Today is world suicide prevention day, I wanted to share some words of mine and movies which deal with mental health/suicide that really have helped me at those times when I felt like there was no way forward. Talking about suicide doesn’t cause it, that’s a common misconception - there is still such a huge stigma around suicide, self harm and mental health; I want to share my experiences on being suicidal and trying to end my life so that anyone else who has felt this way knows that they aren’t alone. The guilt and shame surrounding suicide is overwhelming, I will never forget what I have put my loved ones through (thank you all, I love you so much) but when you are feeling this way you don’t see a way out, you think you’re a burden, I promise that’s not the case, I’m here to say to anyone who is feeling or has ever felt that way you’re not, you are so important, special and loved… there is a light at the end of the tunnel, life is so beautiful and we are so blessed to experience it all - if you’re a sensitive soul (like me too) it can be paralysing sometimes, what you need to do is hold on, speak to loved ones in your life about your emotions and what you’re going through or find a therapist who will help you achieve the tools to deal with life. Just hold on because it gets better, find little things that make you feel grounded like walking in nature, going in the sea, doing a yoga class, reading a self help book, be kind to yourself. Please if you’re worried about yourself or someone in your life call one of the helplines I have listed. I’m not a professional but you can always message me and I’ll do my best and listen. Remember to check in on your loved ones, don’t always expect those who are suicidal to reach out. Many people who are suicidal suffer in silence because they fear being a burden or being judged. Your outreach might be the lifeline someone desperately needs. Together, we can help save lives. Let's break the silence and stigma surrounding suicide. @papyrus_uk #SuicidePrevention #worldsuicidepreventionday 1. Little miss sunshine 3. Captain Fantastic 5. Dead poets society 7.
