I'm not one for being over the top with grief about people I don't know since I only met her briefly but for some reason this has really hit me.
I saw an article today in the local paper about a friend of mine's (ex work colleague) girlfriend who died recently.
It's not been released officially but it's believed she took her own life. She had well documented mental health issues and had become active on social media talking about her struggles with it. She attempted suicide a few years back and fairly recently went to thank the people that helped save her life.
I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I saw it. She was so young, only mid/late 20's. Had her whole live ahead of her. She seemed like she was feeling better, grateful to be alive and looking forward to the future. I suppose there was also a lot going on that she didn't talk about. I feel so awful for her that she was in so much pain she thought that was her only option. I'm so sad for all those that loved her who now have to live without her.
I'm just really sad 😞
