#31BlackSails D30: what BS inspired in your life.
Having struggled to survive chronic depression and suicide since childhood, I saw my silent pain in Flint& #39;s eyes, and that recognition changed everything.
If this feels relatable, please open this thread. I have a gift for you.

Over the past several years, Black Sails inspired me to look at mental processes in a new way:
Our body is like a ship at sea, and our brains are her crew.
Like a crew, our brains are not one unit but a group that must work together to keep their ship afloat.

"Trust is the basis of a healthy ship," says Flint, but Black Sails shows us what happens when a captain doesn& #39;t trust his men, and the men don& #39;t trust him:
always one more storm in a long line of storms. Some of them ship killers.
And when a ship sinks, her crew dies.

That& #39;s no different for the Ship Inside Your Head: they can argue, but at the end of the day, your Crew - your brains - are literally in the same boat.
They need to work together to keep your Ship afloat - keep your body alive.
But what if they WANT to sink their own Ship?

To answer @tobynews challenge question, this is what Black Sails inspired:
"When Ships Want To Sink"- A Guide on Surviving Depression & Suicide
a video course explains how depression warps your mind, why someone becomes suicidal, and a ton of techniques to help you survive.
