This thing https://www.tumblr.com/kokobot This thing is amazing. It forced its way into my life (the best things do) and I love it. If you’re struggling with something or want to help others with their struggles, try it. It’s completely anonymous. And they have a website, too. https://www.kokocares.org/ It’s cute and fun. I like it =)
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Stereotypes:
They don’t care about how they act

Real:
They absolutely care how they act. I have a friend who suffers badly from ADHD. And he is constantly stressed because of how he often acts. He tries very hard to be “responsible” and “normal”. But it’s also very hard for him. Of course, that’s when he’s on his meds. But even when he wasn’t, we were at work, helping people, and I told him to be responsible he looked at me apologetically and said “I know, I’m trying.”

Addiction to Self-Harm
Stereotypes:
I hurt myself, therefore I’m Suicidal.
I always hurt myself using a knife.
I can stop whenever I feel like it.
~
Real:
Not everyone who hurt themselves wants to die. A lot of people hurt themselves because the just want to feel something, or it temporarily fills a hole inside them. Many because they feel like they don’t have control, and hurting themselves gives them just a little bit back.
Once I was talking to a friend who use to scratch themselves. I remember asking them if it was worth it. I don’t remember fully what they said because it was a few years ago, but it was along the lines of “If you mean it fills the emptiness inside and makes me feel normal, then yes.” They moved, so I don’t know if their answer would have changed.
My own experience, I used to forced myself to stay awake. It made me feel in control of a life I thought I had zero say in what happened. Was it worth it? Yeah. It allowed me to get over my insomnia. There was a cost, though. When my sleep schedule gets messed up, it takes weeks to repair. So would I do it again? No.
There are many ways people hurt themselves. Self harm means anything you do to intentionally sabotage yourself. This can be anywhere from burning and cutting, to something as simple as not letting yourself sleep.
Self harm can become an addiction. There’s a reason why I have Sans as Addiction to Self-Harm. Like I said above, it does something that the person likes. And it can be hard to see the downside of it. It can become an addiction. You can’t just take an addiction away. It can destroy people further.
