Change how we think of #suicide by understanding experiences of pain (physical/psychological) #trauma that changes/disrupts persons mood, behaviors, appetite, desires, perceptions, realities. We humanize pain @SISFI @ASuicidalMind @Suicideinstitut @SuicideCouncil 🫶 #IAmBrettless

What the hell is going on @coinbase over past few days. Long and lengthy delays with transactions and not updating account and features. C'mon, Coinbase, get yourself together. This is causing significant financial losses with the ridiculous system failures in this tech age. #CoinbaseFailures #CoinbaseLosses #CoinbaseBeBetter

Greetings, beautiful people, how are You? Join us today 1pm-2:30pm at the Scudder Intervention Services Foundation Inc. '@SISFI', The Suicidality Institute @SuicideInstitut, The Suicidality Center @Suicide_Center, and The Suicidality Council @SuicideCouncil for my educational presentation and discussion on "Emotional Males Chronicles: Nurturing True Strength, Healing and Wellness from Understanding, Accountability, and Transparency of Emotions, Pain, Loneliness, Trauma, and Vulnerabilities.” How often are males told they are too emotional, too sensitive, too dramatic, or too numb. How often do males have an opportunity to speak their truth authentically and transparently to their loved ones. The Emotional Male is a stigmatized person who is forced to shut in and shut down their emotions as a sign of weakness and femininity rather than strength, healing, and wellness. Join us here bit.ly/4p974u6 for this interactive presentation and discussion about the Emotional Male and the power and strength that comes from their pain and vulnerabilities. Thank You and God bless. #OneLove ~SISFI

Greetings, beautiful people, How are You? Continuing my virtual emotional wellness, pain management, and suicidality educational awareness and training series for National #Suicide Prevention Month with another great presentation at the Scudder Intervention Services Foundation, Inc. @SISFI, The Suicidality Institute @SuicideInstitut, The Suicidality Center @Suicide_Center, and The Suicidality Council @SuicideCouncil. Today, 1pm-2:30pm EST - Pain Linguistics: “How Males Experience, Present, Process, Treat, and Talk About Their Pain Struggles and Suffering.” Pain is a language best spoken and understood by person experiencing it even when they may not be making sense of it and is incoherent, it’s still an experience of great discomfort and unsettling emotions. After twenty-five years of working with males of all ages and experiences with trauma that led to their pain, I understood quite clearly that males present and talk about their pain in a language not taught; but lived, and from those years and my own experiences with near death traumas and broken heart I too know and understand how hard it is and will be for males to be authentic and transparent in our pain and suffering. Join us here bit.ly/47gBcxc for this interactive presentation and discussion that will open your mind and give You a greater appreciation for hearing or helping males express their pain and suffering. Please share with your networks so others can learn of and join us to be educated and empowered. Thank You, ~Brett A. Scudder

Greetings, beautiful people, how are You? It's National #Suicide Prevention Month and I'm facilitating educational events for awareness, intervention, and prevention to empower people with knowledge that can help themselves, coworkers, or loved ones.

'SISFI' @SISFI , The Suicidality Institute @SuicideInstitut , The Suicidality Center @Suicide_Center , and The Suicidality Council @SuicideCouncil for this educational presentation and discussion on "Understanding Behaviors and Language of Debilitating Pain and Its Impacts on Cognitive, Physical, and Psychological Wellness” facilitated by our Mr. Brett A. Scudder, Suicide Attempt Survivor, Motivational Speaker, Behavioral Health and Wellness Connoisseur, and Crises Response Director/Trainer. With a better understanding of how people experience and think of the aches and pain of their pain, we will be better and more effectively be able to treat and support them. Pain presents itself in various ways that often are misconstrued, misunderstood, and overlooked and we will talk about these language and behaviors that can help us recognize someone in deep crises and on the ledge of self-harm. I guarantee You that You will see and understand pain a whole new light and way that will benefit You for your own struggles and suffering or loved ones.

@AMAZlNGNATURE The walk, oh yes, that walk, is majestic and so bold in his dominance. He knows he's the king and his walk shows it. Incredible.

Logically which animal could take on a full grown male lion?

@Affirm Hi @Affirm, yes, you do, but that's not what happened in my case. I spoke with your customer service twice about it, and @Experian. You can not choose which account to report if all should. Thats misleading. Furthermore, your site says "will not affect your credit" but does.

@BrettAScudder Hi there. Affirm has a regulatory obligation to report accurate information to the credit bureau and can only change reporting when an inaccuracy is identified. Please email customercare@affirm.com if there is information you believe is being reported inaccurately.

Very disappointed in @Affirm and false/unethical advertising of loans details to people who use them. Can't choose what to report to @Experian if language says all will. Negative impacts and loss points on credit score is unfathomable for $145. Very disturbing 🤬 Beware of them.

