Disclaimer:
Part of today’s show includes our guest sharing a time of struggle, when she considered ending her life. Obviously she didn’t, and we spend the majority of the episode on other topics, including some of the strategies she used to move past that stage, and being a mom with ADHD. But I want to be mindful of my listeners, so I’m telling you in advance. That said, I also recognize that shying away from such topics doesn’t help anyone.
People consider suicide when their emotional pain overwhelms their coping resources, often when they are in the depths of depression.
If you, or someone you know, is considering suicide:
- Please call the national suicide hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
- Text “HOME” to 741741
