Before You Kill Yourself: a suicide prevention podcast.

We discuss Netflix's decision to cut a scene depicting suicide from the show "13 Reasons Why;" How to deal with feelings of regret; and how to be authentic.

We discuss why relationships are only 20/20, not 50/50. We also discuss why it's important to view your emotional fears and anxieties as sandstorms. Lastly we discuss how "cookies" can help you lose weight.Suicide Prevention Center (Los Angeles)877-727-4747National Suicide Prevention Lifeline800-273-TALK [800-273-8255]1-800-SUICIDE [800-784-2433]Teen Line (Los Angeles)800-852-8336The Trevor Project (LGBTQ Youth Hotline)866-488-7386National Domestic Violence Hotline800-799-SAFE [800-799-7233]Crisis Text LineText "Connect" to 741741 in the USALifeline Chathttps://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/chat/
