In 2023, I wrote about being a psychiatrist who lived with suicidal ideation and the need for our society to discuss suicidality openly to decrease stigma.
In April 2025, I wrote about the framework I used to notify others, create goals to keep me alive, cultivate self-love, and radically accept my suicidality when it arose.
In August 2025, I wrote about the framework I use to turn each and every suicidal thought from a seemingly insurmountable force into solvable components.
Today, we move forward in my narrative.
This time, I write to you all to share the four steps I use to navigate and continue my healing journey in the months after my suicidality goes into remission.
Honored to publish in @medpagetoday with my newest piece, “Living After Suicidality: A Physician’s Framework for Healing After Their Suicidality Goes into Remission.”
So much love and gratitude to @genevievefri for the stellar edits along with the thoughtfulness and care she put into collaborating on this article.

Responding to a recent New York Times guest essay, child and adolescent psychiatrist Chase T. M. Anderson explains why "queer" better reflects their identity, politics, and vision for LGBTQ+ liberation. advocate.com/opinion/queer-n…
Six years ago, I wrote in The New England Journal of Medicine about taking back and finding my voice as a Black, gay person in academia.
Six years later, I have found that voice as a Black, queer person in America.
Honored to publish in @theadvocatemag with my newest piece:
“Why I’m Queer, Not Gay - And Why It Matters.”

Sending love to trans kids who just want to play sports with their friends at school.
Keep fighting.
Keep fighting against racism.
Keep fighting against gerrymandering.
Keep fighting for that peaceful world.
Keep fighting.
We love you, everyone fighting for fairness and justice in Tennessee.
~ Love,
Your Black, queer child and adolescent psychiatrist.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility.
Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.
Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.
We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

Happy Tr@ns Day of Visibility! Today is also a tough day for the news. Make sure you’re spending time with people who make you feel loved today. ❤️
We clean up nice. So much love for @EdwinBrower and Eric getting married and for how they continually show that love can be life-changing. Honored to be a groomsperson for these two superstars. Grateful to be alive to be part of this event with friends who have been family for so many years now.🌙🐦🔥💖🦄🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🦸🏽♂️✊🏽

Hi the news cycle is awful but I’m alive and chugging along with work and drinking chia smoothies.

Hopefully this isn’t needed but are there a few people in the #Medicine community who students who don’t match can contact? I applied #EM
I’m hoping for the best but preparing for #soap just in case.

Board game night with family.
We were born to have fun(damental rights) as queer people.
We were born to be cute queers who aren’t continually fighting for our rights and enjoy a peaceful life instead.
In all the chaos in the world, it has been magical to be with this group where we can discuss the world, take on what’s happening in our own ways, and also take time to breathe together and simply exist.
We all get through this together, and I couldn’t ask for better people to be beside as we heal our society (this includes all of you).
I love you all so much,
Eternally your Sailor Moon.🌙💖🐦🔥🦄🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🦸🏽♂️✊🏽
