Title: Suicide and Depression Triggers. Please read this
Post by: Cindy on July 04, 2013, 07:26:21 AM
Sadly we have news that a young trans*woman, one of us, decided to end her life.

Her Father told us and his heart wrenching post is available.

This may trigger thoughts and may trigger bad thoughts.

There is nothing wrong with that.

If you feel sad and if it is too much please contact the help lines and talk to professionals.

Suicide is not a good option, it solves nothing.

Please contact any GMod if you are struggling and it is getting too much.

PLEASE

Cindy - You know you can talk to me.
