I lost a husband and a son-in-law. My husband's and I had two young children and my son-in-law had three young ones. I'm sorry for your loss and I hope one day you can find peace in all you do.

      What happens when the BBC is to blame for the child suicide?
      What happens when the crown decrees raise them on lies and illusions?
      Media's are worse then Psychopaths who bring fantasy to reality and ACT upon them....
      Television and liarsvision and they question why some children can't handle all the lies and illusions and self destruct...
      It's not hard to see media's influence as they admit they control the thoughts of children....
      I thought it was peculiar to have life among a world of fools and liars and psychopaths....who have slaughtered thousands of humans for centuries...

      @@vegetaismydad5382 Oh, my goodness! Someone with a brain. Please don't hurt yourself! There aren't enough people with brains ... okay? Don't leave me here alone with _them._ You know, the ones who want to hide everything and smooth everything over and shoo everyone away, as if somehow sweeping things under the rug ever helped anything.
      I like you, A Lou. _I care._ Your family most likely does too. This world and it's brutal money money money war-cry make it impossible for any of us to really focus on one another for extended periods (sometimes we are actually _blind_ to one another, because we're so "caught up" in our crap). _But it doesn't mean we don't care._ People just get lost in their own woes and forget that others have woes too. It's the human condition. Don't give up. There is a world after this one, but _how_ you get there is extremely important. You have "assignments" to do here first, even if your "assignments" are as simple as smiling at someone when you don't feel like it or helping someone cross the street safely. Sometimes the "assignment" for the day is _staying alive._ That is an okay assignment. It won't be _every day._ Just when you're feeling blue or pissed off or whatever. Just _stay._ God loves you (no lie, He really does) and I must love you too because the thought of losing you makes me sick ... okay? If you need someone to talk to, send a response to this. I know life has much suckage (it is too a word!) but there's an excellent prize at the end! If you need an ear, I have two of 'em. And they're kinda big, so I listen well. And I will ALWAYS talk to you, A Lou. *I care.* I really do. Big sloppy happy hug ... chin up, let the light in, look for happy things as often as you can. Whatever thoughts you feed grow. Think about that ... then think about puppies and kitties and rollercoasters and candy apples. Stuff like that ... okay? I'm here if you need to talk (even if you just wanna say "hi"). :-)

      The U.S. is criminal in it's negligence of the mental health system. Our society continues to down slide economically, mental health issues have risen dramatically. My heart goes out to this woman, because like many other parents, I would be six feet under, as well. My daughter has been standing on a cliff with her schizophrenia since she was 11. Now 46, her life remains in the balance nearly every day. I can't believe she's made it this far, but the anxiety and fear I have for her being here from day to day is real. Heart wrenching💔💔💔

      @@debranestlen567 I’m so sorry you are going through this with your daughter. I hope she is able to get the help she needs. I also live in the US and have seen the results of suicide as a medic. One woman came very close to dying from a hanging but was cut down just in the nick of time and she was very very close to succeeding. Many mental health hospitals have closed down which means those who need urgent help can’t get it. Here in Florida there is the Baker Act (you can be committed for up to 72 hours if you threaten suicide. Police an go to a magistrate and order it and take them in or we as EMS could take them in and the hospital decide to use the Baker Act) and even with the Baker Act people are still not getting the mental help they need. Many times the patient is admitted to a regular hospital and admitted to the medical floor to be watched with a sitter and they may see a psychiatrist once maybe twice and discharged in many cases. It is really messed up. Ireland has major issues if one woman loses 3 children and they were turning her away when she was pleading for help! Hang in there with your daughter.

Suicide is the worst epidemic on the planet. 16 people every day in the United Kingdom take their own life and over 900,000 people globally take their own life annually. I have actually been involved (again in some capacity) in suicidal funerals to people whom I have actually known. I think it is about time the whole world woke up to this travesty.

