We're breaking up the COVID dialogs for learning Cantonese and Mandarin with this side trip into talking about suicide. You won't be hearing about how to kill yourself, or treating such feelings, or endorsing offing yourself; instead you'll hear a casual and frank conversation with someone on the brink of self destruction.

While you're still able to, do the research to find good resources, if not for yourself, for someone you wanna help. All the best.
