Ever wondered how many silent battles go unnoticed? We covered the unnoticed struggles of passive suicide ideation, often overshadowed by more overt cries for help. 

Psychologist Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison aptly describes suicide as a 'whispered temptation,' inviting those feeling worn-out or disheartened to its quiet door. If you're here, you might resonate with this sentiment.

Life's journey is a rollercoaster of emotions, but sometimes, thoughts of ending it all creep in. Recognizing passive suicide ideation can be challenging; it hides behind neglecting self-care, giving away belongings, or losing interest in future plans. Even our artistic expressions and risk-taking behaviors can hint at inner turmoil.
