Gay crisis

So I upped the decorating budget and indulged my decorating fantasies. The Suicide and Crisis Prevention Lifeline included a service that provided specialized suicide prevention support by phone and text for LGBTQ+ kids. (United States) (Canada).

And yet, the old ennui eventually crept back. That's ending.

HRC Mental Health Resources

So I got more disciplined. So what finally did the trick after two years of swimming in the dark? To access this resource, call I had:. Suicide can be prevented. I was in my early 50s so my best guess was that it probably was some kind of midlife issue.

That work led me to experiment with building something bigger than my own private practice and I started the Gay Therapy Center. I started with that great American salve: shopping. Schedule Your Free 15 min. I felt better.

It was fun and creative and a little stressful and when it was over I had an even nicer apartment but the blah feelings came back.

LGBTQ Family Acceptance Crisis

Our focus is on you, not us. So I went back to journaling and reading every midlife book I could find. I had healed childhood issues gay cleaned up most of my inner homophobia. This free and confidential* suicide crisis hotline is available by text, call, or chat 24/7 and serves LGBTQ+ young people ages across the United States.

But that only lasted for a day or two and then I was fine. I journaled and meditated every day. A couple of years ago my life looked great. Call us if you need someone trans to talk to, even if you’re not in crisis or if you’re not sure you’re trans.

Trans Lifeline Trans Lifeline’s Hotline is a confidential 24/7 peer support phone service run by trans people for trans and questioning people. Completely confidential and free LGBTQ hotline. I had already done years of personal work with therapy, workshops, reading, yoga, meditation, and watching the occasional Oprah show.

I think many of us are hesitant about getting too involved in an organization. Get immediate help 24/7/ The Trevor Project's crisis counselors are just a text, chat, or phone call away. There are a few good ones out there, but not many.

Sure, it can be annoying to go to a meeting or event after a long day of work. So here goes. The TrevorLifeline supports LGBTQ+ young people in active crisis situations and provides suicide intervention and prevention resources. I went back for a couple of sessions with my old therapist, who was now an hour and half away via a crowded highway.

What else could be wrong? I surprised myself by how much I cared about this organization once I became a crisis of it. Here is a list of LGBTQ crisis hotlines and support resources. If you or someone you know is experiencing mental health distress and/or are in crisis, support is available.

But like many of my gay brothers I am into decorating. I found it exciting and satisfying.
