In this deeply important moment from The MisFitNation, Steve and Carol Riggs speak candidly about the dangerous internal battle many people face during suicidal crises.
They remind us of a critical truth backed by research and lived experience:
👉 When people pause, wait, and don’t act on suicidal thoughts, life often improves.
The voice telling someone that ending their life will “make everything better” is not truth—it’s deception. Time, connection, and support save lives. What feels unbearable in one moment does not define the future.
This clip is a powerful call to:
Pause before making permanent decisions
Recognize intrusive thoughts for what they are
Reach out for help and human connection
Hold on—because things can and do get better
If this message reaches even one person who chooses to wait, it matters.
