‘It’s sent me into a spiral of depression, and probably even suicidal behaviour. Most of the world is unbearable, even to this day.’ In the latest episode of theMentally Yours podcast, Metro explores life for people left behind after suicide.
Niyc says: ‘An abrupt change like this can affect their own mental health and put loved ones at greater risk of experiencing depression, grief, post traumatic stress disorder, and even suicidal thoughts and behaviors themselves.
These people can end up ‘less willing to reach out for help for themselves’, especially when battling shock, shame and guilt – three commonly reported experiences in suicide survivors.There is also a historical stigma around suicide – only recently has it become a topic which is discussed more freely, and even then, it can be hard to bring up.‘You join a club you really do not want to join.
‘To be quite honest, my GP wasn’t really up to speed with post-suicide support what was going on with me. She’s since made a huge effort to educate herself,’ he says.
