@@DrAlexGeorge I've been dealing with mental health from I've been 13 now I'm in my 30s and the help that is there doesn't work for me but I just struggle on and I dont know how...rip
@@belfastwhatsapp similar to my son, who is now 22. Mental health services are very bad indeed. Try to stay strong, and let those that are able to be there for you give their help and support. Also, look into charities near you that often offer counselling. Contact Mind, the mental health charity, who will be able to point you in the right direction. Speak to your GP too. I hope you are able to get the help you need so you can be well again very soon.
@@jacquelinesherlock2274 I've had the cbt which actually done nothing to improve but might benefit other people..I used to take a drug called blues/diazepam when I was 21 which helped quite alot but doctors dont prescribe them as they are addictive so ii bought them on the street just and they where a life saver but I haven't took them from them and just struggle through it everyday and put on a strong and happy face...hope your son gets better
@@belfastwhatsapp CBT can be great for helping with the day to day symptoms, but it doesn't really do anything to help with the cause of the symptoms. If you think about the cause of your problems, whether abuse of any kind, bullying, family mental ill health, or outside psychological influence on you, then I am sure you will find a charity who have trained psychotherapists working with them that would be able to offer you proper counselling. 💙
I am so sorry mate... the pain you must be going through must hurt so much. I lost one of my friends to suicide in 2017 and it still impacts me a lot, and you're handling it so good. I'm glad that you're first instinct after this is to help others, speaks volumes for the person you are! Stay strong mate, I'm sure he's proud knowing how much you care about this.
Sadly school taught us nothing to set us up for adult life.

the grief you feel when you lose someone to suicide is the worst grief you can feel. you seem to be dealing with the grief in the best way you possibly could. suicide and mental health needs to be spoken about more
Only treating it. Still bad at preventing problems from developing in the first place, in some ways worse - more work and school pressure, more phone time, less social time...
Total respect for your courage to share this difficult time and still think of others. So sorry for your loss. Sending u prayers and postive vibes. You are making your brother proud.
I suffer from really bad anxiety and have had to drop out after my first year of university, I'm hoping to continue again next year. What you said is right, metal health is such a taboo subject and keeps being brushed under the carpet. This is something that needs to become compulsory in the curriculum. We must educate each other and stop ignoring this. Keep going, Alex! Sending you all my love! ❤
Athena, I had to interrupt my studies in April because of mental health. I almost left the course, but going back on it now. I hope you can get back on your course, if that’s what you’d like to do.
You can do it, I’ve been right where you are. Now I’m in my last semester, graduating in dec. Do what you need to do to make sure you are mentally and emotionally ok . I wish you nothing but success as you continue with your schooling when the time is right 💕
I finally signed up for therapy for depression when I saw your interview on tv. Mental health needs to be spoken about and as you said shouldn't be a taboo subject xx
Sweetheart its never a "goodbye" its only ever "till we meet again" he will always be by your side guiding you and protecting you I promise you that xxxxxxxxxx
I lost my young brother too to Mental Health, two years ago. I understand completely what you’re going through. Thanks for all that you are doing, it is very much appreciated 💙
I think you are absolutely wonderful and wish you and your family all the best. Carry on with the amazing work you are doing . Your brother is very very proud of you xxx
Alex to use your platform like this for real change is the most fitting legacy to your beloved brother who will forever leave his footprint in the world. I have a 10 year old daughter, many of her friends have suffered with anxiety and over time we’ve all I’m sure been touched by mental health. Talking and telling our truth is our most powerful tool - you’ve no idea the strength I’m sure you’ve given others x
I only spoke to Llŷr a handful of times at the start of this year, yet from the few conversations we had it was clear to see how lovely, kind and genuine he was and he gave me such great advice that i will treasure forever. You will always have us Alex and we are all thinking of you and your family, sending you massive amounts of love x
Bless you x I wanted to share that sometimes this loss happens also even when someone is still alive- and its never talked about and should be..i grew up severely neglected and abused from day 1 onwards by a single mother whom has DID and is very narcissistic and a gaslighter. Life was about surviving, never living. Since i had my kids ive been diagnosed with autism( which i could have done with support with as a child) and complex ptsd and dissociative seizures due to my trauma. 7 years ago i felt the need to separate my life from that of my mother in order to begin to mentally heal..tried contact last year but alas mother is too narcissistic so last month i made the incredibly hard decision to completely break all further contact with her forever. I need my strength as i raise and homeschool my two autistic children. Somehow knowing she is still alive keeps the severe pain and loss alive..there's no 'closure ' as usual loss has. Its so sore it hurts in my chest. But im sharing cause no one talks about this scenario..and yet it happens to many ..How to navigate having to let go? Im still struggling to accept it. Any tips or experiences you have please make a video..it may benefit many. Take care you are doing sooo well.😀
100% need a mental health toolkit from a young age. It's something I'd love to be a part of here in NZ. Help kids learn how to take care of their mental and emotional well-being before it gets to a crisis point. Males in particular need guidance on how to navigate big emotions and tough times. Big love to you, it gets easier to deal with the shock but not the loss xx
I'm so sorry to hear about your brother Alex. I think it's fantastic how you are trying to set up a metal health toolbox for schools. let us know if we can help in any way with the mental health toolkit.💖
