Hi Incognito Journey, you're right it is an alarming number. There's a lot of suffering out there, but I also see a lot of strength and resilience. For queer people reading this, and looking at those numbers, please don't think it is inevitable that you will be depressed or suicidal just because of who you are. You are an individual, with much to contribute to the world and the people around you. Struggle is a part of life, and some of us have more of it than others. It may not always seem like it, but there is meaning to be found in the struggle, and opportunities for growth. Those of us who have grown up different see the world in a unique way, and I can't imagine what it would be like to be the same as everyone else. Take care all.
