    CBT & DBT we’re life changing for me. I was in a behavioral health unit back in 2016 and when I came home I had to commit to a 12weeks intense outpatient programme. It truly changed the way my mind worked. Made me see the world in a different way. Really enjoyed listening to your interview, thanks for sharing you story with us xoxox 💕✌🏻😊

    My dad died from overdosing from Heroin at 16, my mum did the same and just told me. I went to high school as normal, as if nothing happened since this was the same man that told me that "you're nothing, not my son" whilst visiting him in a caravan outside my grandma's house. To this day, I don't think I've ever processed it - it's never bothered me and I don't know why. It's good to feel that someone else has had similar experiences.

      My parents divorced when I was 14 and my dad moved on with his new family. My mum has mental health issues and couldn't really take care of us so it's always just been my brother and I. We're both in our early 40s, he has kids and a wife, I've got a son. My brother went missing 4 weeks ago and it looks like he has suicided. It feels like part of me has broken off. There's so many memories, jokes, little things that only he understood. I keep wanting to ring him then remember he is missing and I can't talk to him.
      I'm also faced with my mum and how it's now only me and her left from what used to be our family unit.
      I feel your pain at your sister's loss. I'm only just starting on a life without my closest relative. I hope you're doing ok.

      Depends on the person, but yeah i wouldn't advise it if you're not in a mentally stable place, it can either block out the emotions or make you ruminate on them. Gonna sound like cliche stoner here but the type of weed can have massively different effects, for me sativa stuff like haze gets my mind racing and overthinking whereas indicas make me feel relaxed and give me a different perspective

    Wow this hits home. I said the same thing when i was a kid “tummy hurts” which was my anxiety. My Dad took his life when i was 15, hated him for years. Then felt massive regret felling that way because I didn’t know how to be a man. I still haven’t found myself at 32 but I’ve only just come to a complete acceptance of all this after my mother recently past.

    I can totally relate to his words here. Resilience does make you a powerful person. Losing a parent at 18 made me very different to my friends, i didnt care about anything that your typical teen would care about going into early adulthood which was like having the upperhand all the time being that bit more mature.Even now years later i can feel empathetic one minute and so cold the next. It really is a survival instinct but putting the negative energy into something you love really does help with grief❤️ its such a confusing thing to explain😂

    I look at him and I see my sons, I'm struggling with suicidal thoughts when I'm in my own head which is pretty much every day and I look at my boys and my wife and the only reason why I haven't just hit that fuck it button is what I will leave behind, if I didnt have them I would have gone a long time ago. I've suffered abuse and rape as a kid and nearly 2 decades of fighting cancer as an adult which I'm still fighting and when I begged for help from my oncologist, nurses and doctors I was let down. It wasn't till I hit rock fuckin bottom and told my oncologist that I'm just fuckin done with this life he actually got off his ass and listened. I'm right art the beginning of getting that help which up to now has just been a series of assessments but it's given me that tiny fragment of hope to hold on to. There's so many ads for the suicide prevention lines out there but to actually get the help you really need in North West England is fuckin hard and bleak, the adult mental health services are being shut down and it's fuckin near impossible to even find a Councillor even for me and I'm a cancer patient I can only imagine how impossible for anyone else with mental illness to get help over here. Something more than a suicide prevention line or the samaritans needs to be done because so many people are falling through the cracks.

    I've had a mental issue throughout my life, as well, some kind of combination involving depression and a personality disorder (I've had various diagnoses so I can't really pinpoint it). And yeah you have to learn to play a different role to fit into society. Everyone does that but for us it's even more necessary. I don't have to get into it you can catch my drift.
