#30. Why I Didn't Kill Myself with Frank King
TRIGGGERRR WARNING
Guys, were about to get deep and we're about to get dark.. With interestingly, one of the most entertaining speakers that I have spoken to. It is my first time speaking to a TEDX speaker on the show. So this was very exciting for me.
Frank has dealt with something called Chronic suicidal ideation his whole life. Which really scared me when I first heard about it, but a common thing that many people deal with daily. I quote, "My car broke down; I could fix it, buy a new one, or I could just kill myself." A thought that Frank can't help but think in many situations. Why does he think this way? He says it's an issue that is passed through genetics, and something that he has learned to deal with throughout his life. In fact, he thinks its the reason for so much of his success.
We get super deep into mental health, depression, what suicidal thoughts are, and how to deal with situational depression (IE what many people are dealing with during covid). I was at a loss for words many of the time, and I learned so much so I am very thankful for this experience and conversation. All of Franks info is down below!!!
