Story
On the 19th July 2015 my worst nightmare and fears became a reality when my fiancé Sam Leiper was found after six days of searching and had taken his life.
August 25th 2015 I tried to do the same and was treated in hospital for five weeks. I still suffer and battle daily clinical depression, acute anxiety and acute grief. And also the stigma that comes with mental health problems. I have never felt so trapped in my own mind and low and yet due to that stigma felt so alone or fearful to speak out or talk to people. Suffering in silence is not acceptable and can result in a life being taken. The battle sufferers bravely face every minute is real. Make it ok to discuss these things. (One day I hope it's a compulsory part of the school curriculum!). Help people to continue fighting and fight hard. Encourage and support the right help to be sought with zero shame. And maybe one less family will have to receive the news we heartbreakingly did.
Please help me raise funds and awareness to stop the stigma and start the talking!!!!!!!!xxxx
Money from this and the magic eve will be split between Mind (mental health charity) and CLASP (suicide awareness charity)
