I know someone who knew him personally around the time of his supposed 1st attempt. At the time, his story made no sense to her as the facts didn't add with what she knew. As time went on & she understood more the type of person he actually is, she thinks it was all lies anyway. So I really don't give much weight to 3 attempts.
I'm going to be really harsh and further some other implied comments.
Whilst there remains multiple antecedents to suicidality they do follow some patterns on the whole.
Theres a difference between being suicidal and attempting to take ones life.
This is often a process by which people lose hope and enjoyment in life, a perceived lack of purpose, existentialism that gradually (at differing speeds) grinds people down. MH services, Lifeline, Kooth, Samaritans all exist.
Unless this is reactionary to a specific event. Which remains rarer than one might think. In those without PD. Most people don't threaten suicide at the end of a relationship.
In people with PDs the prevelance of "attempts" is very high. Very high. When this is tracked back its often preceded by a lack of control (over a situation or others), extreme emotional dysregulation or simply attention seeking/eliciting care despite the problems caused BY them.
Further, most people know how to off themselves. One of the best (but highly emotive) questions to ask is why someone HASNT off'd themselves. We all know what a train or motorway bridge can do for eg (this is an illustrative example).
This man has a personality disorder. Its not this plus this. Its just that. As complicated and as simple as that is, it manifests in all these ways. It accounts for almost everything including his drug use.
He has 3 attempts? Firstly, ill bet my shed theres a context. Do these always centre around failed businesses and relationships? Does this information only come out when hes challenged by authority? Suddenly hes Caroline Flack? Hes not saying he is but hes just saying.
All appeals to emotion and empathy. Steve R once said, you could cure cancer (DW) and theyd still find fault. Steve, he could strangle a kid and you'd say he was helping their diet. Or they weren't nice to him and he was just helping! The bias is huge. If you dont see the issue with the post about trauma (PS hes no idea what this is) then you're truly lost to the cult.
Every "attempt" will be him crying in AED to get synpathy from the very people hes damaged. To make the criticism go away. Any way to not be accountable. To externalise everything negative around him. If someone qualified in MH told him hes wrong, they'd get attacked that they should know better; why are they attacking people online surely they know about Flack.
All - dont challenge me. Let me challenge everyone else.
his background seems to change depending on who he is talking to and trying to one up.
his verison of events of the 'Paul Hollywood question' just shows that even when there is video evidence he is happy to rewrite history. He's a delusional liar and he is not interested in reflecting on his behaviour.
Thank god we have our leader to show us the way of proper nutrition.
Wtf
