Post about everyday kindness preventing suicide goes viral: 'The milkshake saved my life.'

I've lost friends to suicide and an accident in my 20s. Sorry to be so jarring, but that's exactly how those deaths felt. I didn't expect to start wrestling with mortality at such a young age. I've seen firsthand how mental health crises can devolve when people don't receive the help they desperately need. Deaths attributable to mental decline and/or suicide remain taboo and suicidal ideation is still widely misunderstood.

A poignant Tumblr post about this subject is making the rounds again, this time on Facebook. It's a touching treatise on how everyday kindness can save someone's life. You never know how your actions might impact someone positively, so it's worth making the extra effort.
