No one likes to talk about suicide. It makes us uncomfortable and feel exposed; we feel like we have a giant spotlight on us telling us to talk about our own experiences with suicidal ideation. No one likes to feel naked or put on the spot, so we deflect. But what good does that do? What good does it do when these conversations are usually brought up before, during, or after someone’s own struggle with suicidal ideation?
In this episode, Romig will encourage you that you aren’t alone in your struggle, how to find reasons to live, how to manage suicidal ideations, and much more The only way to eliminate the stigma around suicide is to stop deflecting and start talking.

In February 1996, Jeff Romig's father died by suicide.
Until that moment, there was no sign that his father had been contemplating suicide. Steve Romig was always so driven. Hard-working. Successful. No sign of the inner turmoil of anxiety and depression Jeff was also feeling at 18 years old.
In Don’t F*cking Kill Yourself, Jeff Romig details his own battles against anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation while sharing his stories about the people, passions, and experiences that have kept him alive through mental illness, divorce, alcoholism, cancer, and the legacy of his father's suicide.
