      TW: deep despair, ideation of self harm

       

      One time I was messaging with someone who was in a crisis and they said something like

       

      “I don’t have the will to live” and I said something like

      “when you hold your breath what happens next?”

      They said

      “I don’t know, you run out of oxygen?”

       

      And I said “whether you hold your breath a long time or a short time, when you hold your breath different feelings will occur…

       

      You may feel pressure in your throat

      You may feel tightness in your ribs

      You may feel burning in your lungs

      You may look around  to see if anyone is noticing

      You may feel restless

      You may feell confusion about what’s happening (even tho you chose it)

       

      These are all feelings and you may think aboit each or some of them too

       

      But what HAPPENS NEXT is always: you breathe again”

       

      ❤️ And i think that’s true in life, too

       

      Lots of things can cross your mind and be felt and thought and feelings and thoughts can cycle with one anotherr almost perpetually

       

      But what HAPPENS NEXT IS your body

       

      does what it needs to in order to keep you going

       

      Sometimes, your body needs you to follow its cue,

      Instead of asking IT to follow your feelings or your thoughts

       

      Be well, my friends

      ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

       

      You are loved 🥰

      Take a breath

      … And another

      I’m being told that the Save The Dream Ohio program will pay past due mortgage up to present date (to bring you current), then 6 additional months of mortgage, so long as the total does not exceed hundred thousand dollars. Waiting on verification of this, and will post here when verified. I had previously heard they only assist with past due mortgage.

      Understanding and Addressing Racial Disparities in Health Care by David R Williams, Ph.D., M.P.H. and Toni D. Rucker, Ph.D., archived in the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Great article (research summary). While the data compiled is now over twenty years old, the conclusions and recommendations still hold as best practices for addressing racial disparities in health care.

      This article is out-dated. The Freestore Food Bank now updates pantry locations using the following shared Google Map of Local Food Pantries.
