Surviving the Suicidal Thoughts Storm
⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains a discussion around suicidal thoughts. Please take care while listening and seek support if you need it.
Living with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) isn’t just painful—it’s punishing. It hijacks your body, messes with your mind, and turns everyday tasks into uphill battles. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Jeannette Tashjian for a brutally honest conversation about what it really means to live with relentless, unpredictable pain.
They talk about the parts most people don’t see: the mental spiral, the isolation, the weight of explaining yourself over and over, and the moments when giving up feels like the only option. But they also talk about what keeps them going—connection, infrared sauna therapy, self-advocacy, and the power of simply being heard.
This episode doesn’t sugarcoat anything. From navigating life with a disability to confronting the stigma around suicidal thoughts, Jeannette and Lyndsay lay it all out. They speak from the gut—about grief, about resilience, and about finding pieces of joy in a body that feels like it’s working against you.
If you’ve ever felt like no one understands what you’re going through—or if you love someone who lives with chronic pain—this conversation will hit home.
Tune in for the truth behind CRPS, and the reminder that you’re not alone in this fight.
