So true OTC. Youd think someone like that beautiful, (assuming) successful, etc would have a great life. Kind of reminds me of Charlotte Dawsons death- they were both in the same industry /fashion. So sad

Not sure how big your organisation is but employment assistance programs are fairly common now. http://www.eapaa.org.au/site/Being in HR, a lot of people at work come to me when they're struggling with mental health issues. I find it hard to deal with because I'm not a trained counsellor, so all I can really do is offer them names and numbers to contact someone who can help them. I have to hear about a lot of personal issues from other people and it does weigh me down sometimes.
Sometimes (probably most) you don't even realise you have the two personalities, public and private. Many depression sufferers have had it for so long they don't realise they're 'putting on a brave face'.Very sad - reinforces that depression doesn’t care who you are or what you have you are not immune.
Reading some of the Instagram posts that were included in the article also shows how deceptive things can be - while she mentions how much she was struggling she also made herself appear to be upbeat and coping and I’m sure that’s how others read it as well.
Thank you, we do have one already.Not sure how big your organisation is but employment assistance programs are fairly common now. http://www.eapaa.org.au/site/
SimplisticPeople who commit suicide have zero sympathy from me, can't handle their problems so they throw all their burden on the loved ones left behind. Rot.
Agree, simplistic view from someone that hasn't lost perspective and suffered severe depression.Simplistic
Why do you think that now is the best time to be alive?I have a friend who has zero sympathy for people who commit suicide. I think He just thinks that if they want to commit suicide then so be it. Thinks they r weak etc. and the world is better off without them. While I don’t totally agree with him I do have trouble understanding why relatively normal people would even consider it. I love life- nothing beats living!
I also think it’s interesting that this is the best time ever to be alive yet suicide rates and depression etc. seem to be higher than ever before. Personally I think increased drug use is the main reason!

It is called selfish by people that have no idea.Gonna sound harsh but why would you?
You can empathise with the struggles that led them to that point, but once it's done it's done and their pain is ended - but it is others left to carry it on.
There's a reason people call it a selfish act and that's because loved ones are left behind grieving and trying to understand why, punishing themselves for what they could/should have done etc.
This is so brilliant!!!!! Right on point.From David Foster Wallace:
"The person in whom Its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high-rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire's flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It's not desiring the fall; it's terror of the flame yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don‘t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You'd have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling."
You can.Your talking here of an immediate physical threat, be burnt or jump. People that jump would do so in the thought that they may in some way survive. You cant compare this to suicide.
And my point in this thread before a couple of psych nurses took offense was that the victims of this scam on regular occasions ring lifeline.
Sometimes they get straight out abuse, other times refereed to agencies that want there story kept quiet because the agency are pushing the chemical imbalance fraud themselves. Sometimes there's phone attendants who know what goes on but are powerless to help.
Doctors and nurses are threatening and violating victims of this fraud and it's costing life's.
