Category: Mental Health Suicide Awareness

Date: 31 May 2019

Kelly Catlin, a very talented US Cyclist killed herself earlier this year. Because she was attending Stanford, being an Olympic Medalist, and much more, Kelly was under a lot of stress. Because of her work ethic to not fail and always win, she was always overwhelmed. This caused her to become depressed and in January, she tried to commit suicide. A few months went by until she tried again but this time, unfortunately she succeeded. Kelly had too much to handle and instead of taking a break to figure things out, she pushed herself too hard. It's okay to take breaks to relax. Maybe if Kelly took the time to get help instead of pushing herself to do more, then things would've been different.
