The past few days have been hard. A friend of mine who I met on island has been going through a bad time and yesterday decided to try and take his own life.
I knew something was not right Thursday when I could not get hold of him and by Friday I was looking for him and no one had seen him at all… Prompting me to start and contact people and drive round looking for him. The Police were not very useful and said that he is an adult and if he wants to turn his phone off and not be contacted then that’s up to him.
After losing my temper at the Police and threatening them with the press they decided to wake up and locate him – he had done something silly so I spent Friday evening in hospital.
I am now trying my best to support him and get him back on track. Just goes to show though that there is a fine line between being OK and not.
