Sometimes it feels like we
don't have a future. Distressing thought such as suicide can occur when
depression is present. When we feel we have no choices left some of us take this
sad route. Suicide is a last resort for some people where we feel we have no
option left. It’s a scary truth that lots of mentally ill people attempt
suicide as they see it as a way to end their pain. Sadly, a lot of those people
are teenagers and young adults with a whole life ahead of them, but they don't
see this.
The message behind this edit was to show how suicidal teens feel. When
they look into a mirror they don't see anything looking back. A friend of mine
told me that she can’t picture herself settling down with a family or being a
successful business woman, she can't see a future for herself. The thought of
not being able to dream about the future makes me sad. Depression rips away
childhood and replaces those dreams with a harsh reality. In the image I left
the reflection blank. Personally, I can't speak from experience of suicide, I
can only quote those experiencing it around me. But although I don't understand
how difficult it is I truly believe that if you’re struggling with your mental
health, you should try to reach out for help.
