In recognition of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, what are some practices that you used to maintain your mental health?
Watts A., Pine Bluff, Ark.
Faith in myself and believing in me. As I’ve matured, I realized it’s all a mindset. Time heals all wounds and those tables do turn.
Sharon Brown, Compton, Calif.
Knowing that God has my back. Knowing that I put my trust in Jesus Christ, not people. We always think that if we’re good to people, they’ll be good to us too, or if we support you, you’ll do the same. But it doesn’t always turn out that way. But when you give that trust to Jesus, he’ll never let you down.
Christopher Davis, Washington, D.C.
The almighty and the state of mind that I’m stronger than anything life throws at me.
Sam Johnson, Detroit
My kids for sure! They motivate me to be my best even when I’m at my worst. Always remember, on a scale from 1 to 10, your 2.8 effort is a 10 in their eyes.
Donald Lindsey, Detroit
God, looking forward to the next album from my favorite music artists, the next new coaster at an amusement park, listening to a lecture from Minister Farrakhan, going to the zoo, and talking to an understanding family member.
