What would you do if one day, your spouse didn’t think you were you? Different than dementia, Capgras Syndrome is a type of delusion in which you feel as though a loved one has been replaced by an impostor.

This is a chapter from my book, Hardcore Self Help: F**K Depression called “A Chapter About Suicide”. There has been a great deal of mention about suicide recently in the media and on social media. There have also been many questions and misunderstandings about the topic. This chapter is definitely not the end-all-be-all regarding suicide, but it’s supposed to be a tool to help you better understand yourself or a loved one. Many have expressed that they don’t know what to do when a friend is suicidal or how to help people aside from sharing the hotline number. This post is one way you can help. Share this post directly or for everyone on your social media feeds. You never know who is watching. Full written chapter below the video.

This is something that has been on my personal and professional “bucket list” for a while. I have taught classes and given professional lectures, but nothing like this! This was a big production with bright lights, tons of cameras, and a 5 foot red dot that I had to stand in. Needless to say, I was a bit nervous. Add to that the fact that in this talk, I share some information about my personal story that I have not previously shared on such a wide platform and… well this was a big deal for me.
