Usually when we talk about suicide we say those four magic words: "just ask for help". But Honor Eastly knows it’s not that simple. At times heartbreaking, and desperate – but also darkly funny, and charming, No Feeling Is Final is a story of difference, identity, and why we should stay alive.

02 | The Vast Wasteland

"Hunting for a psychiatrist is a lot like hunting for 'The One'. Only much more expensive and with a tiny dating pool." A desert. A gameshow. A desperate attempt. Miles of red tape.

My son died from depression and this podcast helped me feel less alone. She tells her story so perfectly and describes how difficult it is to get the help that so many desperately need. Thank you for your transparency and for putting yourself out there. I love this podcast.
Thank you 💜

Thank you for being the voice for those of us who are unable to effectively communicate the everyday struggle we have with our minds. You’ve been the first person that has made me not feel alone. I’ve always thought that we suffer sometimes so we can grow strong in certain areas and use that strength to help others.
So excited for this

The preview made me weep with appreciation. I’m so looking forward to this. Thank you Honor Eastly, you make me feel so much less alone.
