Warning: This episode includes discussion of intrusive thoughts around self-harm and suicide. So, if you’re struggling with that, or if you’re really not feeling it right now, please look after yourself and take a pass on this one. Otherwise, get yourself a nice cup of tea, and settle in.
You are standing on a viewing platform or waiting on a draughty railway station when an uninvited thought flares behind your eyes: what if you threw yourself over? You had no intention of jumping, yet the sudden jolt of adrenaline turns your stomach over, and you spend the rest of the day terrified that imagining the fall proves you are secretly broken inside.
We love calling it the call of the void because a seductive demon from the abyss is far more flattering than admitting our nervous system simply misfired. In this episode, we pull apart the alibis we invent when our own minds scare us. The drop has no opinion about your soul; the real terror is the discovery that your freedom is completely unbolted, and that good intentions cannot guarantee what you will do next.
