We are lucky enough to have a supportive team both here and back home that make this project 10x more manageable. We know we couldn’t have done this alone particularly with all our bad luck recently, and it’s the same with mental health, suffering in silence is never the solution. Your life, your experience, your thoughts and feelings are valuable, and for every death through su***de there is a hole left in the world, you are missed by those who love you now and those you would have loved you in the future.
Anyone reading this right now who feels they can’t go on, please stay. Stay for the neighbour who smiles when you wave in the morning, for the dog who wants to say hello on your walk to work, for the friends who think of you when they hear your favourite song, for the family who’s life you changed. Stay for anything, until you can stay for yourself. You never know what the future might hold, be curious and stick around to find out.
Please today, and everyday, take those extra few minutes to check on the people you love, and the people you don’t! Be kind, you never know the impact it might have. Let’s open up the conversation, the more we talk about it, the less scary it is.
