Imagine watching someone you love fall into a deep, silent struggle. Picture seeing them withdraw, unable to keep down the meals you once enjoyed together, or losing weight so rapidly that you can see their ribs and spine. It’s heart-wrenching to witness their hidden battles and the fresh cuts on their arms, while they brush it off as 'nothing.' You’re left with a heavy, painful worry: if this continues, what will be the outcome? What comes next? It feels like carrying a crushing blanket of guilt and sadness. In this episode, we're diving deep into these intense feelings and asking a difficult question: Do you see suicide as an act of selfishness?

I couldn’t believe it. My mom and dad got divorced. I was left feeling even more confused than before. At the same time, I felt a sense of relief because the constant battles were over, but I also felt empty. It was like being abandoned by a parent who’s still alive because of things that just happened. I felt powerless, and everything seemed out of my control. Going to my dad’s house felt really good, but when it was time to go back to mom’s house, I felt an unsettling, often nauseous sensation in my stomach, like butterflies but more intense and persistent