The Pain Doesn’t Get Smaller But Your Life Gets Bigger I know how you feel: forcing yourself to get back to living seems like a distraction and feels like a betrayal. The path that you walk now will not lead you back to your brother, but you will find other things along the way that will bring you comfort......keep putting one foot in front of the other. ❤️
I used to struggle with my mental health. I’ve started a campaign in my school in order to encourage people to speak out and get help when they need it. It’s devastating to still see stigma around mental health. I took a 2 month course in mental health in order to provide support to students. I cannot empathise enough if you need help please reach out to someone. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. I really appreciate everything that you want to do for schools. I’m so so sorry for your loss. You’re honestly such an inspiration to me and one of the strongest people I know. Stay Strong 💙
Alex , I am 29 I lost my son last year 4 days old I have two elder children the reason I get up every morning, then my best friend my world my mum passed away weeks after my son x you will get through it take your time xx
So incredibly brave of you to make this video Alex, extremely proud of you & what a truly remarkable job you’re doing-we’ll stand shoulder to shoulder with you & support you every step of the way & even in the face of everything you’re going through your strength & positivity shines through as always xx💙💙
My heart goes out to you and ur family.. 💙 speaking about it openly as you are may help you heal some fragment of the grief . Your openness will help so many I'm sure. Stay strong George family .💙 may his soul be at peace 🙏
So sorry for your loss. I’m sure everyone appreciates your frankness. You’re so genuine this must be the hardest video you’ve ever done. Sending love and prayers to you and your family.
Sorry to hear about your brother. Great idea for more help for mental health. How ever dark the night may be there is always a better day ahead. Wish this was available when I was at school so I didn’t have to suffer years of mental health. Will be thinking of you xxx
Reaching out and Conversations with each other around mental need to happen openly and distractions to that removed. Schools must have mental health in curriculum. Stay strong Dr Alex! There is always hope.
Thank you for sharing this with us Alex, your strength is admirable and I am always so proud to see you online and especially the other morning on TV. Keep your chin up and keep doing amazing work. Your brother would be so proud of you too. You are so loved and appreciated. We will continue to fight with you for change and will support you throughout it all. Sending love and well wishes 💙❤️💙
My son has suffered with his mental health since age 14, thankfully he is getting help and here! I can’t imagine what you and your family are going through. Huge hugs and love xx❤️💙❤️
Alex you are so brave to be talking about your experience so soon. You're doing a great job raising awareness of mental health and you will be saving lots of people from going through the same thing as you. Please allow yourself enough time to human. It's ok not to be ok! 💕💕 Sending you and your family all the love in the world
Oh Alex I am so sorry for you and your family’s loss, so utterly devastating for you all. Grief is so physical aswell as emotional and mental, I lost my mum in 2006. She had always struggled with her mental health but she was badly suffering with COPD and it had run her so incredibly low she just couldn’t do it anymore. Talking about them keeps them here ❤️ and relevant in every part of your life. Photos and video can be so hard and testing on your emotions but part of grief therapy is watching and going through it all .....when you’re ready too, acknowledging those memories. I didn’t have any video or phone messages, I so wished I had. I do hope with time you feel stronger, feel the love and support that’s here for you and your cause is a fantastic worthy legacy for your brother🌟
My friend took his own life Aug 4th, he would have been 28 today. The complexity of emotions after losing someone to suicide is so indescribable. I'm so sorry Alex, I'm so sorry! 😥❤
I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine how devastating this must have been for you and your family. You really are someone to look up to especially for younger people. The way you handle everything and your outlook on life and honestly your family must be so proud of you. Xxx
So very sorry for your loss Mental health is soul destroying It's such a such a powerful illness. As a sufferer of mental health and severe Anxiety myself my ❤ Genuinely goes out to You and your family. Sending prayers 🙏
Alex ... thank you so much for this video ... if only I could hug you through the tv screen ... instead I send you virtual 🤗 hugs .. you've got this ... your brother would be very proud of you ... ... thank you for sharing xx
I can't even imagine :( my little brother is my whole world. My favourite person. Sending you love and support ❤️ make sure to reach out if you need help yourself
Keep doing everything you do. You are incredible and help so many people. When i struggled with my mental health in my early teens I reached out and got help and today I went and got my university ID and I start my lectures on Monday to become an Operating department practitioner. You motivated me to keep strong and to persue a career in the NHS. You don't need to thank us as we all love you and want you to be okay and want your family to be given time to grieve and think of all the amazing memories you have with your amazing brother. Sending love always ❤❤
you are so strong alex and although you will always miss him he will always be with you by your side. your making him proud and keep going because you are so strong❤️
I work in mental health & I think the toolkit is a great idea. I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my sister when she was 19 & it's heartbreaking. Sending you love & strength to cope, however that looks ❤
I am sending so much love to you and your family. I can’t ever understand the unimaginable pain of losing someone to mental health. I have suffered myself with mental health and that toolkit you’re working on for schools and universities sounds like an amazing resource. My school (although over 5 years ago now) never spoke about mental health at all. I didn’t know what depression or anxiety actually was and I had no idea about different charities or resources that were available. If i had been aware of the sort of things out there like I do now it would’ve saved me years of pain. Your positivity and mindset is a breath of fresh air.
