How I LIVE With Wanting to DIE

Our TABOOS are KILLING us! Why can't we talk about Suicide? Why can't we Normalize thinking about suicide, recognize it as a mental disorder like depression that we know we can manage? In fact, it's become more taboo in recent years, despite it becoming a leading cause of death, particularly among young people.After a lifetime of feeling ashamed, of feeling broken, I have decided to step into the light and admit that I have suicidal thoughts. This book tells you how *I* have dealt with this condition - using therapy and a variety of self-care techniques. Told in a candid and conversational style, there's a bit of humor in this book! It's not quite a memoir - I'm not going to tell you all of the traumas in my life that have led me to feel this way. It's not a self-help book, either, because I have sought out and received lots of help! It's more of a guidebook - a possible map - about how to live with this condition.
