Trigger warning: This post and article discusses the difficult topic of su***de.

The shocking and sad reality is that this pandemic is taking a major toll on our mental health and su***de will likely continue to skyrocket, which means COVID-19 isn't the only epidemic we're facing. There are tons of mental health professionals ready and available to anyone who is struggling.

If you are experiencing thoughts of su***de, these resources are available 24/7:

Su***de Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-8255

Crisis Text Line: text HELP to 741741

Dr. Lorna Breen, head of emergency at a NYC hospital, has died a hero of the pandemic "She's a casualty just as much as anyone else who has died."
