Today I relived all the emotional pain of my past. Today another man I loved decided that his fear of life was more intimating than death.
I didn't know Alexander McQueen but I loved his creations and dreamt that with my success I would buy one of his originals. Now it is unlikely that is going to happen.
I am frustrated. I know I cannot control another’s actions, I know I cannot take away their pain but I want to have the ability to show them how wonderful they are even if they don't feel it. Every single one of us is important and although we can feel overwhelmed by the days ahead of us none of us should deny ourselves the love and opportunity that is around the corner.
Suicide in men is an epidemic. But you are choosing to hide and hope that if you ignore it will go away.
Men I know we have confused you. One minute we want you macho the next we are demanding you cry. Sometimes I worry that it’s our fault but then I have told you how much I love you and I thought you listened.
To know that someone can feel so sad inside is a overwhelming moment for many. We have lost someone so talented, an icon, an inspiration. For me I was brought to tears.
But you see 3 young men’s family’s a day are feel exactly the same about their son, their boyfriend, husband and best friend.
The suicide epidemic is real and the work I do for the Campaign Against Living Miserably is real but we are being ignored
Many corporate and governmental organizations’ are scared to say the S word. It has a stigma that creates concern. We miss out on grants, fundraisers and media coverage because you people with power are scared.
Let me ask you this how scared must of Alexander McQueen been of his life to do what he did.
It is now time to stop this nonsense. If we don't join forces and get together we will all know 4 people that take their own life.
This week we lost the man that made our dresses 5 years ago I lost the man that gave me cuddles. Where will this stop?
Join the fight for living