Hi Dr Alex, I'm not sure if you have time to see these messages, but my 15 year old sister Pippa sadly ran out in front of an oncoming train and took her own life it's the worst most heart wrenching experience I've ever had to go through .......there is nothing that can take away this feeling you are feeling now, but please take comfort in these words. Time is a healer, focus on yourself and family! Your brother WOULDN'T want you too feel to feel this way I promise you that......Remember there is no time limit on grief, just please focus on your own mental wellbeing and that way you will be able to help people around you be there best self. Sending you lots of love, positivity and you've got this!!🌻🌻🌻❤❤❤
Dear Alex, you will never get over it but you will always have the memories! Such an awful loss for you and your family. Sending you much love and hope you have a wonderful life, even with the devastating loss of your brother. Take care of yourself xxxxxx⚘
I promise, promise, it gets better. You never forget, and the sadness is never completely gone, but the happy memories come through much stronger than the bad. Be sad when you need to be, it’s important. Sending so much love. You are amazing.
I’m so sorry for your loss💔 The fact that you can use such a negative experience and turn it around and try and spread awareness of mental health is so inspiring and you should be so proud of yourself! Stay strong💜
My son is 16, he’s been suffering from anxiety and depression for over a year now after he suffered bullying in high school. He won’t go to therapy and in the current climate it’s difficult to get any support so I’m helping him myself with self help books I’ve read on anxiety in the past as I too have an anxiety disorder, He’s decided against college because of the children he wants to avoid now he’s finished high school, so we’re supporting his decision and keeping him positive. Once covid is over he said he wants to get an apprenticeship, and I really do hope he achieves that. He’s lost all his friends as they turned to drugs and turned on my son for not wanting to do them. He’s made friends online gaming during covid and he’s so much happier but he’s still not going out much. He will take a morning walk now and again. I’m trying not to push him and just go at his pace. Sending you my love Alex. I’m so sorry for your loss xxx
I kinda believe I relate to that I myself finished school but just over a year ago I suffered with mental health for about 5 years and my friends took their own path I also after leaving school wanted to avoid those I went to school with I have done an apprenticeship for the past year and I have felt happier I still had the pain and its never gone away but I felt better!
As someone who deals with people going through mental health issues in workplace it's great to see you discuss the issues which are close to you. I don't know if you know people are still using false accounts with your name pretending to be you too
Keep your head high pal ive been suffering with mental health and im currently having counselling and they are helping me but keep your head high pal 💙
Sending you and your family so much love ❤️ thank you for being so open, crazy to think how many lives you save every day not just at a&e but through spreading awareness and encouragement on social media. You're an inspiration.
Sending you so much love Alex. It is the worst thing loosing a precious family member or anyone. I went through a terrible time I lost my brother my mum my sister then my nephew in a year. At the time I was in a major major black hole and dint think I would ever come out again I couldn’t function. But with help from my dear husband and other family members I am finally getting out there again. You never get over it but you learn to live your life in a different way. God bless you darling brother may he rest in peace and god bless you Alex please look after yourself believe me with time it will get a bit easier. Sending so much love xxxx
So sorry for u and ur families loss. I have lost friends also to Mental Health and I myself am a Mental Health sufferer. Thank u for telling us ur story and experience as it isn't talked about enough 😢
You are a remarkable person. Even though you are suffering with such an immense tragedy you are still trying to help other people.The way you are coping with such a tragic loss is really inspiring and encouraging for others going through something similar. Keep going ❤️
Sending so much love ❤️ It's about time there is change in this world. Mental health is not discussed enough in school, college and life beyond. People are not being educated and as a result the people suffering can often feel like they don't know where to turn. My mental health started in college and there was no support or understanding at this time. This needs to be a priority in this day and age... We need to get this to parliament there needs to be some sort of movement to get this taught in school. I will do anything I can to help with this topic.
