My Mental Health Reached Breaking Point and I Almost Never Saw Christmas 2018 Top Story - January 2019
Mentally and physically, it was a rough night. From forty mile an hour winds to high waves, this night changed my life in two ways. My life could have ended, but instead made me realise I’m not alone. I stood on the edge of the pier watching the huge waves slam into the sea walls. The rain started to fall as I contemplated taking my own life. Me, a twenty one-year-old deciding whether or not to take my own life? That’s not right. Three out of four suicides (75 percent) are by men, which is the biggest cause of death for men under the age of thirty-five. I gazed off into the distance, squinting my eyes trying to picture the Isle of Wight out in the far distance, but that wasn’t working. The fog was getting thicker, making the scene more impactful and almost like a dream.

It Was the Fans That Let 'Doctor Who' Series 11 Down, Not Jodie Whittaker or Chris Chibnall
Peter Capaldi's swansong series Doctor Who (Series 10) went down a storm with fans. Not only were we treated to a new TARDIS Team, as Bill (Pearl Mackie) and Nardole (Matt Lucas) joined the Twelfth Doctor, but we were treated to favourite villains for Capaldi's final series. Not only did the Ice Warriors return, but so did Missy (Michelle Gomez) and John Simm's Master for the finale. However, as always, the Doctor regenerates and passes the TARDIS key to their next face, which is now Jodie Whittaker.

Three Writers to Get ‘Doctor Who’ Back on Track Following Chibnall’s Era
Series 11 of Doctor Who is nearly over and fans have started to admit they’re missing the former showrunner, Steven Moffat, who stepped down and bowed out of the show nearly a year ago. But why?
