Randy Goodchild, Stand Up For Mental Health Comic

[ash3227]

try making jokes about suicide when one of your family members killed themselves. Disgusting.

@ash3227 I am sorry for your' loss & not replying sooner. I perform my material to raise awareness about the pitfalls of mental illness. Specifically depresssion and related affects it can have on the one afflicted and those affected by their condition. The contemplation of taking my own life was very real for me. Sorry you find this disgusting but I can't tell you how many people have told me that my act made them feel comfortable to seek help. Stigma can cause death. That's "disgusting". Peace

@ratmq I am actually a public advocate for mental health awareness and am on several committees at my university. I agree with what you are trying to do as I try to do the same as well but I think that joking about suicide is taking it one step too far. I myself have been in inpatient twice and it is the most horrible experience anyone can imagine.
