I hope she is ok, and finds the help she needs to get herself into a better state of mind.


As someone who recently lost a family member to suicide, I would give anything to have had the chance to offer help after a failed attempt. I hope she has the support of family and friends to help her, and my thoughts are with all involved.

I think for someone to take an action as extreme as this is absolutely intent on ending their life and almost certainly would not have expected to survive. The degree of anguish this woman must be in to have done what she did is probably and thankfully beyond the understanding of most of us. I hope that she and her family get all the help they need. I also hope that the driver and witnesses get plenty of support and understanding.

Very good point only asked as my wife was on her way to work at that time and i hadn't hear from her. I had been in europe all week.

I would like to share information about the brilliant charity PAPYRUS - for the prevention of young suicide. They believe, as I do, that many young suicides are preventable.


Suicide is the biggest killer of young people (under 35years old) in the UK. And the statistics do not tell the whole story as many suicides are not recorded as such.


Please check out their website/ facebook page/ twitter etc and pass on the word......

PAPYRUS campaign, provide training and have a helpline. They intervene to prevent suicide - and are doing a fantastic job.

    • A reminder of how points are scored in the game. Apart from their website, Superbru has a couple of apps, one of which is specifically for rugby. Anyone wishing to join see previous post. There must be some rugby fans in ED who haven't played before!
    • A free community event is good, isn't it?
    • This isn't supposed to be a public car park for shoppers though. Surely it's intended for patients who aren't able to get there easily on foot or by public transport? It isn't just the GP practice  there.There are various  clinics, and the blood test place. Some people may be quite ill or have mobility issues. Suppose they can't get a parking space because people have parked there to go shopping? Please don't encourage this! 
    • There's nothing to stop you signing in then going shopping in Lordship Lane though as long as you don't overstay you won't get a fine.
