That could be a can of worms that get me booted out of both camps&#8230;and maybe I&#8217;m fine with that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The research shows that many people who take their lives do it not from a long, planned out event, but from an impulsive and desperate act done after a big setback, humiliation or disappointment (or string of them) that leaves them feeling hopeless. Depress can be a factor, but many people who are depressed do not kill themselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MAKE SURE YOU LISTEN to the EPISODE this periscope is REFERRING to with Jennifer Michael Hecht.