Thinking of you and your family Alex. You’ve shown the world that mental health is a huge issue and should be treated in the same way as any physical health issue. I suffered from depression earlier this year and thankfully have come out the other side now but found there was still such a stigma surrounding my illness which is so wrong.
I was absolutely devastated when I heard the news. You have been such a beacon of light for myself (and others) during this pandemic and are an inspiration to many.
When my father died my lige divided into two sections, myself before his death and myself after, and my past self died along with him. It's been a decade and I am in a better place but it will forever be a struggle to work with.
It’s a life skill no body thinks they will need until they do. Having knowledge on how to cope when life doesn’t go your way is imperative and will save lives. I totally support your cause and i’m sorry for your loss Alex. xx
I’m sorry for your loss ❤️ Maybe as a podcast episode or something you could speak more about Llyr and his life. Maybe about what he was like and what he enjoyed. His friends, school, hobbies. And on maybe what it’s been like for you and your family following his death and what those first few days/weeks were like. Of course this is personal to your family so no pressure. Yet so often we here these declarations about ‘focus on mental health’ which is good, but very rarely hear about how it can truly affect anyone even if you can’t see it, and what life is like for those around you if something tragic happens. The TH-cam ‘camandfam’ did a very very eye opening video discussing her husbands suicide recently. Very eye opening but I’m sure helpful to those going through it or dealing with troubling thoughts.
Alex, you are a very brave young man. You have a wonderfully kind soul. Channeling your grief into such a positive thing would make your brother so very proud. My son has ADHD/ASD and struggles quite badly with his mental health. I think it’s imperative that schools can confidently educate our children in mental health and well-being as it is unfortunately sadly lacking. It’s about time the education system became less of a ‘one size fits all’ institution and embrace individual talents, rather than figures and failures. Sending my full support and best wishes to you xx
So sorry for your loss Alex, such a fantastic thing to do to carry on your passion of mental health awareness and the tool kit sounds brilliant, I'm sure your brother is smiling down on you and very proud. Take care, love and thoughts are with you and your family xxx
So sorry for your loss Alex, I know how you feel, I’m 30 and lost my Dad (best friend) in May last year through sepsis and complications after an artificial heart valve replacement, never a day goes by where I don’t think of him and the mental drain and stress it has put on myself is hard but keep fighting 👍 our loved ones will always be in our hearts 💕. Take care
Thank you for making this video Alex. It is so important to talk about mental health and the impact it can have. My brother took his life in May of this year after a very long struggle with anxiety and depression which had gone on for over 20 years. I take comfort from the fact that he is n longer struggling and is at peace. But there are lessons to be learned: Services are often poorly resourced, forcing professionals to make incredibly hard decision about who does or, more importantly, who doesn't receive support; individuals can all too easily attract labels which ultimately become obstacles to care and support; it can feel like a real battle to try to get people the support that they need and the whole business of 'navigating' the mental health 'system' can be a nightmare, particularly if the individual has no family or where they do, the family does not have the confidence or ability to push for services to respond. At times these difficulties call into question the values of the professionals involved, as far too many people are left with little or no support. I'm hoping that Serious Incident Reviews and an Inquest will help services to learn those lessons and not simply become platitudes. I wish you well in dealing with your own circumstances. I wish you well also with the introduction of your 'tool kit'. Thank you again for putting this out.
Your strength and courage is unbelievable, I admire you for sharing your story to raise awareness of mental health, you have helped so many already just with your personal experience. Sending all the best wishes have light, love and happiness x

Comes from the fact that most mental units were always hid away round the bend with in the area. And losing the plot. Comes from mental hosp units been hid away on lost plots of land..it can happen to any one be careful wat you say. God bless n take care. I wish you peace & happiness. Xxx

(By the way I’m a small TH-camr looking for your support?)
I didn’t create this quote but I just wanted to spread positivity ❤️
Re watching this makes it even more clear what a bond alex and his brother had. Family is more important than any material object
Its brilliant they'd such beautiful brilliant bond What drove him to the edge ,poor lovely young mn
the grief you feel when you lose someone to suicide is the worst grief you can feel. you seem to be dealing with the grief in the best way you possibly could. suicide and mental health needs to be spoken about more
I think these days mental health is taken a bit more seriously, but I still think we have a long away to go
Only treating it. Still bad at preventing problems from developing in the first place, in some ways worse - more work and school pressure, more phone time, less social time...
So sorry for your loss, there’s no words to make this better, but we are all here for you, always 💙
Thank you 💙💙
Total respect for your courage to share this difficult time and still think of others. So sorry for your loss. Sending u prayers and postive vibes. You are making your brother proud.
