The Other Side of Suicide

In todays episode of The Daily EQ Show, Deborah McPhilemy speaks to her brother Roland Rennie about his attempted suicides, and how he learnt to live in peace again.   Roland explains why he became suicidal, what his warning signs were, and the guilt he felt about having suicidal thoughts. Roland opens up about his depression, and how not seeing his children affected him mentally. He discusses the pressures and responsibilities of being a man, dealing with failure and disappointment, and how men have been programmed to define success.  If you are suffering from fear, anxiety, depression or suicidal thoughts then please reach out. You are not alone, and we are here for you. Our ears are yours, and we promise to hear you, and give you the support you need. You can subscribe to our Emotique services where you will have access to qualified Emotional Intelligence coaches 24/7 here: https://www.eqforall.org/emotique/  (This service normally costs £99.99 pm, but we have discounted it to £9.99 pm for this month only!)  Often we are ashamed to feel self-pity, but that is because we have low self worth . Learning to love yourself again starts with realizing your value. Every singe person is important, and the sooner we all accept this, the better our relationships will be with ourselves. There is no shame in feeling depressed, it is a natural human emotion. We need to normalise speaking about difficult emotions ,so that we can create a safe space for anybody to reach out and ask for help if they are struggling. Once we have created this safe space we no longer need to fear rejection, and our mental health issues will have the freedom to be voiced and resolved.
