Mental Health

Post by Which Tyler »

Just found out that a friend from Uni committed suicide last week.
I've been there - I only survived childhood through incompetence, and early-adulthood though an understanding fiancée (even though it broke us) and tutor.

This post is just to say - if anyone here is suffering from dark thoughts - you don't have to suffer in silence.
If you don't want to seem weak, or be medicated, or risk sectioning, or professional help, or to talk to IRL friends - please, reach out to someone, even the Samaritans.
Hell, reach out to me - if you want that anonymity, and have no-one else, send me a PM.

It's okay to be not okay.

Sorry to hear about your friend, that's a heavy blow to take.

These feel like dark times, but I would echo your words, talking to someone, anyone; it really helps. You're not alone, any of you.
It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
