Mental health Suicide awareness.

 First of all, there is no easy way of writing about this subject but I feel it is a huge concern and everyone's life matters. I want to write about I am writing Suicide awareness, which is not to make everyone sad but make everyone aware that it is serious, it has always happened and still is that doesn't mean there is not help out there out there and no one is forcing anyone to talk either. Since the Coranvirus lockdown started in March 2020 concerns of mental health and suicide have grown even more so. 

I am no professional,  I don't see myself as an expert but I have lived and dealt with my Anxiety and Depression in my own way, and everyone who faces it has their own way of dealing with it. 

Each and every one of us is different of course and it would be boring would if we were all the same.

It's possible to feel, sad, angry, or both whether there's a reason or not, if whatever negative feeling builds up into a certain about of time it may get concerning or in some cases a danger to the person them, or and maybe someone else in some cases. No one is focusing on anyone to talk but we need to offer people we a voice and our listening ear to those who may be suffering and struggling one way or another whether we are a friend, family, professional whoever. Also, respect the person's privacy and choice. Never tell others what they have or if they have told you unless they have given you permission to do so. However' if their life, your life, or and someone else's life is at risk, you must make that person aware that you have no choice but to report the situation to which may be a professional, health professional, police, etc depending on what the situation may be.   

We mustn't make a person who feels suicidal feel guilty or shameful how they feel. Negative feelings and stress can build on top of a person, which doesn't always necessarily mean suicide will happen but the risk may be there. The person doesn't want to end their life they want to end their pain. 

Never judge, discriminate, or cause the sigma to the person who facing whatever they may be facing. 

If a person talks about they feel and they say they feel they cannot carry on living and that they feel as if they are going to end their life. Never say they are or not. If you have concerns someone may end their own life call for help, it's never known whether they will not, in some cases some people don't know their own strengths or weaknesses. 

You can offer support services, counseling, emotional support, etc but it is down to the person's choice. Some people don't accept help right away but otherwise, it is the case of letting the person you hear to talk but again it's down to their choice. You can only do your best. https://youngminds.org.uk/find-help/feelings-and-symptoms/suicidal-feelings/  https://www.supportline.org.uk/problems/suicide/
