This is a really awful mindset.

I have attempted suicide thrice in my whole life of 19 years, the last attempt was the closest I got to death and trust me when you are in that moment you are not able to think, not able to see a single streak of hope -- you feel helpless, hopeless, completely tired and frustrated along with a lot of other emotions. It is overwhelming and consumes you.

It is just really really easy to say that it makes people 'weak' or not worthy of sympathy.

Our brain is one of the most complicated things in the world. Our brain controls our whole body, that is why when someone is depressed-- their mental peace is ruined-- their whole body stops being healthy too. It is a scary and extremely hurtful thing. It doesn't show like fever or cold but it happens inside of you and breaks you with each moment. Ruins your self esteem and shatters your heart again and again.

Such people need compassion, support and gentleness. Not judgment. I hope you never go through such a stage where you feel depressed but you shouldn't just disregard the ones who suffer and struggle with it everyday.

RIP Pratyusha Banerjee.

Three times? I know we never interacted one on one before but you are probably one of the few members I like on here. So if you ever get suicidal thoughts again or if you feel down in any way, you are free to talk to me. Okay? 😃 If you don't have anyone else to talk to. 😊

IMO suicide needs to be condemned...you cant deal with life?
there are millions of people who dont have food/water and real life threatening problems, but they are still making an effort to live each day.
Instead of sympathy, spread awareness of mental health, rich people who can afford therapy should not feel shame in accepting they need help.
Love life problems/ Stressful job is a part and parcel of everybody's life. I dont know anybody who have it all "easy". Instead of dealing with shit, Suicide is the easy way taken out when expectations are not met.
When you dont have "courage" to deal with life, you are a coward. #CondemnSuicide

I really just wished that people who were going through such hardships would share it with a close one or even a stranger than maybe just maybe their life would be saved because in the end the person committing suicide is ending their life but their friends and family are the ones that have to suffer. It's unfortunate and I'm not going to say anything about people who are in that mindset because I'm sure it's not easy but I just wish they would ask for help before it's too late. To the media instead of showcasing these cases and going into so much depth they could educate the public about how if they are going through such thoughts they should seek help!

People who suffer from mental health need support and love, not judgement.

Now I've read everything on IF & I've to frank- Am utterly gobsmacked & disgusted

This is why it is great that dP came. Forward with her foundation & IVs on depression /mental health. This is why people need to be fervently & hopefully very soon, be educated on depression & mental health.


And this is why there is no point in hiding & blaming or exonerating the victims of mental health because their dark places are just their own. No-one can know what it feels like or what an uphill BATTLE it is to function like a human being, forget function well. Yes, people who do function well are "strong." But what really is strength? The ability to never be weak or to be weak with the awareness of it & the tools to overcome said weakness?

Anyway, am getting into abstract territory because this post just... Has left me completely disturbed, which I anyway was after reading about this girl's suicide. This is another reason why I say there is no point in judging the workers of the glamour industry. They do absolutely anything to survive & they must- Otherwise the world will label them as "weak & mentally unfit" like this post has done.

I am utterly shocked at some of the comments

This is pathetic you have written.Do you think people who are suffering from depression do not try to stay alive. They try to speak with people but generally they are shunned by friends. When life gives you troubles it comes from every possible source personal and professional. You do not have anywhere to take comfort too. You are trying to improve your life but your problems increase many folds. Try living in this situation for years.

People who have slight inclination and knowledge about mental health they will try to get help. But most of the people have family members who feel ashamed and call people suffering from mental disorders crazy and weak. These people commit suicide as they have similar thought patterns like their family.

In life there are many needs other than food,clothing and shelter. If you do not have psychological and emotional support then a person is not happy.

Please read something about depression with an open mind once. It will be helpful to you one day.

I ask you to learn to read and understand the semantics of each lines before quoting me. Depression is a serious illness and I would rather people take medication and sessions than their own life!
I can not sympathize with people who take their life. If you are sad for a long period of time, generally parents/friends are always their to listen. If you are ashamed to talk to them, seek professional help. They have a confidentiality clause. Talking helps because it lets you analyze the situation from a new perspective, maybe seeing some other truths+ some medication to control the level of dopamine/serotonin to make the person less miserable is always helpful.
I look up to people like DP who have used their platform to raise awareness about this issue. Everyone needs to come out of toxic relation/job. This would take insane amount of courage. Taking life sadly does not.

I have a lot of respect for people who struggle everyday and still go on. I admire their strength to continue.
For those who loose it not so much.
