"Suicide is the leading cause of death in the first year after a mum has given birth"

Key takeaways from this podcast

Compassion, kindness and listening to someone goes a huge way to helping people who are struggling with their mental health or feeling suicidal.
Having the courage to speak to someone about your mental health can bring you hope.

Like a lot of new parents, especially mums, Gill Skene was both scared and excited about becoming a parent but for Gill, the birth of her daughter was anything but perfect and the impact left her deeply shocked. Gill suffered from post-natal PTSD – something which is estimated to affect more than 30,000 women in the UK each year. After her daughter was born, Gill attempted suicide twice. She now feels ready and able to talk about that period of her life for Speaking of Suicide and how recovery led her to set up a peer support charity LATNEM to help other’s cope with traumatic birth experiences.

Karen Sykes - Speak Their Name and the risk from losing both husband and daughter to suicide 49:11

13 weeks sitten49:11

49:11

"I'm a nurse of nearly 40 years and I didn't realise that after Ian's death that both myself and our children, Beth and all the children, were at higher risk of dying to suicide. That never actually entered my head." Key takeaways from this episode: If you lose a loved one to suicide that puts you at significant risk of suicide yourself and other mental health problems, particularly in the first year after losing them. Don't be afraid of that vulnerability but use that knowledge of risk to protect yourself by seeking out the right kind of support to help you. Karen lost her husband, Ian, to suicide very suddenly in October 2015 then the unimaginable happened and her daughter, Beth, took her own life just 4 years later. In this heart-breaking episode Karen celebrates and remembers just what Ian and Beth brought to her life and shares with incredibly clarity and honesty how difficult it has been to cope with losing them. She admits how difficult it has been to deal with the grief and shares the incredible support and value she's found by seeking out other people who have lived experience of losing loved ones to suicide. "the judgment wasn't there, there was no judgment. It was safe. You were with people who just got it...and that permission to be sad if you want to be sad but also that permission to laugh as well and to have good days and and to enjoy life...just made such a big difference" She also talks about the origins of speaktheirname.org, an organisation created to help those bereaved by suicide, initially through the collaborative creation of a memorial quilt but now by offering up a shared space on their website where loved ones who took their own life can be remembered, commemorated and celebrated. It also provides resources to help those bereaved by suicide. If you need someone to talk to, you can text Mikeysline on 07786 20 77 55 or contact via messenger, webchat or X.

Orlagh and Sara - How do you explain suicide to a curious child? 38:26

15 weeks sitten38:26

38:26

"How was a nine-year-old supposed to feel? I didn't know what to say or think. I was emotionless at the time...everyone around me crumbled down in sadness, crying, deafening wailing, some pacing the floor, leaving the room. I thought I had to be like them. Am I supposed to cry? I'm not sure how long it took, but when it sunk in, I felt sad. Really, really sad. My mind couldn't understand what had happened to Callum, but I knew I'd never ever see him again" Key takeaways: Knowing what to say and when about suicide to young people is incredibly challenging but hearing this story show's a mum's trust in her daughter's ability to hear the truth was well founded. Hearing the truth was extremely valuable for Orlagh, she's certain if she didn't hear it from her mum then she would have heard it through other means which may have been much more troubling. Although Orlagh was only 9 when she lost her older cousin, Callum, to suicide, the impact of his death and particularly her trying to understand how his death came about and why, has rippled through her life. In this tender and thought-provoking conversation Orlagh (now 16) and her mum Sara talk incredibly honestly about the devastating impact suicide has had on the family but also how they have managed to gently navigate the challenges of discussing Callum's death with truth and clarity. If you need someone to talk to, you can text Mikeysline on 07786 20 77 55 or contact via messenger, webchat or X. Sun-Thurs 6pm-10pm & Fri-Sat 6pm-11pm.

Mhairi Ross - saved by a simple question at a moment of crisis 35:46

17 weeks sitten35:46

35:46

"Everything came to a head one night, and fortunately, the right person asked me 'are you ok, what's wrong?' and I just broke down" Key takeaways from this podcast: Asking if someone is ok can literally save their life, never be afraid to ask. Don't be afraid to ask someone if they're feeling suicidal, it won't put the thought in their head, you won't make things worse by asking. After losing several important and close family members paramedic Mhairi went on a sharp decent into a crippling depression. Unable to share how she was feeling with anyone she hit crisis point. Fortunately the right person asked her if she was ok just at the right time and Mhairi was brave enough to admit that she wasn't. Fast forward 2.5 years and Mhairi, together with her partner Alan, found the mental and physical strength to take on an epic challenge, to row unsupported round the coast of the UK in an extraordinary and utterly gruelling world record attempt. So how do you go from rock bottom where you're contemplating suicide to pushing yourself to your limits? Mhairi talks with incredible candour and honesty about how difficult it was to work her way back to good mental health and about how the experience has changed the person she is today. You can follow Mhairi and Alan's journey on the Long Row Home podcast series . If you need someone to talk to, you can text Mikeysline on 07786 20 77 55 or contact via messenger, webchat or X.

