In the span of 24 hours 2 people I know have committed suicide. I was not very close with either of them but I still feel so broken. As I struggle with my own depression and suicidal fantasies I can't help but wonder what it would be like if it was me... One of the individuals was so strong and open about her struggles with mental health and past suicide attempts. She publicly shared her stories and struggles to help others with their own. It frightens me that someone who was so open about her struggles and seemingly intune with her emotions was still struggling so deeply. I am unable to talk about my feelings or depression. I suffer in silence. So what does that mean for me... where will I end up.
Where do we go from here? How do we stop others from suffering the same fate? How do I stop myself from suffering the same fate? Where did we go so wrong... 2 young lives lost...

It's tough when someone around you dies this way, especially if you're already feeling low and have a tendency to fantasise about suicide already. The worst thing you can do is keep this to yourself though, the big risk is that your world starts to shrink and you develop this feeling of detachment. It's not good! Of course people feel suicidal for all kinds of different reasons, and a lot of people who don't want to die also think about suicide. It's very common and often referred to as suicidal ideation.
Anyway, if you can I would recommend you try talking to a parent, friend, teacher or counselor, especially if you ever feel like you're losing control of these thoughts. Talking about this can save your life.
