Mein Name ist Elisa Roth.Meine Mutter hat sich 2002 das Leben genommen. Da war ich 27.Ich habe meine Geschichte aufgeschrieben.Diese lese ich in der 1. und 2. Folge vor.TEIL 1 IST LEIDER AUFGRUND DER NACHTRÄGLICHEN BEARBEITUNG NICHT MEHR IN DER CHRONOLOGISCHEN ABFOLGE. SIE IST NUN NACH FOLGE 96 ZU FINDEN. Ab Folge 3 berichten andere Betroffene von Suizid über ihr Erlebtes und ihre Erfahrungen. TRIGGER-WARNUNG !!! DA HIN UND WIEDER SEHR OFFEN UND DETAILLIERT ÜBER VERSCHIEDENE ASPEKTE (ZB. ART DES SUIZIDES) BERICHTET WIRD, SOLLTEN MENSCHEN, DIE EMPFINDLICH AUF DARSTELLUNGEN DIESER ART REAGIEREN, GEGEBENENFALLS VOM HÖREN DIESES PODCASTS ABSEHEN.Bis einschließlich Folge 16 hieß dieser Podcast 'Das ist ja wohl eine Unverschämtheit'. Da der Titel doch etwas sehr lang, umständlich, teils missverständlich und einfach etwas sperrig war, habe ich ihn zu 'Selbstwort' geändert.Er impliziert, dass Betroffene von Suizid selbst zu Wort kommen, wie auch das Wort 'Selbstwert' und wenn man den Buchstaben 'W' aus Selbstwort auf den Kopf stellt (wie auch das Leben eines jeden Betroffenen für immer völlig auf den Kopf gestellt ist), dann bekommt man das Thema des Podcasts. Aus Respekt vor allen Betroffenen, die dieses Wort ablehnen, nenne ich es eben nicht. Ich finde dennoch, dass es die Brutalität, die Härte und den lebensverändernden Schrecken gut widerspiegelt. Natürlich ist der Erkrankte kein Mörder. Aber die Depression ist es. Daher erlaube ich mir, mit diesem Wort zu spielen.Wenn du auch unmittelbar betroffen bist und mir deine Geschichte vor meinem Mikrophon erzählen möchtest, dann freue ich mich von Herzen, wenn du dich unter mail@selbstwort.com meldest.Das Tabu-Thema Depressionen und Suizid MUSS endlich unter dem Deckmantel des Schweigens hervorgeholt werden. Es MUSS darüber mehr gesprochen werden. Und das möchte ich mit eurer Hilfe erreichen! Traut euch und meldet euch bei mir. Ich habe auch meine Scheu überwunden und mein Erlebtes hier erzählt. Ich freue mich auf eure Nachrichten!Wenn du Hilfe suchst, wende dich an www.agus-selbsthilfe.de.AGUS Angehörige um Suizid e.V. ist die bundesweite Selbsthilfeorganisation für Trauernde, die einen nahe stehenden Menschen durch Suizid verloren haben und ist in Europa der größte und älteste Verein, der sich für die Belange und Interessen Suizidtrauernder einsetzt.
