love On Her Arms
Time is running out for us to vote in order to help TWLOHA--To Write Love On Her Arms--win $1 million to establish an online crisis intervention service. (I believe the deadline is Friday.) You can read about it and click to vote by going to TWLOHA's website here. I also invite you to watch the Miley Cyrus video below which encourages you to vote to help out this great nonprofit that does amazing, life-saving work in suicide prevention.

It's National Suicide Prevention Week
I thought this was timely. It's National Suicide Prevention Week here in the US, September 9 through September 15. You can get more information at www.healthyminds.org. Another website that you may have seen has a suicide prevention page, http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/, that starts out like this: If you are thinking about suicide...read this first. Then there's www.hopeline.com, with the 1-800-SUICIDE hotline some of us helped save last year. They're still taking donations, if anyone who's interested wants to log on there. When you call 1-800-SUICIDE, you are connected with a certified crisis center in your area. But, if you want a handy clearinghouse-sort of site, here's one that lists many crisis hotlines: http://suicidehotlines.com/
I am having my good moments, but not whole good days yet. I'm feeling impatient. I hope it doesn't take the full month I was warned about for this medication to take affect. Thanks for hanging in there with me.
