We’re excited to share that THE S WORD is now streaming for free on the Documentary+ platform. We are grateful to our friends at Documentary+ for the great venue to continue showing the powerful stories of those who’ve dealt with suicide and so many who can now tell their paths of survival and triumph.
In the spirit of spreading the word and becoming more involved, I am checking into the potential of making my book, Insane Success, a documentary.
Here’s the order of major events beginning in 1985.
– 14 years on the corporate ladder
– 1 week enjoying career job
– Merger announcement
– 1 year in bad j hyob to keep good pay
– Voluntary (ha!) separation package
– 5 years chasing past career success
– Attempted suicide
– 1 year in a toxic work environment
– Finally escape employment hell
– 15 years of Hope
If I hadn’t eventually taken huge financial, career, status loss as better than the loss of my sanity I would have done 1 of 3 things.
1. Retaliated (workplace violence)
2. Gone mad (psych facility placement)
3. Died by suicide (another statistic)
And it all began with a “merger of equals” (ha!).
