It's that time of year again. Being part of and witnessing this first hand, I need to make aware of the help that is available to you. I want everyone to know my stance will not ever change. If you need some one to talk to or just listen, I am here. You are not alone. Being a military veteran and living a very difficult life, I've learn very quickly how important mental health is. I'm not an expert but have taken many steps and courses to help myself and to be able to help others. Here are a few numbers. Please reach out... I love you all. 9-8-8: Suicide Crisis Helpline 24/7 for calls and texts, Languages: English and French Canadian Military crisis Line 1-800-268-7708 24/7 365 Canadian Mental Health 1-866-585-0445 or text WELLNESS to: 686868 for youth 741741 for adults If I can have my American brothers and sister to post some numbers that would be much appreciated ❤️
Love me some @JonPaine . He should be nominated for LG guy of the year. Seriously, life has a habit of piling on at times and at times it sucks. The best way to fight through adversity is to lean on your friends, family, and community. It's not a road I would suggest going down on your own. I've done that myself, and it's a tough way to go. There are lots of people in this community, as toxic as it/we may be sometimes, that really care about everyone else within the community when all is said and done. Reach out if you need to. This community is supposed to be an outlet, a diversion, from our everyday lives and at times, from our everyday struggles. Use it, and everyone in the community, for all it's worth. My DM's are always open if you need an ear. Happy holidays everyone, stay safe and stay strong.
Thanks for all the people like me lost someone dear to him... lost my brother 6 years ago commit a suicide and that put me a hole in my life after that
Well said Jon ! You are a well respected guy in this league and this is a big piece to why. Always reminding us about how important it is to support each other and even ask for the help when we need it. I stand with Jon and if anyone every needs to talk my DM's are always open!
Lost a lit of others as well to other causes. Have a brother and sister and two adult children left. Im numb to death anymore. My dog died and that hurt mote than most people dying. Self medication and games and Im a workaholic make me not think about these things.
Well said Jon, haven’t had the chance to play with you but I’ve heard nothing but great things! Keep being you!
@JonPaine you are a great dude.. thanks for this. I think most of yall know me well for my old gamertag known as Corndog.. but I have had my share of mental health issues. Some days are just super hard to even look at anything positive. Im very hard on myself. I feel worthless but I do know that there are people out there that will get hurt if I did anything to myself. People think they are alone but thats never true… theres people, maybe even just one or two that will really feel hurt if you gone away. I recently am getting therapy for myself because I feel it’ll help me. I continue my fight every day. Love me or hate me guys, just know i appreciate everyone on here and i promise to keep moving forward in life. Thank you
It take a strong individual to know when to ask for help, yet alone speak it out loud. Thank you for sharing and I hope it help some of those who are still scare to talk about mental health. I'm glad you are getting help and I can say it does help and get better. Be strong, much love!
