I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that.
Years ago it was unwritten rule not to nention suicides in the mediaNot sure it's necessarily that suicides are on the rise, but rather the reports especially in the media are on the rise
They suck but they should be mentioned so people talk about them, not to intrude but to reflect on themselves and their own loved ones.Years ago it was unwritten rule not to nention suicides in the media
Changed nowThey suck but they should be mentioned so people talk about them, not to intrude but to reflect on themselves and their own loved ones.
It's the double edged sword where they don't want to talk about in case it encourages other people to do it.
Was reflecting, between:
People went to school with
People used to work with
Friends/family of friends
Friends
Extended family
I would know 10+ who have taken their own life, it bubbles away just under the surface but it's scary just how common it is and still is a taboo subject.
There are plenty talking about it, unfortunatley for people like me who struggles with mental health, has been suicidal and has constant suicidal ideation its bloody hard to open up to anyone especially living in a small town where everyone knows your business.It's a huge thing for blokes of my age. I'm mid 50s and can list over 20 who gave taken their own life in the last 25 years. All bar one were men. It's crazy we don't talk about it.

the pysch i saw 4 years ago i have come to realise now didn't unpack many of my problems, he said and i quote" just start doing things that make you happy" , haven't bothered to see anyone since. i see myself now as a functioning depressed person, i do life and work as if there is no problem inside me.Sorry to hear that. Can you find a good pysch where you are? They can be a huge help.

yeah ive ready many times it can take two to three different pyschs before you find one that suits. i just get used to being the way i am and hide the bad days from everyone so they know no better and just get on with life. i do know i need to see someone, one day i will.My experience with psychs is that it's not what they say, it's what they ask that enables you to unload/unpack things in your own mind.
I had a conversation with a mate a few nights ago who is in a dark place right now and he couldn't see any way out. Talking things through is absolutely the best tactic to get things back on track. The key is to find the right person/people who you can trust, and not easy in a small community like yours.
In a weird way, I do find BigFooty quite cathartic, even if it does amplify my procrastination.
Plenty of outlets here to offload some angst.
