The comedian says 'it's vital we all understand that those feelings won't last forever'
Comedian Romesh Ranganathan has opened up about the moment that saw him consider talking his own life, saying it was one of the lowest points he's had. Romesh has spoken out on World Mental Health Day, October 10, as suicide prevention charity, Campaign Against Living Miserably , has named him patron.
"It's vital we all understand that those feelings won't last forever, so I'll be helping to make sure more people know about CALM's life-saving services and raising as much money as I can to support as many people as possible." Romesh added: "Despite cracking jokes for a living, I’ve had many low points in my life which have hammered home just how important help is when you’re struggling. I’m not sure where I’d be today if I didn’t get help when I hit rock bottom. In fact, I don’t know if I’d be here at all.
"Talking to someone about what’s really going on in your head is the hardest part - it’s a bit like eating broccoli, you don’t want to do that thing, but you’ll feel better as a result." "I realise now that it was nothing to be ashamed of. It’s one of the reasons why I want to become CALM Patron, because talking really does make a difference. It’s absurd that 18 people in the UK die because of suicide every day. I want to show that no matter how bad things feel, there’s always a reason to stay.
