SIMON GUNNING: SUICIDE IS THE BIGGEST KILLER OF PEOPLE UNDER 30
‘How are you?’ - a question we don't ask enough, but one Simon Gunning wants us to ask more often. Ahead of World Mental Health Day, I’m joined by Simon, CEO of CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), a charity dedicated to suicide prevention, raising awareness, and offering practical support. As an ambassador for CALM and someone who has had struggles with anxiety myself, this conversation means a lot to me, and one that is important to share.
TW - this conversation contains discussion of suicide which some listeners might find distressing.
There are some staggering stats about death by suicide in recent years and yet it’s still such a difficult thing to talk about but charities like CALM are breaking down barriers and really shining light into a topic which can sometimes feel intolerably dark. Simon and I reflect on our relationships with our fathers, how a handshake was his only physical connection with his dad, and why these generational silences shape men’s aptitudes of emotion.
This episode is about why leaning into the uncomfortable can be life changing - or indeed, saving.
And if you, or anyone you know is affected by anything in today’s episode, you can speak to Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) in confidence. Find out more about CALM's helpline, tools and resources at thecalmzone.net
And one of the ways to support CALM's life-saving work is through the latest Omaze Million Pound House Draw - offering the chance to win a luxurious home in Devon worth over £2,000,000 - plus £250,000 in cash - with paid entries starting from £10. Draw entries are available now at @omazeuk.The Draw closes at midnight on Sunday 27th October.

Before the astronomical success of “Human”, Rory spent years in the underground music scene, alongside being a carer - the best job ...

    Hi My brother took his own life at the age of 27 in 1996. this was due to domestic violence from his wife. It was a horrific experience to go through, particularly for me as i was in a similar situation, and unfortunately i was unaware he was going through the same thing. The hardest thing i found was how people treated me afterwards. I needed to talk about it it but it was such a taboo subject that people would look at me with pity in their eyes, but didnt want talk to me because they didnt know what to say or how to broach the subject. I was very lucky that i worked with 2 other people that had been through the same experience so we supported each other. Since losing my brother i have always talked about it and shared my experience so that it brings more awareness to suicide, in the hope that if someone else is going through this experience that they know they are not alone. I truly hope that people will stop treating suicide like its a dirty secret that should be kept hidden away. As you have discussed here, many people have suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives, these people need to know that there is help out there and there is no shame in asking for it, if anyone you know is going through a hard situation, let them know you are there for listening and supporting, it can make such a difference and could save a life. For anyone reading this comment please understand that being able to talk about their lost loved one will help with the grief process, its no difference just because the loss was from suicide, they have still lost someone very precious, the loss is still as bad if not worse than losing someone through illness or natural causes, at least you have a reason for the loss, you dont always get that with a suicide you are left with so many questions and no resolution as to why and sometimes its a lot worse to have to carry on living with no reason why their loved one made this decision.

    I nearly disagree with virtually everything here. The real world beyond this middle class English bubble is not like this. It has nothing to offer the world as a whole. I don't accept childhood affects us at all. It is a false Freudian theory easily disproven by a myriad of studies, history and hard science. He promotes psychotherapy which has not one piece of evidence to prove it works. In fact CBT is similar to religious acts such as confession. These do-gooders really need to join a mercenary army and go and fight Putin's army. Then return and see if they believe this psychobabble.
