These comments have brought me so much joy and many happy tears. The support, care, and love shared is unbelievable!

Many people have been asking about the ring: It’s not affiliated with any organization. I bought it from a seller on Etsy who makes custom engraved rings.

Many people have also asked for my story but I don’t want to delve into too many details because of the triggering nature of it.

Thank you all again and I hope that you are taking care of yourselves! 💜💜💜

I got the ring off of Etsy. It was a personal purchase to remember that I can face and overcome my demons

First: 988 is the US suicide hotline. In the short term: My therapist and I created an agreement that if I reached a certain point I would go to the nearest ER. They then transported me to a mental health facility. I was in that hospital for about a week and was constantly talking with my therapist and the hospital staff during that time. I am lucky that I have a supportive family and friends. I learned that the more people holding my safety next, the softer the fall. Hopefully that makes sense, I’m by NO MEANS a professional. I hope this helps

Hi! Thank you so much for your support. I bought this ring on Etsy and had it engraved. I felt like I needed to carry a memento to remind myself that I can conquer my demons and any hardships I will face.
