I Didn’t Want To Die, I Just Wanted The Pain To End

The conversation around mental health changes now.

Shane Kelton knows what it’s like to suffer. He knows what it’s like to be at war with his own mind. He knows what it’s like to lose that fight. But he also knows what it’s like to turn it all around.

After surviving a suicide attempt at age 21, Shane made it his life’s mission to find a better way to overcome the pain and suffering he and so many others face.

In a raw and candid account of his own mental health journey, from his earliest memories to his most recent revelations, Shane holds nothing back as he seeks to educate and empower sufferers and caregivers alike, sharing critical lessons, insights, and tools.

If you’re looking for dry, clinical advice, you’ll need to look elsewhere. This book is a practical, accessible, easily digestible guide to mental health that draws on decades of Shane’s acquired knowledge and lived experience.

Brutally honest. Intensely moving. Profoundly eye-opening. I Didn’t Want to Die, I Just Wanted the Pain to End is where the new conversation around mental health starts. Because there’s always a better way.
