And sometimes... the people who say they love you deny that you are severely disabled, delete their comments, block you on social media, and then leave you to sex traffickers.
Your mileage may vary.
Still, the original message is sustained: There ARE people out there who love you. Keep seeking. You will find them.
Be wise, and mindful for your safety.

When suffering people are experiencing destructively constant threat to their lives, including increasing disabilities and physical pain, they ask for help so that they will not die.
If they are forced to stay in circumstances that are legitimately killing their bodies, there is a threshold where the body cannot survive it and must make the suffering stop.
When they beg for help not to die, when they beg to be listened to, they are often diverted to suicide hotlines with the misunderstanding that they want to kill themselves for an unknown (or spurious) reason.
But the truth is they are already being killed. They are begging for assistance.
Survivors must be listened to --- but suicide hotlines are not listening.

Survivors of human trafficking, severe health conditions, environmental sensitivities, medical misinformation or abuse, and other intersections of violence often cannot reach the supposed assistance of suicide hotlines because of unaddressed and frequently mischaracterized conditions such as ongoing abuse, compound trauma, TBI, severe neurological injuries, intellectual disabilities, and diverse physical limitations.
Suicide hotlines that are not listening closely, consistently, and effectively to the most severely marginalized individuals are often unaware of the consequences to survivors' lives.
Suicide hotlines tend to make a show of listening to the person who calls in, but they also often make assumptions that prevent effective communication and effective assistance to that person.
When a survivor calls into a hotline, the hotline volunteer will protect their identity *from* the survivor and usually only ever talk to that survivor once.
This is not the same as building a relationship with the survivor that repairs function and ensures they can be actively part of ongoing safe community activities.
Trafficking survivors in our network report frequently that they cannot get help from hotlines and are often endangered if they follow advice from others associated with or related to hotlines.
Overwhelmingly, suicide hotlines do not provide relationship building or safe community access resources.
But relationship building and safe community access resources produce the most resilience and safety for the most severely affected and all survivors.
Inclusive community can prevent human trafficking and many other kinds of suffering.

People who are already dying call the suicide hotline to ask not to be killed.
The suicide hotline says: You're not being killed.
The suicide hotline says: We're here to help.
But the person who called in is still dying -- and hasn't yet been listened to sufficiently so that a caring volunteer might know better what to do.
The person who called in is shunted towards resources that deprioritize that person's most crucial communications.
What needs to be addressed first are the immediate harms affecting the caller.
But the caller is never safe to more specifically communicate if the hotline assumes it knows better.
The caller never finds a conversation they can trust if the hotline does not recognize the necessity of continuing conversation for the sharing of unfolding details while affected by traumatic experiences.
Many callers will not be safe to more specifically communicate until they are in contact with relationship building and inclusive community access resources.
We have requested conversation on these subjects for years without response.
This is a great part of the reason survivors in our community networks are unable to ensure their safety from human traffickers.

Our network of survivors has extensively documented the ways in which human traffickers and sex traffickers are taking active and immediate advantage of these systems vulnerabilities.
Our network of survivors has also compiled materials to assist communities in immediately stopping and preventing human trafficking, especially for those most at risk.
Listening to the voices of our most severely affected survivors and ensuring fully inclusive community resourcing is necessary right away.
This reprioritization helps all our communities to relieve the effects of violence, eliminate health disparities, restore cultural competencies, and recover most swiftly.

' Check out some excerpts from “Abolition Must Include Psychiatry” — written by two of our team members! 🧠🌱🌻
READ THE PIECE: https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2020/07/22/abolition-must-include-psychiatry/
Image 1: As we talk about prison abolition, discourse that was largely founded and remains spearheaded by revolutionary Black Women, we must reckon with the history of psychiatry, and better understand how the mental health system perpetuates processes of criminalization, policing, and surveillance.
Image 2: Abolition means that all the cages come down, including those that function under the guise of psychiatric ‘care.’
Image 3: There is a dangerous tale in the US, one based on a myth of the deinstitutionalization of psychiatric asylums. We are told that the asylum died and is a thing of the past. We are told that, now, “patients” have rights, are treated with human dignity, and are not criminalized for their neurodivergence. We’re told that restraints and forcible medication only happen in “extreme” cases. We’re told that the mental health care system is here to help us, support us, and “treat” us. And now, when abolition has entered mainstream discourse, we’re told that this very system should be considered an alternative to incarceration in jails and prisons. But those of us who have survived psychiatric incarceration know that not only did the asylum never die — it is, and always was, another prison. Knowing the truth of these myths, we work towards writing a new story.
Image 4: Every state (and Washington DC) allows for a person to be involuntarily held for “treatment, observation, or stabilization.” Though specifications vary by state, the three main forms of commitment are: emergency hospitalization for evaluation, involuntary inpatient commitment, and “assisted” outpatient treatment. This means that other people may decide (without your consent) that you present a risk to yourself or others, and need to be removed from or surveilled within your community for “treatment.”
