Let's Get MentalAuthor: Macky Suson
Welcome to my podcast, a show where I share my personal experiences, and how I survive my mental health struggles. We can indeed be so brave, strong and indestructible because of how our past experiences moulded us. But the stronger we become, the longer we hold things together, the harder we fall. You are not alone. If you are struggling right now, and there's no one to talk to, please listen to my story, give it another day. Talk to me.

Why Do We Think of Suicide?
Episode 2
Friday, 1 November, 2019
Welcome to my 1st official episode! In this episode, I am talking about my past and personal experiences on why people think about suicide? There are two types of suicidal ideation, Active and Passive. Active suicidal ideation, on the other hand, is not only thinking about it but having the intent to commit suicide, including planning how to do it. Passive suicidal ideation occurs when you wish were dead or that you could die, but you don't actually have any plans to commit suicide. If you are someone who is worried about a friend, partner or family member whom you think has suicidal thoughts, please check some of the common signs: Feeling extremely anxious Acting as if you're saying goodbye to people Accessing the means to kill yourself, such as medication, drugs, or a firearm Engaging in risk-taking behavior like using drugs or having unprotected sex Increased mood swings, anger, rage, and/or irritability An increase in substance use or abuse Giving away possessions Talking about death or suicide Feeling hopeless or trapped Isolating yourself from your loved ones Call 1-800-273-8255 or go to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline's website to talk if you're experiencing suicidal thoughts. They're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for you or a loved one.

I am here for people who are thinking of doing it now, so they don't have to be alone. I know how it feels and I am blessed to have some good people around me when I did it.
