A tribute for My mum fay

Hello everyone,I just want to share a story and make a tribute to a friend's son of mine who recently committed suicide.This was very sudden and nobody saw it coming because he was happy with his life.He adored his wife and children.This is so tragic.His mum was very very devistated and he was her only child.She is struggling with her own mental health issues also.Her daughter in law is along side her with her grandchildren but she is still very traumatized and very devistated and sad.I am doing this challenge to support all adults,teenagers,elderly and young children who are suffering with mental health issues and depression and for suicide awareness and all the people who have lost loved ones or friends from suicide.I also would like to wish everyone participating in this good cause Goodluck and hope you all manage to reach you're goals in this.

Support My Walk for Mental Health Research

Did you know that 1 in 5 Australians experience a mental illness each year?

This October, I’m taking part in One Foot Forward to help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.

I'm walking to raise funds for Black Dog Institute to put ground-breaking new mental health treatment, education, and digital services into the hands of the people who need them most.

It would mean so much to me if you donated to support my walk.

Together, we can create better mental health for all Australians.

My Updates

My mum

I lost my mum in 2006 and my dad in 2008..Both of them struggled an alcohol addiction over many years of their lives.They both suffered mental illness and several suicide attempts..They did not receive alot of help they just dealt with it themselves for many years.No doctors,no phsyciatrists and no medications.Eventually they did see doctors and they both were committed into Glenside mental institution and another institute in Adelaide.They received their treatment and were put on medications.Unfortunately they drank alcohol during treatment and became very ill.I am the youngest of 7 children but my mums other 5 children were to her first marriage,she left that marriage and the children and met my dad and then had me and my sister.During her pregnancy with me she consumed alcohol pretty much through whole pregnancy and as a result of this my growing up was affected badly and I now have PTSD and BPD and depression and Alcohol fetalsyndrome which the name has now changed.I too have struggled alot over my childhood and teenage n adult years with my mental illnesses.I am now receiving treatment and medication for it and have regular reviews.I am 53 this year and I am wanting to live my life happy and be content.I am doing this for all people who struggle with mental illness and who have suicidal tendencies.Thankyou..
