Facing Suicide: Let’s Talk, produced by Twin Cities PBS, creates a space of understanding, hope, and action for young people whose lives have been impacted by suicide, including those who have experienced a suicidal crisis and the loved ones, peers, and community who support them. In each episode host/therapist Shani Tran brings a question to the group that has either dealt with suicidal ideation or an attempt, to get their insights and advice on how to navigate the complexities of a topic that can feel overwhelming. How hope and healing have brought them to a place of stability where they can manage their mental health and use their stories to connect with others and continue to spread that hope.

I feel like the kind of help I'm searching for doesn't exist in this world. That's why I feel so sad and lonely and wanting just to leave this world. I don't feel like I fit in this world, like there's no place for me in this world.
-
“I’m so low I’m so down I don’t want to be here and I don’t want to bother someone else” that rings for me
-
I just want the pain to stop! I want to stop feeling like im drowning all the time 😢
-
I thought it was weird nobody mentioned this so I will. Sometimes you don't want help. It's a messed up mind set to have but I know from experience that it happens. I remember waiting so long to talk about it with anyone (other than joking about it; suicidal people are pretty hilarious) because I didn't want to get better. I didn't want a stranger to make me like living, because I legitimately thought I'd be better off dead. It is still a battle and a lot of the time the only reason I bother fighting it is that I don't want to make a fuss for the people around me. Never underestimate the human ability to be masochistic.

Im here for my dog. He is so sweet and innocent that I couldn't bear leaving him alone
-
I feel like no one takes me serious or understands just how much pain I'm in until I actually do it... Like it feels like ppl think I talk about suicide just for attention... My sister knows, but no one else gets it.
-
"You are loved" Could someone tell that to my brain please? No matter how many times I hear it, it's as if my brain still isn't convinced.
-
Almost as soon as this video started, I was bawling. I've lived with suicidal thoughts for 30 years and I have always felt so alone with them. Hearing others talk honestly about their experiences helps me know that I am not alone. Thank you.
-
I am no longer asking for help because I dont feel like there's anything anyone can do to help me, and they dont care anyway. My doctor sent me to the ER for a heart issue a few weeks ago & I was treated horribly there. The ER nurses couldn't have cared less if I lived or died...so I am certainly not going to ask them for mental health help. I was hoping I would just have a heart attack & get it over with & die. I've seen counselors since I was 19 years old & been on meds since my 20's & it never gets better.
-
No one hears you. I am 55 and I think of it everyday. But then I am scared that I will come back in my left life living the same life. I daily pray that I don't wake up the next day morning. God please come and take me with you.
-
It's the feeling of being so alone with people who love you.
-
I have been suicidal for 9 years and I have only ever verbally admitted it to four people: two therapists, my mother, and my boyfriend. It is a hard thing to talk about and I have always felt so isolated. Thank you for making this video.
-
A truth I learnt the hard way Never share your problems with anybody. 20% don't care about them and 80% are glad you have them.
-
What if the trigger for suicidal ideation is based on the concept of being alone... not feeling comfortable around others? It feels like a lot of these solutions are centered around connecting and hanging out with someone. What if you can't even bring yourself to do that?
-
Quality of help depends on your income level and where you live.

I feel down and hopeless. I was driving home from work yesterday and felt like I wanted to run my car into a rock wall. I don’t have anyone to talk to except my husband and he gets mad and feels like I’m attacking him if I talk about how I’m feeling. He makes it all about him. So I don’t want to tell him how I feel because at least then we don’t argue but it doesn’t help how I’m feeling inside.
-
I feel like I just don’t want to be here on earth anymore, like there just has to be a better place and way of being. I don’t want to hurt myself or cause pain to my loved ones, I simply just don’t want to be in this reality. Can anybody relate?
-
I called a suicide hotline in Canada before i attempted suicide, and they were very unconcerned. They even had the nerve to ask me to complete a survey of how they did!
-
There's nothing really bad going on in my life, but I just feel mentally and physically tired.
