The health care system has failed me dozens of times, pushing me closer to suicide more often than helping me. I am not against hotlines and other conventional means to assist a suicidal person, I am FOR the allowance of alternative methods so we may grow and learn as a society how to hold space for this growing epicemic. This is a vast, quick-growing problem. We need to think outside the box. Teal Swan's teachings are outside the box. Teal's teachings have helped save my life.

Watching and learning from Teal has not only helped me save myself, but now I have also helped many others. And i plan on continuing to use her teachings to continue healing myself deeper and deeper, as well as continue to helping others that come around me needing help.

There is great sadness when a person decides to end their life. At this point the society has failed them and their closest ones were unable to spot or assist them in healing. When this happens it is a symptom of a much greater issue - the issue of our collective approach to mental health and to the way unhealed patterns are developed and passed down from one generation to other. Teal is trying to offer a model that gives those who struggle a sense of being fully seen and accepted. Blaming her for this terrible loss is no different than blaming parents for their children's mental health issues. Teal has helped many but the online modality cannot possibly replace the needs of the struggling people for a direct human contact and assistance with mental health issues. We need to address how to approach this difficult topic on social media in general as to provide those struggling with what works best.

Teal Swan has saved my life. she has been the only reliable resource for me when the health system and mental health system both failed to even consider me and my perspective on life valid and true. Teal is representing the future approach i am rooting for, and she is the change i think the world needs.

I’ve had a life full of trauma. I divorced my abusive husband of 23 years and he retaliated by keeping my children from me. I wanted to die. I felt so powerless. I tried counselors and they either just scratched the surface or they made the problems worse. I was desperate for help. I didn’t have the money to continue to pay counselors who could not understand the issues I was struggling with. I found Teals videos. Oh my gosh. She gets it. She explained what I was feeling. Finally someone actually could relate to what I was going through. I put in the work of implementing her teachings and gradually I started to improve. Yes I would relapse on the pathway through my healing and that was hard. Her video on suicide gave me a valuable tool during the hardest lows when I didn’t think I could get through to tomorrow. I was too afraid to share my thoughts of suicide with my family members for fear that I’d end up in the ER or a psyche ward. I just needed to express to someone how I felt. Teal Tribe was a godsend. It helped me to release my intense feelings and frustrations. Teal Tribe felt like a safe place for that. One of my lifelong problems was I was afraid to be authentic with my thoughts and emotions. This in itself created my own little hell day to day. Teal Tribe was finally a place that I could express my deepest thoughts and feelings and usually there was someone there to validate them. The more I practiced this form of self expression the more I was able to do it in my daily life. What Teal has started has truly been life changing for me. It’s been a gift of freedom out of a life of oppression and depression. I lost my own mother to suicide and Teal has helped me to continue to be there for my kids. I think her wisdom can only come from a lifetime of healing from childhood trauma. She gets it. She knows how it feels to be in so much pain you don’t want to live. I think that’s how she was able to find a way out of that. And thank God she chooses to share that p

It's not her fault that some people are suicidal. Free speech for the win.
