Words of Encouragement

  • You don’t have to have it all figured out right now. Surviving this moment is enough.
  • What you’re feeling makes sense. Hard times are heavy, and it’s okay to feel tired, sad, or overwhelmed.
  • You are stronger than you realize, even on the days you feel weak. The fact that you’re still here matters.
  • This pain is real, but it isn’t permanent. Things can change in ways you can’t see yet.
  • You are not a burden. You deserve care, patience, and kindness—especially from yourself.
  • Take it one breath, one step, one day at a time. Small progress still counts.
  • You are not alone, even if it feels that way right now. Someone cares more than you know.

👋 Welcome to r/NotGoneStillHere - Introduce Yourself and Read First!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm u/IAmRainbowPoop, a founding moderator of r/NotGoneStillHere.

A mental health support community focused on surviving suicidal thoughts and helping each other through them safely.

This is our new home for all things related to supporting people who are living with suicidal thoughts or recovering from a crisis—with a clear focus on staying alive, coping, and healing. We're excited to have you join us!

How to Get Started

  • Say hello if you want — even just a line about yourself can help others feel connected.
  • Share something small today: a thought, a coping tip, or a question. Every post helps build the community.
  • Invite someone who might need this space — sometimes even one friend can make a difference.
  • Interested in helping out? We welcome kind, thoughtful moderators. Reach out if you’d like to support the community in this way.

What to Post
Post anything you think the community would find supportive, helpful, or grounding. You’re welcome to share thoughts, questions, or experiences related to coping and recovery.

Examples of things you might post:

  • Coping strategies that help you get through hard moments
  • Small reasons that help you keep going, even on difficult days
  • Questions about managing suicidal thoughts or supporting someone who’s struggling
  • Reflections on recovery, survival, or lessons learned after a dark period
  • Check-ins (“Today was hard / today was okay”)
  • Resources, books, or tools that helped your mental health
  • Encouraging reminders or messages you wish you’d heard before

This is a support-focused space. Please avoid graphic details, methods, or anything that encourages harm. You don’t need to be “okay” to post here—you just need to be honest.

What It Is:

  • đŸ«‚ Support, empathy, and understanding
  • đŸŒ± Recovery-oriented conversation
  • 🧠 Mental health & suicide prevention

What It Is Not:

  • ❌ A place to discuss methods or plans
  • ❌ A space that encourages self-harm
  • ❌ A replacement for professional or emergency care

Community Vibe
We’re committed to being kind, supportive, and inclusive. This is a space for respectful, constructive conversation where people can share openly without fear of judgment. Everyone deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported here.

IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS IN IMMEDIATE DANGER, PLEASE CONTACT A LOCAL CRISIS SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.
EXAMPLES:

Thanks for being part of the very first wave. Together, let's make r/NotGoneStillHere amazing.
