Episode 027: How do you find hope when your brain feels like your worst enemy? Can humor actually help battle depression and suicide?

In this deeply powerful and surprisingly funny episode of Don't Mind Me, I'm Different!, I sit down with Frank King — The Mental Health Comedian — a stand-up comic and suicide prevention speaker and coach who’s been there... and come back with stories that save lives.

Frank opens up about:

✅ Surviving generational depression & suicidal ideation
✅ Using comedy to connect with others struggling with mental health
✅ Why neurodivergent minds process the world in unique — and valuable — ways
✅ How to actually help someone dealing with suicidal thoughts (what to say and NOT say)
✅ Why resilience isn’t what you think it is

If you or someone you love is navigating ADHD, depression, or dark days, this conversation offers humor, hope, and real tools to hold onto.