#GaryOldman in #SlowHorses @AppleTV is pur brilliance and truly fulfilling. Found it by accident and binged since yesterday and loving it. Gary does an incredible job in his role. Great spy suspense thriller 👌 Went straight through season one and now in two. #IAmBrettless

Humbled to attend today's Statewide Town Hall held by @NYSomh executive leadership in #Albany. Commissioner Ann Sullivan laid out OMH plans to address #MentalHealth across the state and more investments in peer services, psychiatric beds, community-based services, new partnerships to increase services, new certifications to join behavioral services across healthcare systems, and many more great initiatives. I testified about the real hard realities people like me who are living with life-threatening health, mental health, physical pains, psychological despair, and how we are going into healthcare systems and coming out worse than went in and there's no oversight on quality of services in improving lives of people. I talked about the failures in these health systems that pushes people deeper in despair and pain and if I killed myself from the exacerbated pain everyone would say how many great services are available and I should have sought help because it is available. I'm in pain 24/7 from head to bottom of my feet from various health challenges. Seeking healthcare services shouldn't be hard, strenuous, or painful when already in pain and struggling with #suicide ideations to end suffering. I fear the healthcare systems more than my suicide thoughts and dying. I'm very happy my testimony touched many people and sparked a real conversation about dire need to assess quality of care in mental health systems. Looking forward to follow-up conversations about it and hard genuine truths from people with living experience expertise and our critical life saving work @SISFI @SuicideInstitut @SISFI_ASFARWC @Suicide_Center @CrisisLifeline @SchenCrisisCntr. #IAmBrettless #OneLove

Intriguing how payment services like @zip_usa @Klarna @Affirm are changing ways we spend, save, and manage money/finances and using less credit cards avoinding credit score impacts. Payment options are more realistic for many people managing very tight budgets and easy approvals. #IAmBrettless

@Kurtfishers @Amtrak Hi @Kurtfishers, how are You? Thank You for sharing that and the recommendation. Duly noted and will check her out. Very happy you found something that worked and got rid of your #anxiety. Wish we could get same results for many experiencing it. Keep pushing through. #OneLove

Dear @Amtrak, in one move of utter chaos and madness today you spiked my #anxiety #agoraphobia #depression, physical and psychological pains, and despair in ways that were terrifyingly incoherent and unbearable. Please, I'm begging you, if these cancelations are to continue, please, please, have all staff, customer service reps in locations on same page so confusion does exacerbate travel and #MentalHealth conditions. My God, it was an extremely challenging day traveling between #NYC and #Albany and I just need to get home safe anf wipe day from memory and pray this doesn't happen again on rest of travels this week 😤 You've put me in so much pain it's intolerable. Please, don't do this insanity to us again, please. It can/could be better organized and managed. Thank You. #IAmBrettless

Greetings @AsmSantabarbara, how are You? Please give us a call at 917.651.1889 regarding urgent matter we need your help with, please. Thank You. Looking forward to talking with you. #OneLove

G'day @POTUS @VP @StateDept @RepMikeTurner @SenSchumer @GillibrandNY @MarkWarner @SenMarcoRubio @AOC, how are You? My mother-in-law from The Bronx is stuck in #Isreal due to the conflicts and we have been trying tirelessly to get her home to the US by going through proper channels stated by the #USStateDepartment. She has serous health issues and not enough medication to last over this lengthy process. We received attached communication from the State Department about getting her out of Isreal and taking her to another country where she will then have to find her way back to the US. Email also mentions repaying the cost of getting her out of Isreal. Really, repaying? Is this how the US is handles evacuation of American citizens safely in times of conflicts/crisis? G'day Congressman @JamaalBowmanNY, we live in your district and need your help urgently with this, please. We can't believe that this is really how the State Department handles evacuation of American citizens. Truly unbelievable and unsettling. What can be done to get her home safely? We need HELP, urgently. Thank You. #IsrealPalestineConflict #IsrealUnderAttack

Good day beautiful people, How are You? Humbled/elated to present "20 Basic Non-Clinical Life Experiences and Reasons Males Attempt and Complete #Suicide than Females" at today's virtual #NYC @SuicideCouncil as we focus on the challenges, stressors, and struggles of males and how to support them meaningfully and effectively. We already know the CDC’s Suicide Report paints a startling reality of the facts and as we prepare for the upcoming Winter season, we must ensure males know there are resources, support, and services to help them through various challenges. Join online here bit.ly/3ZqHRgt. Please share to raise awareness and get the word out. See you there. #NYCSuicideCouncil #SuicideAwareness #SuicidePrevention #IAmBrettless #SuicideAttemptSurvivor #SISFI #CrisisResponse #OneLove

WoW. Very serious and heavy rain clouds over #Albany on our way up. Looks like a scene from an apocalyptic movie where either tornado our alien ship is about to break out from it 😱 Need to get off the road before clouds open up and drop serious rain. #IAmBrettless

Dear @POTUS @VP, how are You? Calling on you to address the decadent and unjust modern day enslavement system of Credit that's keeping poor people shackled, enslaved, victimized, traumatized, revictimized, retraumatized in cycle of unending unfair debt ratio/injustice. Why do people have to experience punishment for years due to late payments while our socioeconomic status/structure is biased, broken, old, and unfair. Wr are much more than our credit score, and so much more about us than what the numbers represents. Hardworking Americans can't afford basic quality of life and credit systems are suffocating life and sanity out of us with high interest rates, lengthy block from new credit opportunities. It's time for madness to end and meaningful realistic changes to release financial shackles so people can surviving this highly volatile, prejudiced, hostile, bias social construct. We look forward to your leadership of this reform. #ReformAmericasUnjustCreditSystems #IAmBrettless

Hi NevinBruce, how are You? Traveling on @Amtrak along Hudson River and service is terribly depressing. Will message you when I'm home later and have service to really troubleshoot this with you guys. This is truly unsettling and unacceptable. It's hurting our clientele deeply when we are inaccessible. Will follow-up shortly. Thank You.

@BrettAScudder Hello Brett. We will make sure you have reliable service for the critical work that you do for others. Kindly send us a DM so we can investigate this together. Thank you. ^NevinBruce twitter.com/messages/compo…
