Whitby tragedies (triggering, suicide)

[CantUnderstand1t]

I can't stop thinking about it. 4 people within days of each other died falling from the cliffs. 2 together and the other 2 separately.

It's so tragic. Apparently people witnessed the couple who did it. You'd never get over that.

I'm hearing of people being found n woods etc and throwing themselves in front of trains almost daily. So much depression.

I know this is a depressing thread. Just wanted to voice my sadness. I visit whitby often and this has cast such a dark cloud. I hate the thought of people having no other choice. I've had depression (pnd) and know how terrible it is. But thankfully didn't want to end it all.

There is already a thread about this.

As said on the previous thread, suicide is contagious

Thank you I hadn't seen that

Contagion. Which is why we shouldn’t talk about it much. If you feel it’s drawing your attention, you probably need to give yourself a shake and go for a walk rather than sinking into melancholy.

I’m not being a dick, it’s genuine advice. I’m prone to melancholy and have to be really alert to myself going there.

Bram Stoker did for Whitby, years ago

That's really sensible advice. I have to do the same but it's doable. Sending love and light to anyone struggling.

I havn’t seen the other thread, but I was staying in Whitby last week and we saw the helicopter rescue of the 2 people on Wednesday evening. There was a distinct change in the atmosphere as the bystanders grasped why the waiting ambulances had not sped off with the people rescued.
