About
Suicide affects us all, yet it’s often a battle fought alone. I’m not speaking to you as a brand, I’m speaking to you as Jesse.
For most of my life, every day felt like a fight just to stay here. I grew up believing I wouldn’t see adulthood. But I did. I’m well into my 30s now, and every day I have is the result of choosing to stay. Depression shaped me, but it no longer defines me.
Therdune exists because I made that choice. It’s built on the belief that no one should feel like they have to fight alone.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for people 10-34 in the U.S., and millions silently battle depression. I was one of them. Many still are. That’s why part of everything we do goes toward supporting suicide prevention.
You matter.
Will you stay awhile?
