Charlotte Dawson's Legacy

[izabsmiling]

I hope that in the future if not today open discussion on Depression and Mental Illness can carry on...

Thoughts and best wishes to all who loved and cared for and about you .

“Charlotte was a beautiful person physically, but she also had a beautiful soul. She was kind, loving and generous,” Vicky said.

“She was a kind, loving and generous person and worked tirelessly for the causes she believed in.

I thought she was brilliant when she confronted her online trolls in public.

Showed them for the weak pathetic people they were.

RIP Ms Dawson

Nev, you have no idea how much I wish it could just stop.It rips my heart out to see 2 young people I love deal with Mental Illness ....as a Mum I want to take it on myself and off them ...I can't.There are some things I can do to help them and other people like them.Charlotte knew that and did what she could to helps others in her life ...I will try too .

PH, I have posted through this thread what it is about .Repeated questioning and advice re this thread can be avoided if the whole thread is read.

Chuks post is an great post imo and the opinion of those who kudo'd it and I totally agree with her as is Az's most recent one 

I want to help improve and save lives..................not be part of the problem which could result in loss of a life.

we need to educate people to NOT put such words on a screen in the first place.

i agree with that, but it is STILL going to happen, or people in a sensitive state are going to see things in a negative way, that is part of mental illness, so isn't it a good approach to teach coping skills and resilience?

People need to know alternative methods to help themselves not fall victim.

Personally I have no need or desire or excuse for  doing that to someone else.

I would not like myself if I did.
