  • Suicidal thoughts are among the most terrifying and taboo experiences a person can have.

  • For some, they stem from a deep emotional pain and the desire to end their suffering.

  • And for others, they're intrusive, unwanted, deeply ego-distonic hallmarks of suicidal OCD.

  • But how can you tell the difference?

  • And how can you respond with compassion, skill, and care when it's happening?

  • Today I'm joined by the incredibly brave and insightful Tracy Abraham also known as Tabu Tracy,

  • an advocate and survivor who has lived experience with both suicidal OCD and real suicidal ideation.

  • Together,

  • we're peeling back the stigma and breaking down the critical differences

  • because some lives truly depend on it.
