Recognizing and Addressing Suicide: A Vital Conversation on Sober on Purpose

Suicide is one of the most devastating experiences that can happen in a person's life. It's a long-term solution to a short-term problem, and it may leave loved ones saddened, mystified, and alone.  In this episode, Micahel Marx talks about Suicide, its signs, and how to prevent it. This is a susceptible topic yet very important to spread awareness and save lives.  Some people who commit suicide may seek to escape feelings of rejection, hurt, or loss. Others may be angry, embarrassed, or guilty over something. Some people are concerned about disappointing friends or relatives. Some people may feel unwanted, unloved, mistreated, or burdened by others.  Suicide is avoidable; everyone can help save lives and build healthy, strong people, families, and communities. Suicide prevention involves a multifaceted public health strategy.

And get me very clearly on this point, I want everyone listening to be really clear on this point.” “make suicide conversations normal–  normalize the conversation, because the stigma that we're not allowed to talk about it, that's what keeps people isolated. “   #suicidal #depression #sad #depressed #anxiety #suicide #broken #mentalillness #alone #mentalhealth #lonely #sadness #mentalhealthawareness <a href="https://best-hashtags.com/hashtag/selfharm/">#selfharm</a>
