WARNING: This video contains sensitive material related to suicide and mental illness.  

As world suicide prevention day is September 10th, I took the time to sit down with Mel instagram.com/mellieyu and discuss having lived with suicidal ideations. We go over how I found my way through dark times and share some coping strategies for anyone living through this or to help support someone you may know.   

There will be a part 2 following this episode where we continue to discuss more coping strategies and what life is like living post suicidal ideations.  It is import to have open conversations around mental health to drop the stigma and lesson the isolation for anyone going through this.  

If you or someone you know are having thoughts of suicide or self-harm or are experiencing a mental health crisis, please call
