Re: viaduct suicide

My friend was the one to find his dad after he had been 'missing' for a few days. For some reason nobody thought to thoroughly check the house, and it was only when he went upstairs did they find him, and he has to live with that final image of his dad now like that.

The sad thing is, most people who kill themselves show obvious signs, but some show very subtle signs too and nobody gives them the support they need in time. Very few people speak out about mental illness (statistically men more commonly dont speak out) and it doesn't help when people are calling them selfish and the rest of it.

Some people need to learn a bit of compassion for others it seems. Maybe one day you'll suffer with one of these common illnesses and you'll realise what it's like. I believe it is 1 in 3 that are effected by a mental illness in their lives, so it's not rare.
