How I Stayed Alive When My Brain Was Trying to Kill Me: One Person's Guide to Suicide Prevention | Susan Rose Blauner

1 post | 2 read | 5 to read

The statistics on suicide are staggering. According to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in 1997 in the USA more teenagers and young adults died from suicide than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia, influenza and chronic lung disease combined. It is also an international epidemic. Susan Blauner is the perfect emissary for a message of hope and a program of action for these millions of people. She's been though it, and speaks and writes eloquently about feelings and fantasies surrounding suicide.

How I Stayed Alive When My Brain Was Trying to Kill Me: One Person's Guide to Suicide Prevention | Susan Rose Blauner

I thought all day about #aneeyorekindofread for #aprilbookshowers, and I just kept coming back to this one. This is an amazing book that I'm certain helped keep me alive during some of my darkest days. She explains how our brains trick us, (especially those of us with chemical imbalances that cause crippling #depression) and how we can outsmart our brain and get it to, for lack of a better term, STFU.
