Hello Family,
Suicide is never an easy thing to discuss, rather, it is in some ways, socially discouraged because of the stigma in which still surrounds it. It is through this vlog, and sharing my story, that I hope to change that. I really don’t give a damn about putting myself out there like that, if it helps just one person, then it’s worth it.
Many times we may express our sorrow or discomfort in life without ever expressing our true feelings. Without saying the taboo words of “I’m feeling suicidal.” It’s these words that are most important to tell, yet we don’t because we fear judgment, lack of understanding, loss of our jobs, partners, etc. It was only through my own experience, that I came to understand that there are people who do care, can help, and most of all, can help you in private if you so wish.
I called the National Suicide Prevention Hotline (1-800-273-8255) and spoke with a woman named Susan. Susan ultimately gave me the courage to seek further help from mental healthcare professionals, in which undoubtedly saved my life. Susan was a huge source of inspiration for me in starting this channel. I’m indebted to her in so many ways.
If you are uncomfortable with talking to your loved ones or friends, please feel free to reach out to me via email or social media. I’m here for you. If you are uncomfortable with that, then please call the resources listed below. There is not a time or age limit in which you have to be in order to call. ANYONE can call! There are also local chaplains and grief counselors in which you may contact in almost every city. Use these invaluable resources! They’re there for you whenever you need them! I highly encourage you to tell your family and friends so they may give you the love and support you need. Don’t suffer alone. This may all sound cliche, but it’s simply the truth. You do not need to be suffering from a mental illness to feel suicidal, and regardless if you are or aren’t, there is still help. Trust me I would know.
As an arising psychologist, I have learned the importance of talking about these subjects because of how common people suffer from them. It’s part of life.
Family, parents, and friends, please pay attention to the subtle or drastic behavioral changes displayed by your loved ones. Talk to them, and encourage an open line of communication. Please do not resort to the mere thought that they are just seeking attention or are experiencing puberty, mood swings, etc. This commonly a fatal mistake. Get involved!
Let’s keep this discussion going.
Wishing you many blessings – Blair

Well this is the first time i actually got to watch you channel and in entirely i believe in what your saying. For the longest time of my current deployment ive just been watching motovloggers and this really hit close to heart cause ive delt with my friends trying to do this and i even found the love of my life by helping her cope with her depression. Just wanna say thank you for your message and in my honest opinion your a great person and i can say from experience youll never know until you talk or pay attention to others before you realize how messed up the world is but there is still hope.
Real talk
I don't know u but i truly admire u so much after watching this.
U have such a beautiful spirit
Good video…..I'd explain why everyone is depressed and suicidal and have illness but it would take too long. Good luck everyone. Peace.
Sweetheart if anyone judge you right now they are narrow-minded and cannot see the big picture the fact remains is that you was and it happened to the best of us the main thing is that you had the biggest courage to come out and speak about it and I can assure you many persons lives will be affected positively because of your story and to see how you of overcome so look at this as an example.
Very good guy he looked after Christopher reeve and paid his hospital Bill's. Very sad indeed
