If you are in a tough place and even thinking about suicide, please listen to this

I’ve been off for a few weeks and no podcasts have been uploaded recently. The main reason was some devastating news I received.  I lost a friend to suicide. A friend I had known for nearly 30 years. Someone I thought would be the last person to take his own life.

If you find yourself even thinking about taking your own life, then please take a few minutes and listen to this episode.

You are not alone. There are people who can and will help. Life does change and will change for the better. Please talk to someone and tell them how really feel and what you are thinking. This the first step and people will step forward who can help.

There are also many places you can reach out to for help and support. If you are in the UK, below are some organisations you can call if you don’t want to speak to anyone close to you at this point:
