Do you know what I did after I tried telling people in my family that I felt suicidal and they dismissed it, literally laughing it off in disbelief?

I tried committing suicide. I'd do so three more times. I now live with the constant anxiety that those thoughts could come back.

If the courage you've found to admit to people that life isn't preferable, or better that you need some help, is then met by dismissal or denial, it is something that can turn a crisis into a tragedy.

Any institution or TV presenter that facilitates this, needs tearing down.

This will achieve literally nothing, but mental health mockery and dismissal really bothers me.

Many with MH problems feel like they have an unrelenting responsibility to help fix the problems created by others, and I guess I'm not free from that. So thanks, @ITV.

This is the weird sort of day where you make a rare post about the royals, write to a tv broadcaster, and your selfies get liked by the Queen's former butler.

Can I sleep now?

Republic? #AbolishTheMonarchy

I guess I did my tiny little bit to achieve something after all, along with many others. Not that he won't end up being odious via some other platform instead.
