Well hello there supporters of NAOYP 🙂

I get some lovely comments via facebook and some brutally honest, gut wrenching, heart breaking one’s as well.

I’m trying to create a new user account that says something to the effect of private or whatever.  A lot of people feel safe sharing things with me and would like to be able to have the balls (proverbial or otherwise) to share their secrets, their pain, their thoughts and so forth.  I think it’s important for some of these comments to be posted so that others can realize that they are:

NOT ALONE

After all that’s really the whole point of this foundation: To spread the word, awareness, hope and above all else: To help kill the stigma like the useless bitch that it is.

So on that note, please know that ANYTHING that anyone tells me is 100% confidential.  Privacy is of the utmost importance, even more so when dealing with such a touchy subject like suicide.  I take privacy and confidentially VERY seriously.  I have signed waivers and  contracts for IMAlive in the same regard.  When you are hurt and desperate for help, no one wants their pain to be splashed all over the place.

So that being said:  If there ever comes a time you would like to comment on a blog post, share your own story of survival (whether you attempted suicide and survived or have survived the death of a loved one) -or- you want to share the story of a loved one that you have lost, anonymously please feel free to do so!

All stories/memorial pages/comments sent via e-mail/facebook/twitter will be posted anonymously unless you specifically request that your name be used.  Otherwise it will not.  That’s my promise to each and every one of you.
