I met Bruce Simpson on LinkedIn. We connected over grief advocacy, and he shared his unbelievable story: Army veteran, lawyer, and suicide survivor.
(CW/TW: depression & suicide attempt, resources & help).
The pressure lawyers face is brutal. The pressure everyone faces is brutal. Bruce is not keeping quiet about it.
He made a powerful, honest video for the Kentucky Bar Association about his decades-long fight with depression that led to a suicide attempt in 2023.
This isn't just for lawyers. It's for anyone feeling trapped or isolated. It's about how treatment works and how we must stop lying about being "fine."
