It’s World Suicide Prevention Month.
Many people die every day and every hour from suicide in the UK and globally. 7000 lives lost a year on average in the UK to suicide and 75% of these are men according to research by CALM charity.
Taking their own lives is often the only way they can see to end their own deep pain and suffering- whether as a result of trauma, mental health issues and life circumstances (abuse, addiction, divorce, parenting struggles being just a few).
If you feel suicidal or very low, please tell a trusted person or if in the UK call Samaritans on 116 123.
You are never alone and deserve to stay.
Love,
Eleanor
