She Persisted

This week, in honor of Suicide Prevention Month, I talk about my experience with suicidal ideation and how you can help someone struggling. I emphasize how important it is to combat depression and suicidality with connection and validation in addition to asking for help when you need it. I also give advice about what to do if someone near you is feeling suicidal and how to get them help without it being at the expense of your mental health.

Disclaimer: everyone’s experience with depression is different. Ours won’t be the same as another friend’s. Additionally we both severely struggled and isn’t meant to be a bar to compare yourself to. That being said, we hope this helps someone know they’re not alone.

I ask my younger sister how she was impacted by my mental illness. From how the focus of the family shifted to how our relationship has evolved we discuss the highs and lows of the past 2 years.
