If you're thinking about suicide, it's okay not to be okay- and that you're not alone and that there are caring people out there that are willing to talk to you.
When it comes to the delicate topic of suicide prevention, silence can be deadly. In this heartfelt episode of 'Our Story Isn't Over', hosts Aaron Zimmerman, Tristan Schnoke, and Zack Karenchak lay bare their personal battles with mental health and substance abuse. This isn't just another clinical discussion; it's a raw, honest conversation that aims to shatter the stigma around these critical issues.
The episode kicks off with a crucial trigger warning and an urgent reminder: if you're grappling with suicidal thoughts, seek help immediately. The national suicide hotline is 1(800) 273-8255, and the national suicide text line is 741741. From there, the hosts dive into their own experiences, discussing the importance of open dialogue and the strength it takes to reach out for support.
They tackle the often-taboo subject of suicide head-on, breaking down risk factors and warning signs while emphasizing the importance of close relationships. The episode also offers a treasure trove of resources for those in need, reminding listeners that it's okay not to be okay and that there are people who genuinely care and are ready to listen. By sharing their stories, Aaron, Tristan, and Zack provide a beacon of hope and a call to action: let's talk about it.
Tune in for a conversation that could make all the difference.
