SeeYouSpaceCowboy’s Connie Sgarbossa has shared a new statement which finds her opening up about a recent suicide attempt. The singer decided to speak up to let those with mental illness know that they are not alone.
Sgarbossa said the following:
“This is an incredible personally thing but I want to use it to have this discussion about mental health. On Monday I tried to to take my own life, clearly it didn’t work and I am still but I want to talk about the stigma around mental illness and let people know that they arnt alone. I suffered from daily chronic su*cidal ideation and bi-polar. There isn’t always warning signs and people can be constantly in inner turmoil. I could be having the happiest day ever but my mind will still wander to those things. It’s a hard thing to talk about for fear of being perceived as crazy or having people worry about you and I get that that’s the clear response but this is sometimes just unfortunate reality.
Talking about this feels like an impossible task at times, but it is something that I and many people go through. You are no alone in this and tho an any exist seems like it could be the answer, it’s not, it’s not for the pain that it would cause to others, I know that pain so well after losing Natalie in the same way. If you share these feelings, it’s time to reach out for help, it’s time to not repeat the same mistakes I have made and many many others.”
