🎧 Listen to this week's podcast at recovery.com/podcasts/giving… Self-doubt can be convincing, but it is not the authority on your worth. Your value does not come from what others think of you, what you accomplish, or how you feel on a difficult day. You matter simply because you are you. #MentalHealth #SelfWorth #YouAreNotAlone #SelfCompassion #HealingJourney

🎧 Listen to this week's podcast at recovery.com/podcasts/giving… What if someone told you they have suicidal thoughts — but they’re not suicidal? In this powerful episode, Wally shares what it’s like to live with daily suicide ideation while actively managing their mental health. We explore the difference between suicidal thoughts and suicide planning, and why reacting with panic can sometimes shut down the very conversations that save lives. If you’ve ever struggled with suicidal thoughts — or supported someone who has — this conversation may change how you think about it. Press play. Listen with an open mind. Share if it resonates.
