    My hubbys niece has committed suicide.

    My hubbys brother adopted his wifes 2 children from a previous marriage.
    They were brill kids and he loved them to bits.
    Tracy was so sweet and was a brill runner who ran for staffordshire and met her hero Sebastion Coe.
    My hubbys brother and his wife divorced sadly and my bro in law died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 52 6 years ago.
    Now weve found out that Tracy has hanged herself.
    She lived a mile away from us and had 2 sons age 13 and 17.
    Her funerals next week. She was 42.
    Im gobsmacked! I can picture her now running for staffordshire.
    I used to think people who commited suicide were selfish.
    Since suffering with panic attacks I dont think they are selfish but just wish they would realise that there is so much help and support out there.
    Perhaps its time there was far more information about websites and books/leaflets in doctors surgeries about mental health.
    Why should people feel ashamed and embarrassed about asking for help about the most complex organ in our body?
    I know I do, There is still so much stigma about mental health that it really annoys me.

    Re: My hubbys niece has committed suicide.

    It is terribly sad for everyone involved when a tragic event such as this happens. My heart goes out to you and her sons who must be feeling absolutely devastated. I'm sure you will all need alot of love and support to get through this.

    I know when I took overdoses I didn't think about the people I would leave behind because I was hurting so much and all I wanted was my pain to end. Even when my father collected me, I didn't think how he must have been feeling.

    When you are that low and depressed, often I don't think people think of anything else other than for their suffering to end so often don't tell anyone how they're feeling and won't cry out for help. They say that it is the silent ones that are most difficult to save because they don't share their feelings so no one is aware of how low they are. It's terribly sad to say but there may have been very little anyone could have done to save Tracy if no one was aware of how she was feeling because she could see no future. Maybe she kept her feelings hidden.

    I agree though that there is alot of stigma that still exists which is why I try to be open with my experiences in the hope of helping others to not be afraid of sharing their fears. I can remember how doctors used to treat me when I self harmed and how they used to say there are "genuinely ill people" that need their help.

    I can remember when I opened my true feelings about my anxiety etc to my boss at work and reduced her to tears because she had no idea how ill I was. I was too afraid to share with anyone.

    One of the reasons I turned my corner was when I heard on the News of a couple of mothers who committed suicide with their disabled children because there was no one to turn to. I realised then that I wasn't the only one feeling that way. This is the main reason I came here because I wanted to reach out to people in need.

    I am Truly Sorry for your loss.

    Sending you LOTS of HUGS.
