Breaking the Silence: A Personal Journey Through Suicidal Thoughts
If you're going to talk, definitely do not do it in a normal tone of voice. Well, what I mean is, I don't mean that it's common to talk about it. My point in this is to share that, talk about this difficult subject, and then maybe, at the end, talk about some ways that you can help yourself or help others.

In this deeply personal episode of 'Thru the Wringer with Mike and Jo', Kim Medis opens up about their own experience with suicidal ideation.
