In this powerful and raw episode of What’s the Fucking Point?, we dive deep into the lived experience of suicidal ideation and the complex emotional terrain that comes with it—despair, silence, and survival. Alyssa Wright (she/her) is joined by Seth Tyra (they/them) and together explore what hope actually looks like in the darkest moments—not as a shiny promise, but as a gritty, often defiant act. We talk about what resilience really means when the goal isn’t thriving, but simply staying. Sometimes that’s enough. Sometimes that’s everything.

We also touch on the impact of trauma and abuse, and how these experiences shape our relationship to hope, worthiness, and the will to live. This conversation isn’t about toxic positivity—it’s about telling the truth, honoring pain, and staying connected when everything in you wants to disappear.

Whether you’ve lived this experience or love someone who has, this episode holds space for the heaviness and the humanity of it all.
