This is excellent. There is so much good that comes out of mental health as well as the obvious suffering. We’re all human, we all have flaws, just different flaws. Chatting with like minded individuals is a great opportunity. Great stuff.
 
A friend of my son from school committed suicide a couple of weeks ago. Although she’d had problems before, it seemed she‘d got over them. You never know.
Worst bit is, she did it on a family holiday, she just went out for a walk and never came back. 🙁

This poor girl committed suicide as a result of disability benefits being cut by an agency, could have been prevented.

Capita pays compensation to family of woman who died after benefits cut​

Exclusive: DWP contractor settles negligence claim by family of Philippa Day, who died of overdose

A government contractor has paid out “substantial” compensation following the death of a young mother who took an overdose after her disability benefits were removed.
Philippa Day, 27, a single mother from Nottingham who had longstanding mental health issues, died in hospital in October 2019, two months after taking an overdose. She had endured months of stress and anxiety after a long struggle with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Capita to reinstate her benefits.

An inquest into her death identified 28 instances where “systemic errors” by both the DWP and its contractor had led to failures in the handling of Day’s claim. These failures were a “stressor” in her decision to take the overdose, the coroner ruled, although he was unable to conclude she had intended to take her own life.

Should definitely have been prevented….

The DWP need to get closer to these individual cases..
