Meghan Markle opens up on suicidal thoughts to CBS and sufferers ‘not being believed’

Meghan Markle has opened up on her suicidal thoughts in a new interview, saying she “would never want someone else to not be believed.”The Sussexes spoke to CBS Sunday Morning’s host Jane Pauley in their first joint interview in three years, which focused on the dangers of online bullyingPrince Harry said parents have to be the “first responders” and added that it is “terrifying” that many parents are unsure of the telltale signs of “possible suicide.”So, the couple launched their new site today, Parents Network. It is a place for parents to go to for help if they think their child is being bullied online.

Meghan revealed why the project is special to her, recalling her own struggles as a member of the Royal Family.

“When you’ve been through any level of pain or trauma, I believe part of our healing journey, certainly mine, is to be able to be really open about,” she said.

“I haven’t really scraped the surface of my experience but I do think that I would never want someone else to feel that way. And I would never want someone else to be making those sorts of plans and I would never want someone else not to be believed.

“So, if me voicing what I have overcome will save someone, or encourages someone in their life to really genuinely check in one them, and not assume that the apearance is good and so everything is okay, then that’s worth it. I’ll take a hit for that.”
