Description
How I Stayed Alive When My Brain Was Trying to Kill Me: One Person’s Guide to Suicide Prevention is addressed mostly to readers struggling with suicidal thoughts; in it, author Susan Rose Blauner shares her struggles with suicide ideation and the tricks that she used to “outthink” and overcome her own suicidal thoughts. After a brief personal introduction, Blauner gets into twenty-five “tricks of the trade” that have helped her survive, including forming a crisis plan, identifying and tracking her feelings, meditating, keeping a journal, therapy, and serving others. Next, there is a section of letters from Blauner’s therapist, family, and friends, and another section about what a suicidal thinker’s friends and loved ones can do to help them.