Sorry for your loss.
I suffer from really bad anxiety and have had to drop out after my first year of university, I'm hoping to continue again next year. What you said is right, metal health is such a taboo subject and keeps being brushed under the carpet. This is something that needs to become compulsory in the curriculum. We must educate each other and stop ignoring this. Keep going, Alex! Sending you all my love! ❤
💙
Athena, I had to interrupt my studies in April because of mental health. I almost left the course, but going back on it now. I hope you can get back on your course, if that’s what you’d like to do.
Sending you sooo much love. You have got this!! xxxx
You can do it, I’ve been right where you are. Now I’m in my last semester, graduating in dec. Do what you need to do to make sure you are mentally and emotionally ok . I wish you nothing but success as you continue with your schooling when the time is right 💕
Fi ❤️❤️❤️
So glad you're here... You matter and you make such a difference and will continue to do wonderful things I know. Thinking of you all
💙
Stay strong mate! You lil brother is looking at you from heaven 🙏
I finally signed up for therapy for depression when I saw your interview on tv. Mental health needs to be spoken about and as you said shouldn't be a taboo subject xx
💙
Absolutely unimaginable. So sorry for your loss mate. Make him proud 💙
💙
Sweetheart its never a "goodbye" its only ever "till we meet again" he will always be by your side guiding you and protecting you I promise you that xxxxxxxxxx
💙
Mate you don’t realise how much of a positive influence you have on people’s lives. Keep strong Alex❤️
Beautiful brilliant kind considerate compassionate comments
I lost my young brother too to Mental Health, two years ago. I understand completely what you’re going through. Thanks for all that you are doing, it is very much appreciated 💙
💙
@Alex George This is clearly a scam! Absolutely disgusting trying to scam people on this thread!
I think you are absolutely wonderful and wish you and your family all the best. Carry on with the amazing work you are doing . Your brother is very very proud of you xxx
💙
I may never fathom how painful this loss is for you; you are in my thoughts and prayers! Sending lots of love 💕
💙
Alex to use your platform like this for real change is the most fitting legacy to your beloved brother who will forever leave his footprint in the world. I have a 10 year old daughter, many of her friends have suffered with anxiety and over time we’ve all I’m sure been touched by mental health. Talking and telling our truth is our most powerful tool - you’ve no idea the strength I’m sure you’ve given others x
💙
I only spoke to Llŷr a handful of times at the start of this year, yet from the few conversations we had it was clear to see how lovely, kind and genuine he was and he gave me such great advice that i will treasure forever. You will always have us Alex and we are all thinking of you and your family, sending you massive amounts of love x
💙
Bless you x
I wanted to share that sometimes this loss happens also even when someone is still alive- and its never talked about and should be..i grew up severely neglected and abused from day 1 onwards by a single mother whom has DID and is very narcissistic and a gaslighter. Life was about surviving, never living. Since i had my kids ive been diagnosed with autism( which i could have done with support with as a child) and complex ptsd and dissociative seizures due to my trauma. 7 years ago i felt the need to separate my life from that of my mother in order to begin to mentally heal..tried contact last year but alas mother is too narcissistic so last month i made the incredibly hard decision to completely break all further contact with her forever. I need my strength as i raise and homeschool my two autistic children. Somehow knowing she is still alive keeps the severe pain and loss alive..there's no 'closure ' as usual loss has. Its so sore it hurts in my chest. But im sharing cause no one talks about this scenario..and yet it happens to many ..How to navigate having to let go? Im still struggling to accept it. Any tips or experiences you have please make a video..it may benefit many. Take care you are doing sooo well.😀
Hi Alex Im watching you since the pandemic. You are fantastic doctor. We all can learn from You a lot. Thank You so much.
💙
So sad. A young 19 year old lad with aspiring dreams taken away. Heaven has gained an angel. 🙏
100% need a mental health toolkit from a young age. It's something I'd love to be a part of here in NZ. Help kids learn how to take care of their mental and emotional well-being before it gets to a crisis point. Males in particular need guidance on how to navigate big emotions and tough times.
Big love to you, it gets easier to deal with the shock but not the loss xx
I'm so sorry to hear about your brother Alex. I think it's fantastic how you are trying to set up a metal health toolbox for schools. let us know if we can help in any way with the mental health toolkit.💖
💙
Amazing bravery to share this. I know it will help people in similar situations to hear you talk about your tragedy. 👍
The Pain Doesn’t Get Smaller But Your Life Gets Bigger
I know how you feel: forcing yourself to get back to living seems like a distraction and feels like a betrayal. The path that you walk now will not lead you back to your brother, but you will find other things along the way that will bring you comfort......keep putting one foot in front of the other. ❤️
Thinking of you. An amazing legacy for your brother and you both will help support many others. Sending my love.
