Mein Name ist Elisa Roth. Meine Mutter hat sich 2002 das Leben genommen. Da war ich 27. Ich habe meine Geschichte aufgeschrieben. Diese lese ich in der 1. und 2. Folge vor. Ab Folge 3 berichten andere Betroffene von Suizid über ihr Erlebtes und ihre Erfahrungen. TRIGGER-WARNUNG !!! DA HIN UND WIEDER SEHR OFFEN UND DETAILLIERT ÜBER VERSCHIEDENE ASPEKTE (ZB. ART DES SUIZIDES) BERICHTET WIRD, SOLLTEN MENSCHEN, DIE EMPFINDLICH AUF DARSTELLUNGEN DIESER ART REAGIEREN, GEGEBENENFALLS VOM HÖREN DIESES PODCASTS ABSEHEN. Bis einschließlich Folge 16 hieß dieser Podcast "Das ist ja wohl eine Unverschämtheit". Da der Titel doch etwas sehr lang, umständlich, teils missverständlich und einfach etwas sperrig war, habe ich ihn zu "Selbstwort" geändert. Er impliziert, dass Betroffene von Suizid selbst zu Wort kommen, wie auch das Wort "Selbstwert" und wenn man den Buchstaben "W" aus Selbstwort auf den Kopf stellt (wie auch das Leben eines jeden Betroffenen für immer völlig auf den Kopf gestellt ist), dann bekommt man das Thema des Podcasts. Aus Respekt vor allen Betroffenen, die dieses Wort ablehnen, nenne ich es eben nicht...

episode 42: Selbstwort - English test-version- Elisas story part 1
Episode 1 - Elisas Story
Welcome to the 1st episode in English.
This podcast is about suicide. People who are affected by suicide tell their story, talk about their experiences and everything that goes with their respective situation.
My name is Elisa Roth and I am someone who is affected myself. My mother took her own life in 2002 when I was 27. Since the topic of suicide and talking about it is still a taboo, I came up with the idea for this podcast. Because those affected want to talk. They want to tell their story. And they should - loud and clear and audible for everyone.
I would like to request you listeners, if you are also directly affected by suicide, send me an email so that you too can tell me your story.
In the first 3 episodes I will tell you my story. I started writing it down almost 5 years ago. I will read this text in the first few episodes so that you can find out who I am and what my story is.
2 years ago I created exactly this podcast in German. And what I triggered with it is still overwhelming and can hardly be put into words. Those of you who are interested in the German version can find it under the title “Selbstwort” wherever there are podcasts.
I'm not a native speaker. A long long time ago I lived in England for a few years and studied there. I was in a relationship with an English guy for 5 years..Unfortunately, my English is a bit rusty now and not as fluent and practiced as it was then. But I hope you'll forgive me for that.
Before you hear my story, consider the subject of this podcast. Since I keep mentioning my mother's chosen method of suicide and also recounting how I saw her again before the funeral, people who are sensitive to it might want to refrain from listening to this episode.
Also in all future episodes everything is often told down to the smallest detail- as it really was and still is today. Because in my opinion this is the only way to contribute to clarification of the subject „suicide“ and the removal of taboos.
This is the first of three parts of my story.
