WARNING: Distressing content One Friday, labourer Bardie Sommerville hung up her tool belt and left the worksite. Over the weekend she attempted to take her own life. By the Monday, she walked back onto site, slipped on her boots and got back to work. She didn’t tell a soul about her inner struggle. Armed with a brave face, she pretended to be fine - but on the inside, she couldn’t shake her feeling of abject loneliness. “I didn’t tell anyone. I couldn’t tell anyone.
” Outside the classroom and on the jobsite, Bardie says the “female barrier” could be very challenging. “Even being qualified, you just question yourself like, ‘Do I have a place here?’,” she says. “There were certainly people who didn’t like that I was there.” Mental health It was that feeling of loneliness that contributed to negative impacts on her mental health. “Since I was young I struggled with mental health, anxiety, depression,” she says.
