Why Did I Start "Not A Statistic NE"? My story isn't unique, It has become a story that everyone knows someone who experienced this. I spend my days terrified that I am not strong enough to continue my journey and my nights terrified that my nightmares will be come true. My life has become a cycle of terror both awake and asleep. I have done what has been prescribed and I am still terrified. This time of spend 3 days fighting to see a GP, Any GP to spend less than 8 minutes being told "you are a mental health Support Worker so you know what to do" Just so she could get me out of her office. In less than 8 minutes a complete stranger decided I can wait for help. THIS IS WHY I STARTED "Not A Statistic NE"! #yournotalone Meeting weekly at the Beacon of Light #Sunderland, Every Thursday 7-9pm. We provide a safe space, to give you time to talk. No Judgement. No exceptions. #hopetoseeyouthere #notastatisticnecic It's not about the start or the end, it's about the journey and the adventures along the way. MY JOURNEY IS NOT OVER! And neither is yours. #myjourneyisnotover Shane Founder/Managing Director Not A Statistic Northeast CIC

Remember to see a rainbow, it needs to rain first and it's always gunna rain at some point. Breathing might not stop the rain but, it helps whilst waiting for it to stop raining. #chasingrainbows #notastatisticnecic #yournotalone #yourworthmorealive #Sunderland

So this week has been a hard one, but I've always been really open about my mental health and; about my suicidal thoughts specifically, including the fact they are fleeting and they pass quickly. That's not what happened this week, my thoughts took hold and I didn't reach out for help. I avoided my usual support network and cut myself off from everything. Luckily the thoughts have passed for the most part and I'm working my way back to being on top. In reflection, what I should of done is reach out and talk about it. Talking about being suicidal doesn't make you more suicidal. What I did do right though, is remember that statistically when you commit suicide that one act; will effect 132 people on average. The people who find you, first responders, doctors, nurses, support workers, admin staff, coroner's, mortician and I've not even started with friends, family, children.... the list does go on, but hopefully you get the picture. Just like I did. Much love Shane ❤️ If you ever feel like I did reach out, your not alone. Groups like ours offer spaces to be able to talk openly about what you need to. I've attached the groups at the beacon of Light poster to this post as well. #yourworthmorealive #NotAStatisticNECIC #itsokaytotalk #AndysManClubSunderland #talkinghelps #SpaceNorthEast

What a day! Had the privilege of spending an afternoon at Sunderland and County Durham Society for the Blind talking about Not A Statistic NorthEast CIC and, then had the opportunity talk at a Foundation of Light (SAFC) Game of Two Halves Ambassadors workshop this evening. Overall some fantastic mental health conversations. Absolutely love lifting the stigma around mental health and meeting likeminded people. If you are a local business or know of a local business that would be open to us coming and talking about are group and lifting the stigma, please reach out. #yournotalone #NotAStatisticNECIC #yourworthmorealive