Alex Anderson - Can good ever come from tragedy? 38:50

19 weeks sitten38:50

38:50

"I think about him all the time really. But it's not every minute of every day, it's not every hour every day." Key takeaways from this podcast The perspective surrounding grief will evolve with time. Alex describes a hand in front of his face in the early stages of grief that slowly moves away allowing his perspective to change with time. The hand always remains there, but the picture around it fills up the space more with time. Don't harbour guilt. We hear from Alex how It can be a companion in the background but needn't be in the foreground if you lose someone close to you to suicide. Alex lost his younger brother, Will, to suicide in February 2021. One of four brothers, Will had a wonderful twinkling megawatt smile who loved his role as a primary school music teacher. But struggling with his mental health on the inside, his struggles were made worse by the restrictions of lockdown. It has taken Alex until recently to be able to speak about Will and his loss, but in this conversation he describes how the family have learnt more about the positive impact Will had on his pupils in life. Reflecting on his own grieving process, Alex describes how he now finds focus and perspective on the things that really matter in life much easier now. Although this makes life much healthier today for Alex it drives guilt in him. Alex says it honours his memory, celebrates the positives strengths Will had and he sees that as something good to come from his grief and how the family remember Will.

"The first thought that went through my head was that it was not meant to be... ...this is not the end of your story, you are still needed on this planet, in this life" Key takeaways from this podcast We don't always have internal permission to do something, to open up. So by doing it slowly, gently and carefully Tom was building courage to remove stigma. Tom van den Hurk revealed his own suicide attempt in a previous episode of the podcast when he was talking about called A Little While Longer. The film told the story of three men who had survived and were rebuilding their lives. But Tom had his own story, that the film didn’t tell. He had attempted to take his own life when he was a teen, Tom joins Dan again to talk about the how the day he survived that attempt, age 16, turned his entire life around.

I think we feel a huge responsibility for our area and for our community. You always want to be able to do more, to have all the answers" Key takeaways from this podcast 1. There are practical things you can do and learn to help support others around you with their mental health. 2. Football and wider sport are great vehicles for helping bring suicide support to communities around Scotland and break down stigma. For Ross County CEO Steven Ferguson, football has a fundamental role in helping to promote good mental health, right across the community. As a result, for the first time in its history, Ross County Football Club is sporting a charity logo on its strip – Mikeysline. In this frank and thought-provoking conversation, on World Mental Health Day, Mikeysline Ambassador Steven Ferguson talks to Dan Holland about the importance of good mental health both on and off the pitch and how he views both his own role and the role of Ross County as a vehicle of support.

Key takeaways from this podcast Young people affected by suicide can carry huge anger, pain and confusion if they lose a parent The biggest risk factor for young people affected by suicide is not being able to express their feelings. In this extraordinary episode Aileen shares how her husband, Josh, took his own life 10 years ago, leaving her to bring up 3 young children. She talks about how difficult it was to tell her children about what had happened, and the role honesty has played in their coping as a family.

Sheila Lockhart – reflecting on a brother through poetry 47:09

29 weeks sitten47:09

47:09

"It's absolutely true that bereavement by suicide is completely different from any other kind of bereavement. And don't think you ever get over it." Key takeaways from this podcast Don't assume that just because a family member may have been ill for some time, the grief and sense of loss is any less. It's not. Talking about grief and loss for some people is very hard and crippling. Find a way to get support that works for you if you are grieving. Writer Sheila Lockhart shares some of her recent poetry collection, Brother, inspired by her brother, Simon, who took his own life 8 years ago after a lifetime of mental ill health. Hugely bright and intelligent but reclusive and withdrawn, Simon shared little of his struggles of living with bi-polar. Despite previous suicide attempts, his choice to take his own life at the age of 62 had a huge impact on Sheila. Moving, hugely thought provoking and beautifully written, Sheila’s work is a deeply honest study in grief and loss, and the ways in which losing Simon has haunted her.

