Caution - this episode contains some details of suicides that happened when I worked at Amec Foster Wheeler in Kuwait. If you need it, these are helplines you can call for the top 5 most popular countries for this newsletter:


  1. USA: 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
  2. UK: 111 for the NHS.
  3. Canada: 988 for the Suicide Crisis Helpline.
  4. Australia: 1300 22 4636 for Beyond Blue.
  5. India: 9820466726 for Aasra.
