Stacy thought he was living the dream when she landed a job overseas, a step closer to my ambitions. But as fate would have it, she left behind a shattered soul. Stacy boyfriend killed himself because he felt Stacy had abandoned him and she never saw it coming.
As Stacy embraced the opportunity that lay ahead, she broke ties with her past life, or so she thought. Stacy boyfriend was battling with mental illness, but she chose to ignore the signs, blinded by the fact she thought it just go away considering on a better future.
They were inseperat, a bond stronger than gorilla glue. Stacy couldn't imagine a life without her boyfriend but she didn't realize the toll it had taken on him. He tried to tell her, tried to express his fears and insecurities, but as usual she pushed him away, trying to distance herself from a problem that she thought would eventually disappear.
When Stacy received the call that changed her life forever, but it was too late. He was gone, his pain unbearable, and Stacy was left to deal with the guilt of abandoning him.
Mental illness is a severe condition that shouldn’t be overlooked. It affects millions of people worldwide. It requires a straight forward approach and a compassionate understanding for those who are suffering.
In the end, let this be a reminder that mental health should be taken seriously, for it can break not just hearts but also borders.
This is the story of many people. It is often too late, unfortunately. Mental health is indeed important. It’s unfortunate that we lose lakhs of people to suicide each year. Sadly, a lot of them never reach out for help. Thank you for this reminder!
