my all-time favourite fictional women ImageImageImageImage
Vanessa Ives, Penny Dreadful

She has demons to contend with, and thinks little of herself or her appearance, but is always there for everyone no matter what she's going through. She sees the best in people, and strives to take their pain for herself.
Maeve Wiley, Sex Education

Bit of a loner, and a bit confrontational - but only towards people who deserve it. Tries so much to get her life on track, tries to let other people in, but has a lot going on in a very difficult working class home life that creates major self-doubt.

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. ImageImage
