Years ago someone had said something about why didn't the individual fighting their mental illness and lost their battle. And ended their pain. I said the correct question one should be asking is what stopped them from saying anything.
Obviously I was talked down to how it was "None of their business' and all the other usual talking points that in the end puts all the work on the individual fighting mental illness. While those who say " Why didn't they ask for help?' to be honest have never done any work. This doesn't encourage people to say anything and looking back in my case it was more of the same endless "your not trying hard enough" or other useless ideas. As one who has been twice now..civvy and VAC diagnosed as in the right situation maybe suicidal.
I could go on however This blog entry is about making it easier to share when needed this article from a UK cycling magazine about mental illness and potential suicide. It needs to be shared because the alternative outcome one I would like to believe others want to see less of. And all it takes is one person as Doctor Who advises.....
This is a good piece as someone opens up to what happened. And it needs to be known so it increases the chances of one less negative outcome.
