Trigger Warning: Suicide attempt and self harm.
We knew these days were coming, and we knew individuals in our movement would be most vulnerable.
Today was the day it became visible.
Today in Werribee, a lady set herself on fire in her car, stating she had nothing left, with a sign on her car that read 'No one cares vaccine mandates are killing us.'
First responders on the scene managed to act quickly and put the fire out.
We can say 'we are grateful that the first responders were there to help and she is now getting the mental health care she needs', but we know it's not as simple as that. These are not problems that medication and professional psychological help can easily cure. These are the triggers of existential crisis and loss of faith in humanity - loss of hope for a future. Real problems that are showing no signs of going away anytime soon.
This is one of the reasons why we do what we do.
