Playing Oppression Olympics is truly horrible. However, the one thing that might give it a run for it’s money in the sub-human activity category, is calling it when it’s not there.

Oppression Olympics-

1. Using Group A as a reference point or a comparison to Group B.
2. Comparing the oppression…

Disclaimer: I am not a psychologist or a health professional. I am a teenager who knows what it is like to suffer through this and who wants to help share some tips and tricks that helped me through the worst phases of my depression.

The most important thing is to talk to someone. Preferably, a responsible adult or a health professional. However, waiting lists for Psychologist, Psychiatrists and or mental health experts tend to be very long. And of course, they can not help you every minute of every day. If you are a teenager, talk to your guardian or parent. These people love you and want to help you through anything. If for whatever reason you do not feel comfortable talking to them, there are Call Centres, your teachers, your close friends. Lots of people are there for you, you just need to spot them.

The second most important thing is to avoid temptation. Recognise your weaknesses and stay away from them. Avoid the kitchen, the medicine cabinet, the DIY cupboard, what you think is most dangerous for you.

I realise, however, that if you are have recurring or continuous suicidal thoughts, it isn’t practical or possible to avoid these areas constantly and constantly be in contact with people. These are tips and tricks I find helpful to help combat the thoughts.

1. Switch from “Goodbye” to “See You” Then mentally keep note of who you said “See you” too. This is a promise to that person that you will see them again. You can make this into a promise to yourself that you will stay around long enough to see them again. 
2. Make a List of the People who Care About You Write it down and carry it around with you. Every time you have the smallest suicidal thought, look at this list of people who want you to stay around. Likewise, you can make a list of people you care about, a list of everyone you don’t want to hurt.
3. Procrastinate Tell yourself that you’ll wait five minutes, ten minutes, an hour, before you kill yourself. Tell yourself you’ll watch a movie first, or read a book, or scroll a bit further down Tumblr. Yeah. THIS IS ME GIVING YOU PERMISSION TO PROCRASTINATE. The urge does fade with time, and this is my fall back trick.
4. Make Lists of Your Favourite Things Ice cream, chocolate, roller coasters, whatever it is. Carry that around, too. These are lists of things you want to experience again, and a promise to yourself you’ll be around to experience them.
5. Exercise Exercise makes your brain release endorphins, which are chemicals nicknamed “The happy drug.” Releasing them makes you happy, basically. Also, if you do them outside, you are absorbing sunlight, which also helps release endorphins. Find your favourite sport and get out there and do it. (P.S. Sex also counts and that has its own benefits too)
6. Eat Chocolate Remus Lupin knew what he was doing when he gave Harry chocolate. Chocolate releases endorphins, especially Serotonin which is an anti-depressant. YAY chocolate. You only need to eat small amounts for this to work.
7. Meditate Sit still, close your eyes, think about happy stuff. It really is that simple. Meditation works best if you’re only feeling lower levels of suicidal thoughts so you actually have the ability to concentrate.
8. Use Worksheets I love these. They’re simple, can be carried anywhere, easy to use, etc. Writing things down means you’re thinking about them and subconciously processing them. The 3 Ds, One to Fill Out and carry around, A Safety Plan, Wallet Sized Safety Plan, Commitment to Life Contract, STOPP cards for dealing with situations, Five Pages on Coping With Suicidal Thoughts, MANY, MANY MORE (AN: These are resources made by and used by health professionals and experts)
9. Sleep On It Try and sleep. It stops the thoughts, clears your mind and reduces stress.

I CANNOT stress how important it is to seek professional help if you are experiencing suicidal thoughts. These are just tools to use between appointments.

You ARE beautiful. I care. Your friends and family care. You deserve to be here just as much as the next person.

Stay with us.

Please reblog to spread the word you guys. Seriously - this sort of thing is exactly what some people out there need. They might be your followers, people who stop by your blog for a scroll, or maybe it could even be you - I don’t know.

But please, please, please be a hero to someone and save their life by spreading this post to every corner of tumblr.

Have them stay with us.

Only reason why I haven’t done it, well can’t. Self-preservation instinct always takes over.
