Raines created a successful YouTube channel dedicated to her advocacy efforts rescuing foxes from fur farms.
Animal rescue activist and YouTube star Mikayla Raines has died by suicide, according to her husband. She was 29.
Ethan Raines announced her death in an emotional video he posted to her YouTube channel on Monday.
He said that for years his wife suffered from various mental health issues and struggled to cope with online criticism.
“She couldn’t bear what she was feeling any longer, and she ended her life,” he said. “And it breaks my heart that someone who is selfless and devoted her life to animals could have so much negativity pointed at her.”
That’s the thing. You (and I) don’t know she wasn’t seeing a psychiatrist and/or mental health professional.
You can seek help and want to live while still losing the fight against suicidal ideation.
This is the correct comment.
Therapy doesn’t solve suicide.
If it did, no one would kill themselves.
There’s a huge difference between “always” and “never”, and a huge variation in severity, duration, and underlying reasons for suicidal ideation and intent.
ok
Those of us that watched [trigger warning] her partner’s video about it know that she was.
That’s what I would have expected/assumed. I haven’t had the time to review any of this in detail, so I’m not speaking from an informed position. Thus I generally keep my assumptions to myself.
Good to know.
