Description

In the Season 3 premiere, Lexi shares an update on their current mental state and their own experience with suicidal ideations. They also acknowledge that as a society, just sharing a post or having a ribbon is not suicide prevention. Rather, that real fundamental change of the oppressive capitalistic regime in which we live is the only true path to liberation and suicide prevention. 

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode heavily discusses suicidal ideation and suicide attempts.
