Content Warning: Mental Health and Attempted Suicide

Julian struggles to read a piece about a woman visiting her sister who was admitted into a mental health hospital for being a danger to herself. How is it that sometimes the people we have spent our lives knowing can become suddenly estranged from us? How is it that mental health problems can estrange the sufferers from themselves? 

After the essay, Julian talks about the folks he’s known who have suffered from similar diseases and has a message for those who are currently suffering.
