Your feelings matter. Your needs matter. You matter.
September is Suicide Prevention Month that’s why this episode is quite different from the rest. If you always find yourself putting everyone else’s feelings and needs first and dismissing your own pain as “unimportant” or “not that deep”, have a listen. Most importantly, think of this episode as a voice note from a friend who sees and appreciates you.
