Diese Zahlen lassen mich momentan nicht los.
Vor ein paar Tagen war ich auf dem Weg vom Geburtstag meiner besten Freundin nach Hause. In mir noch die Wärme der Atmosphäre der Bar, in der wir feierten. Doch auf dem Heimweg durch diese kalte, stille Winternacht schoben sich andere Gedanken in den Vordergrund.⬇️

1/2 💟 Holidays and #MentalHealth: Reaching Out
The #holidays can be joyful—and they can be incredibly hard.
For many, this season brings grief, loneliness, or the unexpected weight of memory. These struggles can affect anyone: your friends, your co-workers, your neighbors. Your family.
I live with clinical #depression, and I've lost a family member to suicide. I know how real—and how silent—that pain can be.
But I also know this truth: Help is out there, and you are not alone.

EDIT: The federal government announced Tuesday it was ending the suicide-prevention counseling service hotline 988 for LGBTQ+ youth on July 17. Details in thread part 2

The specialized suicide-prevention counseling service for LGBTQ youth and young adults received more than 1.3 million contacts since it started in 2022, advocates said.
@paul For those wondering, the LGBTQ+ crisis services in question were provided in partnership with the Trevor Project. The Trevor Project is committed to keeping their crisis hotline open, even if funds are cut, but they need our financial assistance!

![Das Bild ist ein quadratisches Sharepic mit einem kräftigen, dunkelroten Hintergrund. Im Zentrum des Bildes befindet sich eine große, schwarze Trauerschleife. Der Text ist in weißer, serifenloser Schrift oberhalb und unterhalb der Schleife platziert.
Der Text lautet: „198 Menschen pro Woche begehen Suizid, mindestens 5 davon sind Personen, die trans sind. Diese Statistik ist ein Mahnmal gegen das Patriarchat. Der Hass, der online und offline gesät wird, trifft jene am härtesten, die sich den normativen Zwängen widersetzen.
[Symbol der Trauerschleife]
Wir kennen nicht immer das „Warum“, aber wir kennen die Strukturen: Angst, Isolation und Gewalt. Wir müssen eine Gesellschaft schaffen, in der es keinen Mut erfordert, eine Person zu sein, die trans ist, sondern eine sichere Realität ist. Hass tötet.“](https://media.troet.cafe/troet.cafe/media_attachments/files/115/923/051/264/957/958/original/46e1837d047d8ef0.png)
