Suicide Prevention: An Evening of Hope


Wednesday 22nd October 2014

7.15pm
Skylon Hotel
Drumcondra Road Uppr.
Dublin 9

Dare to Live SOS are a group of people who have come together through connecting with each other’s personal experience with Suicide, Self Harm and Eating Disorders. We know what it is like when the option of suicide is staring you in the face, but more importantly, we know how to SURVIVE. Suicide has a cure and that cure is HOPE. We will be providing an evening of HOPE by sharing our personal journeys from every point of view; Sufferers, Carers, Parents, Friends. We will be sharing how we have gotten through our darkest times and found life again. We want to share the HOPE. You too can help yourself or a loved one.

To have HOPE is to have connection. All are welcome to join us in our movement to banish Suicide, Self Harm and Eating Disorders as an option for more of our loved ones.

Together we can all save a Life

Get Out & Grow

Get out  Of the confines of the fault finding mind Get out Into the world where the sun still shines and we can become more inclined towards its positive light Step out from the belligerent beliefs that only serve to feed A nitpicking narrative A cocoon of contempt.
Is it that bad? Is the world actually out to get us?  Do our peers exist solely to sneer and stand hand on gavel Ready to pass judgement on our every move? To render us unstable within our own self worth Burying our esteem under the hardened ground of shitty self talk composting and fertilising  a poisonous seed of self image that needs uprooting.
Get out  Of the view that's there's something bad about you. Because you - You are the unbelievable seed of incredible, of significant, of a strong and sacred life. You have immeasurable capacity to grow and thrive And that might sound exuberant, I get it,  I didn't believe it either. I didn't realise But free now from that mindset, I've come completely alive.
See, maybe we're mis…

Living Your Best Life

Finding our way in life can be quite a journey. It's this vastly beautiful, exciting and challenging thing that we get one chance at. And figuring out what to do with our unique experience of it, is an undertaking that can lead us to many places, doing a variety of things and learning a wealth of lessons.

I'm extremely lucky to never have had to deal with death or grief much until this past year or so. Oddly enough this coincides with the time period where I've been most alive myself, experiencing freedom, travel and a zest of life that has been dormant in the past. Where once I struggled so much to embrace living, there is now a depth of gratitude, appreciation and wonder at how amazing life can be. I've realised the way I love to live - what I love doing, seeing and being part of, how I like to be, how I most enjoy spending my time, the ways I can recharge, feel good and self care. I've learned who I am and what my dreams are. I've awoken to the possibilities …

"Shoulds are Sh*t"

I recently saw this caption shared by the regularly inspiring 'Notesontheway' from a podcast she had listened to. Instantly I loved it and felt compelled to write about just how accurate I believe this statement to be, having eradicated that word from my life's language as I undertook my journey to freedom.

In the past, 'should' was a word that I consistently allowed to speak for me. It emerged from a fluency in 'not good enough' and eagerly contributed to a growing vocabulary of self-limiting and self-destructive language. Having brought awareness to its undue recurrence in my mind and its connection to how I was feeling and acting, I realised how little it served me to continue to speak it. It wasn't freeing or beneficial or a part of positive growth for me, and as such, it had no place in either my own self talk or my outward conversation. Bit by bit, this word was replaced with many other more suitable, self-supportive and encouraging alternatives.