💙
I used to struggle with my mental health. I’ve started a campaign in my school in order to encourage people to speak out and get help when they need it. It’s devastating to still see stigma around mental health. I took a 2 month course in mental health in order to provide support to students. I cannot empathise enough if you need help please reach out to someone. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. I really appreciate everything that you want to do for schools. I’m so so sorry for your loss. You’re honestly such an inspiration to me and one of the strongest people I know. Stay Strong 💙
💙
Heart broken for you. You are amazingly strong. Llyr will be so,so proud of you xx
💙
Alex , I am 29 I lost my son last year 4 days old I have two elder children the reason I get up every morning, then my best friend my world my mum passed away weeks after my son x you will get through it take your time xx

My heart goes out to you and ur family.. 💙 speaking about it openly as you are may help you heal some fragment of the grief . Your openness will help so many I'm sure. Stay strong George family .💙 may his soul be at peace 🙏
So sorry for your loss. I’m sure everyone appreciates your frankness. You’re so genuine this must be the hardest video you’ve ever done. Sending love and prayers to you and your family.
💙
Sorry to hear about your brother. Great idea for more help for mental health. How ever dark the night may be there is always a better day ahead.
Wish this was available when I was at school so I didn’t have to suffer years of mental health. Will be thinking of you xxx
💙
Reaching out and Conversations with each other around mental need to happen openly and distractions to that removed. Schools must have mental health in curriculum. Stay strong Dr Alex! There is always hope.
💙
Nice to see you back with us Dr and I know you are strong bro
💙
Thank you for sharing this with us Alex, your strength is admirable and I am always so proud to see you online and especially the other morning on TV. Keep your chin up and keep doing amazing work. Your brother would be so proud of you too. You are so loved and appreciated. We will continue to fight with you for change and will support you throughout it all. Sending love and well wishes 💙❤️💙
💙
My son has suffered with his mental health since age 14, thankfully he is getting help and here! I can’t imagine what you and your family are going through. Huge hugs and love xx❤️💙❤️
One of the most genuine hearted people especially in celebrities/influencers
Stay strong mate, we love you
Thank you mate 💙
Alex you are so brave to be talking about your experience so soon. You're doing a great job raising awareness of mental health and you will be saving lots of people from going through the same thing as you.
Please allow yourself enough time to human. It's ok not to be ok! 💕💕
Sending you and your family all the love in the world
💙
Oh Alex I am so sorry for you and your family’s loss, so utterly devastating for you all. Grief is so physical aswell as emotional and mental, I lost my mum in 2006. She had always struggled with her mental health but she was badly suffering with COPD and it had run her so incredibly low she just couldn’t do it anymore. Talking about them keeps them here ❤️ and relevant in every part of your life. Photos and video can be so hard and testing on your emotions but part of grief therapy is watching and going through it all .....when you’re ready too, acknowledging those memories. I didn’t have any video or phone messages, I so wished I had. I do hope with time you feel stronger, feel the love and support that’s here for you and your cause is a fantastic worthy legacy for your brother🌟
💙
Thinking of you and all of your family. Such a heartbreaking and difficult time. Lots of love x
💙 Thank you
My friend took his own life Aug 4th, he would have been 28 today. The complexity of emotions after losing someone to suicide is so indescribable. I'm so sorry Alex, I'm so sorry! 😥❤
I'm sorry x
Sorry to hear that
I’m sorry for your loss Dr.Alex stay strong and god bless you❤️
I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine how devastating this must have been for you and your family. You really are someone to look up to especially for younger people. The way you handle everything and your outlook on life and honestly your family must be so proud of you. Xxx
💙
So very sorry for your loss
Mental health is soul destroying
It's such a such a powerful illness.
As a sufferer of mental health and severe
Anxiety myself my ❤ Genuinely goes out to
You and your family.
Sending prayers 🙏
💙
Alex ... thank you so much for this video ... if only I could hug you through the tv screen ... instead I send you virtual 🤗 hugs .. you've got this ... your brother would be very proud of you ... ... thank you for sharing xx
💙
I can't even imagine :( my little brother is my whole world. My favourite person. Sending you love and support ❤️ make sure to reach out if you need help yourself
Keep doing everything you do. You are incredible and help so many people. When i struggled with my mental health in my early teens I reached out and got help and today I went and got my university ID and I start my lectures on Monday to become an Operating department practitioner.
You motivated me to keep strong and to persue a career in the NHS.
