We're talking suicide - something that impacts almost everyone with borderline personality disorder in some way. A vast majority of us have experienced suicidal thoughts and as many as 10% of us will die by suicide at some point.

Naturally this episode gets deep and you should listen with care.

In part 1 (of 2) we talk language around suicide, stigma, shame, and start to get into our personal experiences with suicide.

Suicide is a real thing and it's important we talk about it openly. It may be hard, but it's the truth.

• Laurie and Aaron's episode about her suicide crisis in 2024. Part 1 and Part 2
• Kat's poetry book
• Suicide training SafeTALK and ASIST

If you are in an immediate crisis please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. If you need someone to talk to about your suicidal thoughts please call 988 if you are in the US or Canada.

You are loved and we want you to keep living. We promise life gets better and the emotions you are going through will pass.