    I lost the father of my 3 children to suicide 2 months ago. It’s so hard. His mom is devastated. That was her baby from 10 kids. So many questions. My children miss their dad so much. He always thought he wasn’t enough or didn’t deserve my love because of mistakes he had made. I always forgave him and we were at peace with each other and our children. His personal decisions and life issues put him in a deep depression. He had God in his heart but idk what was going on in his mind. In hind sight there was signs but in the moment it didn’t feel like it because he was such a strong man physically and was very smart. He knew how to hide certain things too. It’s not getting easier but with the grace of God the pain lifts. It’s an emotional rollercoaster and so many unanswered questions.

I always imagined about my mother's personality but after looking and observing these flowing tears in Patricia's eyes I found that may be my mother would be like her loving, caring and affectionate.

The thought that talking about suicide will make more people commit is a wrong and harmful misconception. A lot of schools won’t talk about when a student commits suicide because they don’t want other students to. But that’s not how it works. It just hurts everyone whose already in pain from the loss.

It takes bloody guts of steel to do what they did and I truly believe if there was proper support my sister and brother would be here now...the drugs the gp give you dont work are not monitored and reviewed its appalling.

    My deepest sympathy for the mother who lost her sons to suicide. The high suicide rate of Northern Ireland suggests that mental health problems are not just an individual thing, but a community-wide problem. It is not enough to heal the individual when entire communities are suffering. Given the recent history of the region, one key component for healing would likely involve rebuilding trust.

I hope that this short documentary will bring, not only comfort but also knowledge about mental health and suicide issues to a larger platform. Mental health is a serious matter to be taken into consideration and if you see someone that is going through a difficult time, just walk up to the person and ask how that individual's day was and how the person is doing. It does impact the person so much. It is the simple things that makes a huge difference.

    There is a WORLDWIDE mental health crisis. I truly believe that a number of our worlds most pressing issues have mental health issues at the root. It’s so stigmatized still, it is difficult to ask for help, find good help, and afford the care they need. Then you have the treatment itself which can be lifelong, and arduous. It’s absolutely unacceptable. Our mental health needs to be accommodated just as our physical health. They are undeniably interconnected too. We have come really far as a world community, but in this regard we are stuck in the dark ages.

      I hope you didn’t kill yourself. I tried to kill myself and I’m so glad it didn’t work. It’s a long journey but it really does get better as hard as that is to believe. I know I didn’t believe it when people told me that but it really is true. I lost a friend to suicide, have family members and people who lost people to suicide, I have friends who’ve attempted suicide or had suicidal thoughts, and like I said I’ve felt that way myself. Trust me, I can relate.

    Help. I have been suicidal for 5 years. Attempted twice already. Everything I used to enjoy is now dull and meaningless. I had a girlfriend, but due to us moving to separate countries, we had to break it off. I was happy with her, but I was still suicidal at the time. Now she is gone from my side, but I still talk to her online as a friend. I know that if I stop talking to her, I will have nothing left. I have made friends recently, but the relationships seem shallow and empty. Worse, since I am suicidal, I know that I am toxic to everyone around me, and I don't bother creating deeper relationships because the moment I trust someone, I will fear losing them and it will hurt much more. The cuts on my wrists are very visible, and I don't bother hiding them. I have a daily breakdown where I cry and hyperventilate. I can't go on living like this. I am severely tired of living. I know that death awaits us all, so why rush? But for me, life has been so painful and empty that there is really nothing in my future but regret, failed expectation, and pain. Everyday, I contemplate whether today is the day.

      Thank you :) There have been many times where in my rare moments of joy, internal voices shout "I am not enough", "failure", and my smiling just immediately stops, and tears just start forming. It is extremely hard, since that has happened in the middle of happy conversations, and even in front of meeting my newborn niece for the first time. What scared me is that when I saw her, the joy I felt became nothing and empty, even though she was smiling back at me. It takes hours for my depression and suicidal thoughts to go away, and I still can't function because I know they will be back.

    My ailing cousin did. I have some guilts; i guess, he overheared my arguments weeks before he did it in 2016. Albeit, he could also be philosophical about human life... And also, 2 of my childhood friends did, some 10 yrs ago.
