Your suicidal thoughts are not facts.

CW: Suicide. We need to talk about suicide a hell of a lot more than we do now. This is part 2 of my short series on talking about suicide and my thoughts on spiritual leader Teal Swan's suicide advice (which I learned about by listening to the fantastic podcast The Gateway = https://tinyurl.com/yc2j9w3e). I do go into some of my suicide attempts and why I am CERTAIN that suicidal thoughts are not your body's way of telling you to move on to the next life. If you are feeling suicidal or hopeless, watch this. If you have recently overcome suicidal thoughts but are still feeling shaky, maybe skip it. I do go into some details about the response that the body has to overdosing. I think it's important for people to know this. I recently learned that 90% of suicide survivors regret their suicide mid attempt. This was my experience as well. If you are living with suicidal thoughts, just know how strong you are for fighting your brain every day. It's so exhausting. Much love, Sarah.
