Here are some helplines if you feel triggered by this episode •TALK SUICIDE CANADA #1-833-456-4566 (45645 for text) •SUICIDE & CRISIS LIFELINE in America #988 to connect with a local Suicide prevention helpline •UK SUICIDE PREVENTION PHONE LINE #0800-689-5652. In this episode, we talk about the differences between Passive suicidal ideation and Active suicidal thoughts. We discuss some of the reasons people might choose to commit suicide, as well as how prevalent suicidal thoughts can be for people living with BPD. Many of us living with trauma will experience suicidal ideation - especially during times of heightened emotional distress - but we need to find people we can trust to speak only about what we are experiencing and even set a safety plan in place if we feel like we cannot handle our own inner thoughts. There should never be shame associated with speaking openly so I hope this conversation can help you to feel motivated to seek professional help if that is what you need. I want you to be here with me so feel free to reach out at any point over on my instagram @journey.bound and I can send you some resources or helplines. We are in this life together and I hope you know how important you are 🖤
