It’s tragic when anyone takes their own life.
But it can be made even worse when it’s high profile and in the media (search “caroline flack suicide love island”).
It’s bad for surviving family and friends. It’s also bad because the reporting of it can trigger other vulnerable people to consider, and possibly, follow suit.
If that is you or someone you know, one of the best things to do is talk to someone who can help.
There are many great organisations out there – Samaritans (UK phone 116 123, email jo@samaritans.org) – Shout (UK SMS to 85258). And a bunch of others listed by the NHS.
You don’t need to feel alone when you are feeling your worst.
