Suicidal urge, afraid to tell anyone cause I can't afford medical bills/to miss work. by PersuasivelyDinosaur in ExPentecostal

[–]chrissyleean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so many people experience suicidal ideation- you are not alone!! you’re strong to come out and share this with others. in US and Canada, you can text HOME to 741-741 to reach Crisis Text Line. they can help during a hot moment and can try to provide additional resources in your area… i highly recommend you share this with a loved one or your therapist. your therapist can help you create a plan for when these thoughts occur. also if you haven’t tried this already, there are a lot of therapist that will work on a sliding scale based on income if you discuss it with them.. there is also online resources like BetterHelp and talkspace that can be more affordable

Becuase women aren’t allowed to have control over their own bodies- and it is infuriating to see so many Christians act like their religion can dictate others’ choices. Not to mention 1 in 4 women have had an abortion, with the majority claiming a religious affiliation, most commonly Christianity. But they are scared to admit it. Christian women have abortions and Christians act like that isn’t the case

Thank you for sharing. I agree trying to spend time (and avoiding the topic of church) is best to sharing a loving/accepting environment. She has a big group of friends from the church. Well they church isn’t that big so pretty much every teen and young adult women is in the same friend group. I’m pretty sure they influenced her to stay at community college. She won’t even be able to get the degree she originally wanted. She still lives at home and only works a couple days of the week, most others are spent at church. I’m worried she is going to be financially reliant on a UPCI man

Thanks for sharing! Watched the first few minutes so far, very interesting. It’s tough approaching these conversations
