suicidal ideations

Welcome back to That Entrepreneur Show! This week, we bring on an inspiring story with Nigel Thomas!

"The relentless bullying at school. 
The battle with my own demons.
A loss that nearly cost me my life.
Striving through constant setbacks to command my own destiny."

Nigel Thomas will not only encourage you to take a leap of faith and help you avoid becoming complacent, but will share:

• How he scaled his agency from 0 to 7 figures in less than 2 years
• Why he spent $100M on ads while growing DTC brands
• Ways he already grew to 42k+ followers on LinkedIn in 2024

The relentless bullying at school.
 
The battle with my own demons.
 
A loss that nearly cost me my life.
 
Striving through constant setbacks to command my own destiny.
 
Have all led to this.
 
Areas discussed with Nigel Thomas include:

• How to cope with losing someone who believed in you most
• How to build self-belief
• The importance of finding your community
• Focus on inputs and tracking your progress
• FREE Weekly newsletter that takes 50 hours to complete to make an impact for you
• Going with the flow

More on our guest: In September 2023, I surpassed a promise I made two years ago to take a company to $100,000/month in revenue. The key? Dreaming like a giant but fighting like an underdog.
 
Guided by the gift of self-belief that one woman gave me. The same woman who cut me off overnight and left me contemplating suicide. But the self-belief she instilled remains a guiding force.
 
It’s the very gift that led David to defeat the mighty Goliath with just a slingshot and a few pebbles.

The greatest underdog story of all time.
 
Through the David to Goliath newsletter, I’m here to rally individuals rejected by society who know deep down they’re destined for greatness.
 
Giving up a 6-figure salary, I’m laying bare my soul and putting everything on the line, to help entrepreneurs tear down the walls of rejection, smash through their personal barriers, and claim their place at the top of the mountain.
 
The newsletter unravels the raw, uncut life of an entrepreneur, as well as stories of triumph from the greatest leaders of our generation.

After being hospitalized for a week, Tanushree gets diagnosed with dysthymia. Then things got messy. Unintentionally triggering friends. Fighting with parents about using medication. And what self-care looks like right now. Tanushree is a fellow mental health advocate in the South Asian community. She shares her experiences being forced into a psych ward and then learning how to manage her mental well-being. 

“When you talk about destigmatizing, you really have to talk about culture” - Tanushree

No one likes to talk about suicide. It makes us uncomfortable and feel exposed; we feel like we have a giant spotlight on us telling us to talk about our own experiences with suicidal ideation. No one likes to feel naked or put on the spot, so we deflect. But what good does that do? What good does it do when these conversations are usually brought up before, during, or after someone’s own struggle with suicidal ideation?

In this episode, Romig will encourage you that you aren’t alone in your struggle, how to find reasons to live, how to manage suicidal ideations, and much more The only way to eliminate the stigma around suicide is to stop deflecting and start talking. 

WELCOME BACK to A Mental Health Break. This is the show where mental health advocates and professionals worldwide share their stories, advice, and "WHY" relating to mental health.

In February 1996, Jeff Romig's father died by suicide.

Until that moment, there was no sign that his father had been contemplating suicide. Steve Romig was always so driven. Hard-working. Successful. No sign of the inner turmoil of anxiety and depression Jeff was also feeling at 18 years old.

In Don’t F*cking Kill Yourself, Jeff Romig details his own battles against anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation while sharing his stories about the people, passions, and experiences that have kept him alive through mental illness, divorce, alcoholism, cancer, and the legacy of his father's suicide.

What is it like to have suicidal ideations? Kristy relapsed into depression and none of her usual depression management strategies worked. We talk about her obsessive behaviour to escape reality, using hentai to boost serotonin, different methods of seeking help, and taking medical leave to improve her mental health. **CONTENT WARNING: Suicide**   

Highlights:

• Obsession with the Hunger Games trilogy as a means to escape reality 
• Obsession with hentai to trigger serotonin and endorphins  
• Thinking about death when waiting for egg tarts  
• Separating between yourself from the illness (depression)  
• How Kristy travels the world during a global pandemic  

Takeaways:

• You're the only person to advocate for your health  
• The privilege we have is external, what we do with that privilege is internal   
• If the 1st few healthcare professionals didn't work out, don't give up on seeking help  
• Let go of expectations for tomorrow; just be where you are today  
• Vocalizing your depression can be liberating and validates your pain  
• Not everyone has the capacity to support your mental health journey, but it doesn't mean no one can

Angie shares a traumatic event that happened to her shortly after beginning her new life in Canada with her parents. We discuss how the coping mechanisms we develop as children to repress trauma can develop into toxic behaviours later in life. Content warning: suicide.

Highlights: 

• Reliance on alcohol to numb emotional pain
• Kristy can do math 
• When young Angie decided to walk into traffic 
• The loneliness of emigrating to a new country

Takeaway: 

• Try more than one counsellor or therapist  
• Our learned behaviours from a young age can turn problematic in adulthood, and  therapists can help us understand and manage these behaviours 
• Allow self-compassion and allow yourself to grieve the loss of a former life or routine 

Let Kristy & Angie what cringy and uncomfortable conversation topics you would like to listen to!
