2 years ago on 7 September my brother in law took his life after a 15 year battle with mental illness.

Tomorrow is national suicide prevention day. To show support and make people aware of the increase in suicide, please make an effort to wear yellow, or if this can't be done write love on the inside of your wrist.

I hope and pray you guys never have to deal with suicide by a loved one, and any awareness of it would be great.

Thanks for taking time to read this.

Hugs here too!

My own brother is a borderline schizophrenic, and is living the life of a recluse who dislikes crowds or in the company of people he does not know well.

I worry about him, and often think of him as he lives in another continent.

Will definitely be supporting this cause. My uncle struggled with mental illness after the break up of his marriage. He took his life while the rest of the family were at a wedding.

Hearing the howls of loss coming from my nan when she was told will live with me forever. She never forgave herself and spoke of him everyday until she passed away earlier this year.

Shortly I am joining a charity that aims to reduce suicide rates and I am so proud to have been chosen to work for them.

I do mark this day, and mental health week and will be thinking of all of those left behind with the 'what ifs' and those that fight the daily battle against wanting to end it all.

that is terible when a loved one takes there own lives, i can imagine the guilt you would feel as its bad enough when a person dies of natural courses.

i attemted suicide twice when i was a teenager, and have though about it a few times.

My mum attempted suicide and i contemplated it when my whole world crashed around me. I truly believe that the late discovery that i was pregnant saved me and the fact my mum is alive. Its been a tough time within my family with mental illness and various other issue's.

Thankfully her attempts failed.

My ex-hubby's mum and all his siblings suffered from different types of mental illnesses.

When I left him, the shock pushed him over the edge, and he nearly topped himself. Luckily he sought medical help in time.

It breaks my heart to see him not being his formal cheery self whenever I visit him.

We should never forget the carers and those that look after people with mental health problems. To see your loved ones in such tragic states is almost as worse, if not as worse for them as it is the sufferer

This is very close to my heart, a very close young member of my family tried to take her life earlier this year... Thanks to a great ITU team she survived!

So will be supporting this 100%

The land of grey peas and bacon

I was 15 and fat and ugly.. There was this girl at school that told me that her older brother faniced me... I went to her house after school to meet him only to be told "do you think that my brother would be interested in a fat and ugly person like you". The next day I took iboprofen and paracentmol and wanted to die,.. My mum found me and took me to hosptial where I had my stomach pumped out..

Is what I am saying to much info for the forums.. I don't think so...

Thank you to you all. It's sometimes a taboo subject. I wish each and every person who has been affected in any way the best when dealing with their situation. We all deal in different ways, but have faith it does get better, and threads like this prove you are not alone. X x x

I am, and always have been a firm believer in euthanasia.

I'm not referring to those who are just “pissed off”

If someone decides they want out, they should be allowed the option to get out.

Thank you for sharing, it was very brave of you. I hope you can now see who was the ugly person in that scenario and it was never you.

Well on a positive note, ive been suicice attempt free for 6 years now and having been on an enhanced at risk register for most of my adult life im no longer on any at risk register. Its been a hard battle but with modern medication things get slightly easier and good support and having the best mother in the world helps

Nature can be so cruel sometimes but on the otherside of the coin is so wonderful.

For any near and dear ones who you know are at a low ebb. Make the effort either to visit or telephone. I'm not preaching to you all as I appreciate some of you delightful people will and already make that effort. However, it so easy to get wrapped in our own busy worlds that before we know it another day has passed, we then ponder and say to ourselves in our beds at the end of a busy day I'll make that call tomorrow. Trouble is tomorrow arrives and it's too late.

Apologies for waffling on.

It's a very good point. I always say to people that if you can find the time for the funeral wouldn't it be better to use it doing something positive with the person when they are still alive. It is hard work loving and caring for the mentally ill but I know the difference a simple bit of human contact can make.

Have to be in uniform tonight so can't wear yellow but have love on my wrist.

Thankfully I've not had to deal with a suicide, but I do know people who've attempted it and many more who self-harm.
