I did 2 walk today and some grounding outside in the grass and I just feel like crying and don't understand why it doing this to me. Good some good vitamins D with the sun. I just feel I going more down than up

This is a hard topic… but an important one. There is often a strong link between trauma and suicidal thoughts. Not necessarily because someone wants to die - but because, at times, the nervous system feels overwhelmed by what it is carrying. And this is where an important distinction matters: Thoughts are not the same as intent. Having thoughts like “I can’t do this anymore” or “I want this pain to stop” does not automatically mean someone wants to end their life. Often, it means something else entirely. An analogy that might help: Imagine you are trapped in a dangerous building. There is smoke. It feels overwhelming. Your body is on high alert. What does your brain do? It starts scanning for exits. Every possible way out. Windows. Doors. Fire escapes. Even options you would not normally consider. Not because you truly want to jump out of a window… but because your system is desperately trying to find a way to survive. 💔 Trauma can feel like that building. When the emotional intensity gets too high, the mind can start searching for any possible exit from the pain. Sometimes those “exits” show up as suicidal thoughts. That does not always mean we truly want to die. Often, it means our system is overwhelmed and trying to find relief. You are not “bad” or “broken” for having these thoughts. Thoughts can pass - especially when you are supported and regulated. You do not have to face that intensity alone. Healing doesn’t happen in isolation - it happens in community. If you are struggling right now, please reach out to someone you trust or a crisis support service in your country. You deserve support, safety, and space to breathe. With love, Chris ❤️

Most of the members of this community were not here when I first posted this, so, I thought I'd reshare (with some added content/resources). :) Thought it would be fitting to share because limiting beliefs really do have a tendency to impact the trajectory of our life! Okay, so here's one way of going about overcoming our limiting beliefs! :) Step 1: Choose your desired outcome! What's your goal here? -Get clear on what you actually want and are willing to change -Identify the beliefs that are holding you back from making this happen Step 2: Get curious with your beliefs--question them! -Challenge their truth : how did we actually get here? Often some of these became engraved in childhood before we even had the chance to think about them analytically -See if there is evidence that disproves them (also think about "if my friend believed this, what would I say/think" -explore different perspectives (I think that curiosity can be the best weapon when it comes to understanding/expanding/rewriting our maps) Step 3: Consider the consequences of holding on to this belief -Ask yourself how keeping this belief affects your life -Reflect on the cost emotionally, physically, and relationally -Be honest with yourself and ask "what benefit HAVE I gotten from holding on to this belief"...Often times there are secondary gains from holding on to something that's not great for us. Step 4: Create a new empowered belief -Choose a belief that supports growth and the goal that you're working towards! -Make sure it feels believable and aligned with your goals and values; When I say feels believable---sometimes things may not "feel" believable, but that doesn't mean that they're not true Step 5: Strengthen the new belief -Use quotes, affirmations, or role models for support -Build habits that reinforce the belief -Be okay with the discomfort that comes along with this--this is normal!! New neural pathways are being created and that is actual physical change happening (think about how working out can create soreness in the body--there's a similar sense that comes with this); discomfort is not always a bad thing; learn to distinguish discomfort that helps us stretch the comfort zones vs. discomfort that is trying to set a boundary
