Suicide Noted

Hey, I'm Sean. Every year around the world millions of people try to take their own lives and many more think about it - and we almost never talk about it. Like Jimmy, my best friend, who ended his life several years ago. And like me - I've struggled with suicidal ideation for decades. 

I started the Suicide Noted podcast because there was nowhere to talk openly and honestly about any of this, which sucked, and there was nowhere to hear people talking about this, which also sucked. I knew there were others out there like me, living in what I call the space between.

So one summer day in 2020 I sat my ass down at my little kitchen table in Chapel Hill, NC, and started it. These 325 or so in-depth conversations with survivors around the world have changed my life and I hope - even in some small way - they change your life, too.

Some of the realest conversations you will ever hear

I laughed, I cried, I nodded my head in agreement. Real people from all backgrounds and walks of life talking about what it feels like to be human in the context of one of the most stigmatized and least talked about human experiences. Sean Wellington is not an expert or an outsider. He’s just someone who knows how to l...

Loved it!

Loved Olivia’s episode! I especially liked it when you guys talked about how the phrase “you are not alone” is often just total nonsense. It made me realize I’ve definitely been that annoying friend trying to be helpful and failing miserably. Thanks, Sean :)

Necessary work

If you found this podcast, you probably really need to hear it. Sean does great work, giving survivors the opportunity to talk honestly and openly. He wants to help people learn how to talk to people who are in pain, because no one really does that too well. He doesn’t claim to be an expert, he just tries to do it as w...

Honesty and Truths Shared

This is a hopeful and helpful show to talk about suicide which hides in the shadows and pain that is pervasive and ever present. Connections to feel not so alone and disconnected from others. Others experiences and real stories are more helpful to me than advice from people who haven’t lived what they write about.

Very well done podcast.

I’ve listened to almost every episode and it’s always interesting to see how different people deal with a difficult subject. Sean does an excellent job with all his guests.

Apple Podcasts
Thoughtful, Insightful, Informative

Sean manages to take a taboo subject (attempting suicide) and have conversations that are frank, honest, and shows time and again that “suicide attempt survivors” (his words) are normal people. Not just normal, but that we are everywhere and for the most part, you would never know. We are your children, your parents, p...

Thank you Sean for your honesty

I lost my partner, fiance, love of my life, and best friend to suicide on 9/28/2021. Keith never spoke to me about this subject. He had not made any other attempts in the 14 years we were together. He did suffer from depression and possibly bipolar. Hearing these honest conversations with attempt survivors has helpe...
