In this poignant episode of Giving Voice to Depression, titled "Why You Have to Tell Someone if You're Suicidal," we delve into the critical importance of telling someone if you're struggling with suicidal ideation-- EVEN IF you believe no one cares or any of the other lies that depression is likely telling you.
Our guest Katie, bravely shares her personal experience of planning to end her life and the pivotal moment when she shared her secret and got the love, support and treatment she desperately needed.
Drawing from her account we explore the deceptive nature of depression and the insidious, convincing lies it repeatedly tells those in its grip. Through Katie's story, we confront the dangerous misconception that one can manage these thoughts alone and emphasize the life-saving significance of reaching out for support.
By engaging in an open dialogue about the internal battles many face, we aim to destigmatize conversations surrounding mental health and suicidal ideation to empower listeners to break the silence and seek the help they deserve to live lives worth living.
Join us as we confront the silence surrounding suicidal thoughts, unravel the tangled web of depression's deceit, and champion the transformative power of reaching out in times of despair.
