20. Suicide

In this episode, we discuss: the origins of suicidal thoughts, a bit of my own personal experience with suicidal thoughts/actions, how to handle suicidal thoughts, what to do if you feel suicidal, how a life that is better than you can imagine really is possible for you--even if that seems out of reach to you in this moment and a whole lot more. I hope this episode is helpful for you, and please don't hesitate to reach out to me via email if you need someone to talk to. My email is [email protected] and I will always reply.
