"Everyone is into mental health awareness until it involves dealing with the actual difficult symptoms and behaviours caused by severe mental illness. This was something I read on Twitter and I’m afraid I think it’s very true on the forums. It’s easy to pay lip service to mental health issues but when it comes to individuals, most just block because they don’t want to get personally involved." I'm sure some do just block, but when I mentioned I was triggered on a thread last weekend, several forum users checked up on me. Some I had never interacted with before with offers of help and someone to vent to. | |||

It’s easy to pay lip service to mental health issues but when it comes to individuals, most just block because they don’t want to get personally involved." It's very tricky though as no one really knows what anyone is really dealing with. Iv always found if people reach out on the forums or in private support is always given. That is exactly why I posted this to remind people there is help available and on here isn't always the best place to find it. | |||

"Some triggers aren’t so easy to discuss. And those that inadvertently do the triggering aren’t always that interested in supporting you afterwards, especially if they have their own baggage and other priorities. I find it very hard to discuss what happened to me. Trust isn’t easy, and I’m questioning whether it was a mistake to put that faith in someone. There’s a part of me that believes that it’s a good thing to be open about our vulnerabilities, but when people don’t really respect them it causes more damage than if you’d not opened up in the first place. It’s tricky. Difficult. I’m not even sure what I’m trying to say so I’ll park this here. " I understand what you are saying. That is exactly why I posted this, to remind people there is help available. I hope you are ok. X | |||

I was a crime and trauma scene cleaner a few years back so I’ve cleaned every type of suicide aftermath. Kind of hardened to it. The one that gets me was about 15 years back, my great grandmothers friend, she was in her 70’s and an identical twin, they were both widows and one was diagnosed with terminal cancer so they tied themselves together and walked into the sea in Porthcawl not far from where I live and they drowned. | |||

"I always get slightly triggered by things like this. As someone with depression and having lost someone I thought I might spend my life with as well as family members to suicide, it's a very brave thing to do. I also don't think it's selfish at all. Sometimes it's a permanent solution to a permanent problem. They are all in a better place and I have to acknowledge they did what they felt was right for them. Sometimes we all have to make a choice that's right for us rather than right for the others in our lives." ![]() | |||

Sorry to hear this - lost 3 in the last 2 years myself x" I'm not wanting to sound morbid (I call it black irony) but I too am a little de-sensitised to suicide. To Caroline Flack and her family I'm deeply sorry. My last funeral however was my cousin, hung himself on a door knob, potential auto-erotic asphyxiation. We'll never know. Surely that's not a good way to go? He was 39 and had 2 children. | |||
