Dear Brian, A few days ago, I experienced on of my worst mental health days in a while.  It was such a struggle to get through the day– my mind was racing at high speed with destructive self talk, desperation and very powerful, intense suicidal thoughts. I went into “triage mode” and actively tried to … This article belongs to Letters To Brian Blog !

Dear Brian, Well, shit.  It’s difficult to know where to begin, here. Aside from my letter to you last July, it’s been a few years since I’ve written. Years!! It’s certainly not for a lack of material as in that span of time I’ve changed jobs… there was a global pandemic that shut the whole … This article belongs to Letters To Brian Blog !

Dear Brian, Sooooooo…. the dress I’m wearing in this picture is the very same dress I was wearing 3 years ago tonight. It’s what I was wearing the night I attempted suicide on July 3, 2018. It feels so surreal… because I’m astounded that somehow I’ve managed to come this far. When I didn’t succeed … This article belongs to Letters To Brian Blog !

Dear Brian, The summer is nearly over… I made it through another July.  There are a lot of “anniversaries” during the month of July that I just can’t seem to shake.  It begins with Mom’s birthday on the 1st.  Then there’s July 5th… the very last time I ever got to hug you and when … This article belongs to Letters To Brian Blog !

  Dear Brian, I really shouldn’t wait so long between letters. By the time I start to write, I have so much to say to you that I don’t even know where to begin. It all bottles up and I reach a point where it just needs to get out as quickly as possible; I … This article belongs to Letters To Brian Blog !

Dear Brian, My last letter to you was a bit of a leap of faith… I wasn’t really sure what to expect after I shared about my suicide attempt and my on-going struggle with suicidal ideation. I was a little surprised and overwhelmed at the outreach I received immediately after I posted the letter.  After … This article belongs to Letters To Brian Blog !

Dear Brian, I haven’t written you in quite a while so this is gonna be a little long-winded, I’m afraid.  Certainly not due a lack of things to say but rather a lack of knowing just how to say them.  Tomorrow will make 8 long years since I found out you had taken your own … This article belongs to Letters To Brian Blog !

Dear Brian, For the better part of the last year, I took a hiatus from the nauseating world of Facebook.  For some unknown, regrettable reason, I popped back on there a few weeks ago.  Then, just last week, following the suicides of two prominent celebrities, the internet experienced a deluge of activity surrounding the topic of … This article belongs to Letters To Brian Blog !

Dear Brian, I’ve done it again.  I’ve waited much too long to write you and now I have so much to say that I don’t even know where to begin! I need to tell you that had to say goodbye to both Bear and Bubba, my beloved cats, a few weeks ago… and only 3 days … This article belongs to Letters To Brian Blog !

Dear Brian, It’s been 2 months since my last letter to you.  I think about writing every day but haven’t been able to find the right words lately. There’s a lot to catch you up on! For starters, I had an accident a while back.  On November 5th, in the middle of a beautiful fall … This article belongs to Letters To Brian Blog !
