Sometimes people can be quite aggressive in their suicidal thoughts towards themselves, but more often that feeling of wanting to die is about just not wanting to live.
What do a podcast host and a legendary England footballer have in common? Martin Pankhurst kicks off this episode of 'Sideways' by sharing his surprising connection with Tony Adams, who famously battled addiction. But the conversation soon shifts to a more somber topic that desperately needs attention—suicide. Graham Landi and Martin navigate this dark terrain with empathy and honesty, discussing why some people feel like they can't go on and the profound impact suicide has on those left behind.
A particularly striking moment comes when they note, 'Sometimes people can be quite aggressive in their suicidal thoughts towards themselves, but more often that feeling of wanting to die is about just not wanting to live'. This episode isn't just about the struggles; it's also about the courage it takes to ask for help and start the journey to recovery. The hosts talk about different forms of therapy and the strength required to take that first step.
They wrap up with a heartfelt call to action, urging listeners to seek help if they need it and to share this important conversation with others. If you've ever grappled with addiction or know someone who has, this episode offers a poignant exploration of these challenging issues.