You don't need to thank us as we all love you and want you to be okay and want your family to be given time to grieve and think of all the amazing memories you have with your amazing brother. Sending love always ❤❤
💙
I'm so sorry for your loss, sending you and your family love. You're so amazingly strong.
you are so strong alex and although you will always miss him he will always be with you by your side. your making him proud and keep going because you are so strong❤️
💙
I work in mental health & I think the toolkit is a great idea. I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my sister when she was 19 & it's heartbreaking. Sending you love & strength to cope, however that looks ❤
💙
I am sending so much love to you and your family. I can’t ever understand the unimaginable pain of losing someone to mental health. I have suffered myself with mental health and that toolkit you’re working on for schools and universities sounds like an amazing resource. My school (although over 5 years ago now) never spoke about mental health at all. I didn’t know what depression or anxiety actually was and I had no idea about different charities or resources that were available. If i had been aware of the sort of things out there like I do now it would’ve saved me years of pain.
Your positivity and mindset is a breath of fresh air.
💙
Hi Dr Alex,
I'm not sure if you have time
to see these messages, but my 15 year old sister Pippa sadly ran out in front of an oncoming train and took her own life it's the worst most heart wrenching experience I've ever had to go through .......there is nothing that can take away this feeling you are feeling now, but please take comfort in these words. Time is a healer, focus on yourself and family! Your brother WOULDN'T want you too feel to feel this way I promise you that......Remember there is no time limit on grief, just please focus on your own mental wellbeing and that way you will be able to help people around you be there best self. Sending you lots of love, positivity and you've got this!!🌻🌻🌻❤❤❤
Dear Alex, you will never get over it but you will always have the memories! Such an awful loss for you and your family. Sending you much love and hope you have a wonderful life, even with the devastating loss of your brother. Take care of yourself xxxxxx⚘
You're doing amazing Alex. I work in mental health and understand the system well. Keep your head up and know how appreciated you are xxx
💙
I could see and hear how difficult that was for you to talk about you did well take care xx
💙
I promise, promise, it gets better. You never forget, and the sadness is never completely gone, but the happy memories come through much stronger than the bad. Be sad when you need to be, it’s important. Sending so much love. You are amazing.
💙
I’m so sorry for your loss💔 The fact that you can use such a negative experience and turn it around and try and spread awareness of mental health is so inspiring and you should be so proud of yourself! Stay strong💜
💙
He's a beautiful boy, indeed! So sorry for your loss. Sending lots of love to you, Elliot and to your parents 💙
Gosh crying my eyes out for him :( want to give him a hug xxxx
I'm so sorry for your loss..PEACE AND BLESSINGS to you and your family 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
💙
My son is 16, he’s been suffering from anxiety and depression for over a year now after he suffered bullying in high school. He won’t go to therapy and in the current climate it’s difficult to get any support so I’m helping him myself with self help books I’ve read on anxiety in the past as I too have an anxiety disorder, He’s decided against college because of the children he wants to avoid now he’s finished high school, so we’re supporting his decision and keeping him positive. Once covid is over he said he wants to get an apprenticeship, and I really do hope he achieves that. He’s lost all his friends as they turned to drugs and turned on my son for not wanting to do them. He’s made friends online gaming during covid and he’s so much happier but he’s still not going out much. He will take a morning walk now and again. I’m trying not to push him and just go at his pace.
Sending you my love Alex. I’m so sorry for your loss xxx
I kinda believe I relate to that I myself finished school but just over a year ago I suffered with mental health for about 5 years and my friends took their own path I also after leaving school wanted to avoid those I went to school with I have done an apprenticeship for the past year and I have felt happier I still had the pain and its never gone away but I felt better!
Keep loving him, small steps, sending love and strength for you both xx
ERC !! I’m glad things are improving for you. Stay strong x
Rachel Kingsley Thank you so much xxx
Anxiety and depression was rife when I was at school
As someone who deals with people going through mental health issues in workplace it's great to see you discuss the issues which are close to you.
I don't know if you know people are still using false accounts with your name pretending to be you too
💙
I can see your deep pain and yet you’re still trying to help others 💙 sending love to you and your family xxxx
Keep your head high pal ive been suffering with mental health and im currently having counselling and they are helping me but keep your head high pal 💙
💙
Sending you and your family so much love ❤️ thank you for being so open, crazy to think how many lives you save every day not just at a&e but through spreading awareness and encouragement on social media. You're an inspiration.
💙
Sending you so much love Alex.
It is the worst thing loosing a precious family member or anyone.
I went through a terrible time I lost my brother my mum my sister then my nephew in a year.
At the time I was in a major major black hole and dint think I would ever come out again I couldn’t function.
But with help from my dear husband and other family members I am finally getting out there again.
You never get over it but you learn to live your life in a different way.
God bless you darling brother may he rest in peace and god bless you Alex please look after yourself believe me with time it will get a bit easier.
