“I just didn’t know how to live. I still don’t, but I’m getting better. I’ve asked for help and everything. Where I was going with this, is that I know when it feels like the end. But I can promise you, there’s always another road. Don’t give up yet.”

September is Suicide Awareness Month. This is an issue that is dear to me, in case that wasn’t evident by the struggles I put my characters through, Arlo Rook especially.

Some of my favorite books that deal with this are A Strange and Stubborn Endurance, Lore and Lust, Summer Sons, An Unnatural Vice, and Jack of Thorns.

In some of these stories there are on page attempts, while others have active or passive ideation, or there was an attempt in the past. Please check TW as a good few of these are dark and full of angst.
