My Suicide Story: Episode 6 - Mark's Story

You have no idea how much it meant to me to hear your story. I remember listening to this back in January when it first came out. That day I had been self isolating on a cold snowy day in my room. I had all the blinds closed, turned off all my technology to isolate myself from everyone and wanted so badly for it all to just end. I wished that I would just fall asleep and never wake up, because I hated life and myself even more. I have dealt with depression and suicidal ideation for years and I have been working on it over the past year. That day of isolation was so incredibly painful, but hearing your story helped me calm down. I can’t even fully put into words just how much I needed to hear a story like this, but from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for this Chanel and thank you so much for sharing.

Mark, I hope you have an entire Minnie Mouse collection now. (Or whatever your inner child wants to have.) Thank you for having the courage to be YOU and to share yourself with the world and tell your truth. I hope you are greatly blessed and met by love unexpected and beyond imagination.

Just to add a little context to this emotional video. I have been a funeral director for four decades and have been involved in over a thousand (yes well over a thousand suicide funerals) to put things into context over 16 people every day (just in the U.K. alone take their own life) and trust arranging a funeral, conducting a funeral and even do a ‘chapel viewing’ (this is where the family members come to view a deceased in the chapel of rest at the funeral home) and these are the most difficult and testing funerals to be involved in. In fact only a week ago a suicide victim was laid to rest and the most upsetting thing is that suicide victims are very young. Please people if you are feeling suicidal then please just talk to someone after all nothing bad ever lasts forever and once you have passed away you are dead for a very long time.

man it kind of upsets me just how hard everything was for this simply because of what he was attracted to. This man is handsome, smart, a great talker, great person, yet he faced so much self hatred because of one miniscule part of who he is

Mr Mark please continue to open up your figurative heart talking about what happened to you wholeheartedly. Please reach out to others who care about you . There is help and hope in your community.

This guy is incredible. I am so angry that he was told he couldn't get the stuffed animal he wanted. And he was told he was wrong. AND he was raped by his cousin. Mark was a PERFECT child and he was emotionally and sexually abused. I hope Mark is better now.

Moral of Story- NO MATTER WHAT, BE YOUR TRUE, AUTHENTIC SELF.

This is probably the best struggle story i have heard. Hope you are doing good mark! Hope you get all the happiness. Keep these videos coming!! They are really helping me!

Thank you Mark. Listening to you tell your story helped me tonight...I wish I had your strength. And i wish I had people to support me like you now do. But I don't.

My prayer for you is that you live what life you have left at peace. We are only here for an extremely short time. You have had so much pain and have done so much searching isn't it time to love the person you are and have some joy and self love. I wish you the best.❤

I need to hear others stories. I need strength.