Sending so much love xxxx
💙
God bless you, Alex. So sorry for your loss. Stay strong, thinking of you. ❤
Thank you 💙
So sorry for u and ur families loss. I have lost friends also to Mental Health and I myself am a Mental Health sufferer. Thank u for telling us ur story and experience as it isn't talked about enough 😢
💙
You are a remarkable person. Even though you are suffering with such an immense tragedy you are still trying to help other people.The way you are coping with such a tragic loss is really inspiring and encouraging for others going through something similar. Keep going ❤️
I was born with congenital heart disease and pulmonary hypertension. You doctors do an amazing job! 💙
💙
Sending so much love ❤️
It's about time there is change in this world. Mental health is not discussed enough in school, college and life beyond. People are not being educated and as a result the people suffering can often feel like they don't know where to turn. My mental health started in college and there was no support or understanding at this time. This needs to be a priority in this day and age... We need to get this to parliament there needs to be some sort of movement to get this taught in school. I will do anything I can to help with this topic.
💙
Thinking of you and your family Alex.
You’ve shown the world that mental health is a huge issue and should be treated in the same way as any physical health issue.
I suffered from depression earlier this year and thankfully have come out the other side now but found there was still such a stigma surrounding my illness which is so wrong.
💙
My daughter struggles with her mental health, what you are doing is amazing in such a difficult time for you. Sending love and prayers ❤️💙 🤗
💙
I was absolutely devastated when I heard the news. You have been such a beacon of light for myself (and others) during this pandemic and are an inspiration to many.
💙
When my father died my lige divided into two sections, myself before his death and myself after, and my past self died along with him. It's been a decade and I am in a better place but it will forever be a struggle to work with.
It’s a life skill no body thinks they will need until they do.
Having knowledge on how to cope when life doesn’t go your way is imperative and will save lives.
I totally support your cause and i’m sorry for your loss Alex. xx
💙
I’m sorry for your loss ❤️
Maybe as a podcast episode or something you could speak more about Llyr and his life. Maybe about what he was like and what he enjoyed. His friends, school, hobbies. And on maybe what it’s been like for you and your family following his death and what those first few days/weeks were like. Of course this is personal to your family so no pressure. Yet so often we here these declarations about ‘focus on mental health’ which is good, but very rarely hear about how it can truly affect anyone even if you can’t see it, and what life is like for those around you if something tragic happens.
The TH-cam ‘camandfam’ did a very very eye opening video discussing her husbands suicide recently. Very eye opening but I’m sure helpful to those going through it or dealing with troubling thoughts.
💙
Alex, you are a very brave young man. You have a wonderfully kind soul. Channeling your grief into such a positive thing would make your brother so very proud. My son has ADHD/ASD and struggles quite badly with his mental health. I think it’s imperative that schools can confidently educate our children in mental health and well-being as it is unfortunately sadly lacking. It’s about time the education system became less of a ‘one size fits all’ institution and embrace individual talents, rather than figures and failures. Sending my full support and best wishes to you xx
💙
Sorry about your brother my friend. Tragic. Love from a fellow NHS worker.❤️
💙
So sorry for your loss Alex, such a fantastic thing to do to carry on your passion of mental health awareness and the tool kit sounds brilliant, I'm sure your brother is smiling down on you and very proud. Take care, love and thoughts are with you and your family xxx
💙
So sorry for your loss Alex, I know how you feel, I’m 30 and lost my Dad (best friend) in May last year through sepsis and complications after an artificial heart valve replacement, never a day goes by where I don’t think of him and the mental drain and stress it has put on myself is hard but keep fighting 👍 our loved ones will always be in our hearts 💕. Take care
💙
Thank you for making this video Alex. It is so important to talk about mental health and the impact it can have. My brother took his life in May of this year after a very long struggle with anxiety and depression which had gone on for over 20 years. I take comfort from the fact that he is n longer struggling and is at peace. But there are lessons to be learned: Services are often poorly resourced, forcing professionals to make incredibly hard decision about who does or, more importantly, who doesn't receive support; individuals can all too easily attract labels which ultimately become obstacles to care and support; it can feel like a real battle to try to get people the support that they need and the whole business of 'navigating' the mental health 'system' can be a nightmare, particularly if the individual has no family or where they do, the family does not have the confidence or ability to push for services to respond. At times these difficulties call into question the values of the professionals involved, as far too many people are left with little or no support. I'm hoping that Serious Incident Reviews and an Inquest will help services to learn those lessons and not simply become platitudes. I wish you well in dealing with your own circumstances. I wish you well also with the introduction of your 'tool kit'. Thank you again for putting this out.
💙
Mental Health is so important. The problem is that it’s silent. Much love to you and your family ❤️💔
💙
Your strength and courage is unbelievable, I admire you for sharing your story to raise awareness of mental health, you have helped so many already just with your personal experience. Sending all the best wishes have light, love and happiness x
💙
