I’m a suicide survivor. I have survived multiple attempts, most before I went into treatment, and one due to my mishandling a med change (my fault). Very few people know this, so it will cause a stir in my community, but it’s important for me to tell my story. #SuicidePrevention
I tried twice durning my teens and once in my 30’s. I’m “out of the closet” with my mental health, even talking to my students about it, but I don’t talk about this with anyone. I don’t talk about it because people have zero idea how to respond.
It’s a conversation killer, talk about bringing the party down. I would not even know where to begin, and so I don’t. My wife knows, my doctors know, but I don’t think anyone else does. So, this will come as a shock to some and will make others angry and for that, I’m sorry.
