Hello everyone ! Old and new watchers!

I'd like to apologize for the lack of posting on here. The page is mostly Run by me and there's just been a lot going on in life recently so I haven't had much time to post on here, Nor have i really had anything to post art or journal wise.

Anyways! If anyone has Art they would like (or already have) related to this page and wants it posted on here ( with full credit given to you) Please note the page or myself with a link and we would love to post it ( once again with all credit to you)

If anyone needs anyone to talk to (feeling wise or just to have a friend) rather than noting the page you can add me on kik, or skype or tumblr (all will be linked at the end of this journal).

other than that stuff thats all i have to say for now

Welcome new followers and hello old followers

I hope everyone has a lovely day/night
~

Kik is : medication_is_a_must

Skype is : Golden Doodle

And tumblr is : http://medication-is-a-must.tumblr.com/ ( my ask box and fanmail is always open)

I just found out after posting the Zander Journal, We lost another Trans* boy (from what i saw he is gone) His name was Damien and if you wish to know more about him his instagram picture he posted (tw his suicide note is there) tells you more, his instagram is 0hiro.hamada0

I'm not 100% sure if he is gone but it seems he is.

UPDATEEEEEEE

Damien's sister has posted to his instagram updating on his condition!!!! They say he is life support and i couldn't find out anymore info other than that,

Fingers crossed he makes it out okay!!!
And for anyone religious please keep Damien in you're prayers.

Have a goodnight everyone

On February 15th we lost another trans* teen by them taking they're own life.
His name was Zander, 15 years old and a FtM

On march 7th draw a star on your body in remembrance of the boy who now dances among them.

Here is his suicide note trigger warning because suicide: http://hipopatmus.tumblr.com/post/1.....4/suicide-note

As many of you may or may not know Leelah Alcorn a Transgender female took her on 12/28/14 ( it was either the 28th or the 29th news says Sunday other posts say the 29th)

This hits me pretty hard being trans* myself, Leelah's death is a heart breaking tragedy and i feel rather than mourning her death i should leave some trans/lgbt helplines just for those who need it and just please if you or anyone else who feel like they need to take they're life because of how you are please please by all means don't do it. there can be help.

http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6280900/

http://www.transviolencetracker.org.....trans-suicides

Thought this was important so I'm posting it here.

Part of their plan is apparently to post pictured of mutilated genitals and trans* people on other's Tumblr submit box, so if you have Tumblr or anything just take note of this.

Hope all you you are doing well and stay safe!

Hello everyone! I hope all of you are doing fine on this beautiful day!

As most know, holidays are coming up and that can cause a lot of stress for some people, but do not fear! We have some helpful tips to help you be less stressed this holiday season :3

STRESS LESS HOLIDAY TIPS

1 RELAX! The holidays can be a very stressful time for some but don't worry! Try to get everything you need to get done a few weeks ahead of the holiday.
weather it be cleaning (i'd recommend cleaning a few days before the holiday),presents,or anything else!

2 Leave some time to yourself! This can be hard sometimes, but try to make some time to just sit back and relax. Drink some tea, take a walk,watch a movie with someone you love, bundel up in some warm clothes or read a book!

3 Do something creative! Weather you think you can be creative or not try! Draw some pictures, Write a poem/short story, Take a try at crafting holiday decor!

4 Listen to music when you can! Music is a great way to deal with things and make you feel better! Listen to up beat happy/fast (or heavy which ever you prefer) songs! TRY YOUR BEST TO AVOID SAD/DEPRESSING MUSIC

5 Don't worry about the little things! Focus on what you need to get done and get them done! The little things can be worried about later.

6 Make a schedule to manage your time. THis may not seem like a good idea, but if you follow it, it can help you a lot!

7 Enjoy your holiday!

I hope all of you have a safe upcoming holiday!

If anyone needs help feel free to contact 's email [ jarofinsanity[at]gmail.com ] that's the fastest way to contact us.

Have a lovely day!

~ Jason

Just a friendly reminder to some people, please DO NOT out anyone without their permission!!!!!!

~Jarofinsanity

Hope all of you are having a wonderful day/night <3

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A RE-POST OF A OLD JOURNAL WRITTEN BY MIKEY

Are there any ideas on how to spread the group around?
Jace and/or I have come up with a few things so far :

1. *not a contest* Draw a picture of your sona with a summary (1 or more sentences) of what happened. Kind of like vent art. You can do this for bad things and good thing, however! So if you were having a bad day but then got an A+ on a hard test and you feel like you need to blurt it out in happiness, well post it. Or if you were having a bad day and it just feels worse and worse, and you feel the need to let off some steam through art, draw how you feel and well post that too.
-To submit the art, please note this account with a link, thanks<3

2. *contest* Write a small story or poem about what you find relaxing in life. It can be written in any style, but please make sure its readable. This contest will be open for a week to a month depending on how many entries there are. With school, it could be harder to write for some, and we want everyone to feel they can participate if theyd like to. The prize will most likely be free art~
-To submit the writing, please note this account with a link, thanks<3

3. *not a contest?* Make an icon for the group. Please keep it around the lines of Not Being Alone. You can show this with hand holding, friends, signs, ect - you have full creativity! Once a week or so Jace or I will switch the icons around so they will all be used. The artist of the icon for that week will be featured on our page to help spread publicity to you as a thank you.

If you have any other ideas please let one of us know by noting this account ^^
Please comment with your opinions on the ideas above too, so we know what you guys are interested in, please

Hello watchers!

I apologize for the lack of posts on this page but we are back!

Due to Mikey leaving FA onto Weasyl, we are now looking for new mods, just message if you are interested.

Also how is everyone doing? We love to hear from everyone ^^ so if you have anything you'd like to share from art,to stories, to just how you feel post it in a shout!

That's all for now, expect to see more art posts and hopefully daily journals!

Have a lovely day

~ Jason

If you wish to make an icon please do so and put it in a shout or note c:

Have a nice day loves <3

~Jace & Mikey

Mikey here! () I had a wonderful idea that might help some of you in this group; My therapist taught it to me and its helped more than I thought it would. Basically, you write a letter or note to someone who has hurt you or wronged you. Its perfectly fine for you to write one to yourself as well, if you feel the need! There will be a short list of rules below, to help protect users and avoid flaming.

---

Let me explain this a bit further for those of you interested~ Post a comment below and start it with "Dear abuser/self/ect" And fallow it out like you are writing a letter to the person you are directing it at.

Here is my example :
"Dear Abuser,

I hate what you did to me - how you treated me for years. You made me feel like crap, and I let you because you promised you'd be better in the future. I know now that you lied. You used me. That was your plan the entire time, wasn't it? You knew I was young - that I trusted you. I wish I would've seen it back then. But Im ok now. Im stronger now, too. Ill never let you do that to me again. Do you hear me? NEVER.

I hate you with a burning passion,
Signed- Mikey"

---

Now for some rules (im sorry, but I have to </3)
1. Be polite to everyone posting. This is a place to let our past wounds begin to heal
2. Don't comment on anyone else's post unless they specifically say that it is ok. Then, only comment with support; no negativity, please! This also means don't send someone notes or shouts about their posts here!
3. Try not to curse too much when typing. We understand that you may be upset from the pain, but some people may be offended by too much bad language
4. Never ever post real names or usernames! That would be considered flaming or trolling and we will hide your post
5. Rules may be added/deleted as time goes on to make sure everyone is content and happy

PS. you may post as many time as you need to <3
