“I pulled the trigger… and then I woke up.”
Zach survived a suicide attempt that should have killed him, and came back with a mission to live differently. In this powerful episode of The Resilience Files: Unlocked, he shares what it’s like to live with the consequences of that moment, how he’s healing emotionally and physically, and why he wants to help others who feel like they’ve hit rock bottom.
This story is raw, honest, and deeply human. If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone.
