Lauren McKenzie [free 🇵🇸]: Here it is! I posted on Twitter like a year ago asking if anyone remembered the article because I couldn’t find it lol 💜💜💜

@themckenziest.gay it's not weird that I'm liking things of yours from months and months ago, promise. I was trying to find a specific post that had a link to an article I can't find now and I keep getting distracted by other amazing things you've said other times

Lmao I totally get it - I’ll repost shit from forever ago just from a tism whim - you go for it :)

I don't think I can find it D: Maybe it wasn't you that posted it but I was really convinced it was you. It was an article or essay that talked about suicide or just not wanting to be alive in general and the feeling of being in the water and just letting yourself sink. Is that at all familiar?

SUICIDALITY HOLD ON - this article changed my brain forever. It’s not about wanting to actively die, but rather not really feeling an attachment to being alive

I am not always very attached to being alivetheoutline.com Chronic, passive suicidal ideation is like living in the ocean. Let’s start talking about how to tread water.

We gotta bully the writer, Anna, back onto bluesky 😡

writing a book is so much fun because every once in a while you're like "wow this might actually be good???" but more often you're like "oh wow this is actually really terrible and i will humiliate myself if anyone else ever sets eyes on it"

Oh gosh. I didn't even know it had a name... I thought it was just me and the stuff inside my head....

This is how I felt when I first read it! And SOOOO many said the same 💜💜 you’re definitely not alone.

Thank you so much for sharing ♡♡♡

Thank you for posting this.

Thank you so much for reading and resonating with it <3 always makes me feel a little less alone in this world

You are not alone. 🫂

Yes that's the one! Slippery one it is

It is indeed, but wow I felt so so so less alone when so many people hardcore related <3 I hate that we do but there’s a reason

I remember seeing you post this and thinking "omg Lauren's like me, I'm like Lauren! ...oh no but it's about this lolsob"

LOL I think it says way more about this shitty system we all inherited than us as like defective humans :)

Huh. Yeah I feel this right down to my toes.

I've heard therapists call it "millenial fine" or something

Oof yeah

It’s more than millennials. 🥺 I wonder if they may be the first talk about it more though.

Thanks for posting it. I need to forward it to my doctor lol.

💜💜💜💜💜

I love this article

Me too! It’s helped me and so many friends repeatedly <3 Always worthy of a re-read when it pops up