"I pulled into lay by, and I cried my heart out. I howled, I pleaded, I looked at the sky, looked at everything, and I was like, please help me. I need some help" Key takeaways from this podcast It is possible to recover from trauma. When someone is struggling with their mental health don't ask "what's wrong with you?" Instead ask "What happened to you?" There is no one way to find healing for your mental health. Everyone is different in what they find helps. Riddled with anxiety, struggling with depression and feeling suicidal, Paul Cameron started using social media as his superpower to shift his way of thinking about himself. By recording short regular videos and sharing them online, Paul has come to realise that exposing his vulnerabilities gives him strength and helps him be positive about the world. After a chaotic childhood Paul struggled with life that didn’t lurch from one out of control event to the next. But parenthood meant he had to try and find clarity and calm in his head to be able to bring up his child. In this episode Paul talks candidly about how Tik Tok helped him turn a corner.

"He'd come into the kitchen, obviously, to eat his lunch, and something in his head thought, nah, like, just do it now" Key takeaways from this podcast There are some risk factors that can lead to suicidal thoughts which can be identified Suicide is nobody's fault, there is no blame linked to suicide. There isn’t a day that goes by that Georgia doesn’t think about her brother Callum and his profoundly shocking choice to take his own life in what seemed like a spur of the moment decision. Nothing had prepared Georgia for suicide and the impact it has had on her life is heartbreaking. An incredibly raw, challenging and emotional listen which brings into sharp relief just how painful suicide is for the loved ones it leaves behind.

"When I was a teenager I just felt I couldn't carry this pain any longer, it was just too much" Key takeaways from this podcast There is huge value in just pausing and taking a little while longer before taking any actions. If you stop and pause then hopefully you will find other routes out of your pain. Every 2 hours a man in the UK takes his own life. Inspired by that appalling statistic, film makers Tom van den Hurk and Dr Isa Rao spoke to 3 men about their mental health in their compelling documentary film, A Little While Longer, filmed on Arran. In this episode Tom van den Hurk and David Barbour, who took part in the film, talk candidly about their own experiences of surviving suicide and the value of breaking down stigma through stories.

“I got home and that’s when the sort of night terrors and the day terrors started. I was overwhelmed by fear for the baby’s health, I assumed I would be the person that would cause her pain and suffering and therefore it would have been better for me to be elsewhere” Key takeaways from this podcast We need to normalise the conversation about post-natal depression without stigma or judgement. Post-natal mental health difficulties can manifest themselves in several different ways None of the conditions associated with post-natal depression mean that you are a bad mother or parent. Kate Forbes MSP talks candidly about what she went through as one of the 1 in 10 women who experience crippling post-natal depression, something which left her with a deep fear of her baby daughter coming to harm. In this engaging and utterly honest conversation Kate talks about her expectations of becoming a mum and how the reality left her feeling like a total failure, out of control and unable to sleep for fear of something bad happening to her daughter, Naomi. Nothing had prepared her for the psychological turmoil of post-natal depression, she didn’t even realise that what she was experiencing was post-natal depression. Kate also shares how the experience has changed her as a politician, made her more compassionate and want to focus on mental health support across society.

Catherine Simpson – a love letter to Tricia, a lost sister 46:06

1 year sitten46:06

46:06

Episode take-away: Find out what the specific thing is which helps you deal with losing someone you love and if you come from a world where silence is the norm, find a way to break it. It’s coming up for 10 years since Catherine Simpson’s sister, Tricia, took her own life. In the aftermath of Tricia’s death Catherine – who’s a journalist and writer – went on a quest, picking through Tricia’s diaries, to try and get a better understanding of who her sister was and why she decided to take her life. The resulting book When I had a little sister is beautifully crafted, hugely thought provoking, at times funny and of course desperately sad. Most of all its profoundly honest. Catherine never thought she’d be able to write about Tricia, that she’d find it too hard, but the process of writing, when she came to it, felt like she’d spent time with her sister which was very healing and thought provoking. “In a way it was almost been like a joint project with Tricia to try and de-stigmatise mental health, to talk about suicide” It’s a story of frustration and anger certainly, some of which is directed at the consequences of growing up in a rural community where feelings were never discussed and silence prevailed, but more than anything else it’s a story of deep affection “in a way it’s a love letter to Tricia…a loving memorial to her”.

Gemma - an inspirational story of loving life after an eating disorder 41:44

Episode takeaways: support makes all the difference and breaking the shame cycle means change can happen. Struggling with an eating disorder significantly increases your risk of suicide so don't struggle on your own. Gemma's takeaway is “please don’t give up on yourself, seek support, reach out…it is possible to have a life after an eating disorder” Gemma was very young when she started to struggle with how she felt about her own body. What started as over exercising spiralled into a long-term battle with bulimia and eventually, she attempted to take her own life. This is a hugely honest and insightful deep dive under the skin of how isolating and shameful it feels to have an eating disorder. Eventually Gemma managed to find the support of others and gradually turned her life around. She says “recovery is not a straight line, its not easy” but recover she did and she’s now sharing her story with the aim of giving hope to others.
