HOPE IM GONNA TALK

PLEDGE

END MENTAL HEALTH STIGMA.ORG PLEDGEES NAME:

I choose to live because of the following people that I have loved, those who love me or have loved me and
those that will love me in the future. I cannot particularly list these people, but I know that I will encounter
love again and again over the course of my life. I can always be hopeful of this.
If I am depressed, but can truly think objectively, I know that some people currently or in the past
love me though they have a tough time expressing this. Some of these people might be listed below, but I
know that even if I dont feel love all the time from those who struggle to express it, I know deep down
inside that people love me and they would be absolutely devastated if I hurt myself. This is why I choose
this day to talk if I ever become suicidal because I would be missed.
People that I love or that love me and people that would miss me if I were gone:

The following people can help me with a problem, direct me to proper resources if they arent sure
how to help me. These people can be a nonjudgmental ear in which I can open up to about any feelings I
may be having: Think: Coaches, Guidance Counselors, BFFs, Teachers, Mentors etc.
