CAUTION: This episode involves a graphic description of a suicide attempt by strangulation.
This past week, a young sophomore from my Alma Mater, Ball State University, was found dead in his dorm room, after tragically taking his own life. His last tweet, and the story of his passing, inspired me to reflect on this podcast and my own life experiences with mental illness and my own personal story with suicide.
This is a change of pace from our normal episodes. It's just me, your host, musing about my own personal thoughts and experiences. It may crash and burn as an episode, but my hope is that this raw look at my own life will help inspire others to seek the help that I eventually found, and, unfortunately, so many others never do.
