In this solo episode, I talk about Suicidal OCD, a subtype of OCD in which one may experience obsessions or intrusive thoughts related to suicide.

I also hold space for the importance of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and the importance of speaking openly about a topic that leaves many feeling isolated.

As a disclaimer, this episode is not a replacement for professional support or a place to differentiate between OCD thoughts and suicidal ideation. If you're experiencing thoughts of suicide or feel unsure of what you're experiencing, I encourage you to reach out to a qualified mental health professional who can provide individualized care and assessment or one of the resources below.
