Today is World Suicide Prevention Day and I want you all to take a minute of your day to think about all those affected by and lost to suicide.
In 2016, 5688 people in the U.K. and ROI took their own lives through suicide caused by mental illness. The saddest thing is it’s preventable given the right support and intervention.
Please reach out to friends and family if they’re feeling poorly, remind them that someone will miss them, they’re important to someone and suicide doesn’t end the pain, it just passes it on to someone else. I’ve lost a friend to suicide and her death will stay with me 💖
I always used to be ashamed of my mental illness that caused me so much drama and cost me so much but nowadays I think that I went through a really rough time and I’m quite proud I got out of it. I’m a survivor.
On that note, it’s also been 5 months since I relapsed….I’m allowed to be proud of myself, I’ve come a long way 💖
