The holidays can be hard if you’re suffering the loss of a loved one, or if you're depressed yourself. Call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) for help and support. We're here for you, 24/7.

Saturday, 11/19 is International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day. Visit www.survivorday.org to find events near you.

Survivor Day is the one day a year when people affected by suicide loss gather around the world at events in their local communities to find comfort and gain understanding as they share stories of healing and hope.

"Healing, hope and help is happening."

Read Brett's story and other stories of hope and recovery on our new website: suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

The Mighty asked members in their community who live with #anxiety to tell them one text message they’d love to receive when they’re feeling overwhelmed, and this is what they had to say.

"You're not imagining this."
