Today I wanted to make a video for World Mental Health Day. This year, the focus is Suicide Prevention, so I thought I would first talk about my experiences of being suicidal and also losing people to suicide. But I also then wanted to discuss what we can all be doing to help in the prevention of suicide. I hope you might find it helpful and informative - please do feel free to share it if you feel others would find it helpful. And do leave me a comment about any of your experiences or reactions to what I've said (please do be sensitive though, as it's a difficult topic for a lot of people).

I also wanted to share some links to places you can go if you need to speak to someone about mental health and/or suicide. And also some general resources for mental health. Please don't suffer alone.

People that commit sucide have had enough with careless chit chat. What's preventable is society's deliberate neglect (family/friends or stranger). Personally I've been sucidal for years.. I've herd it all. No one cares until there at your funeral.
