GEORDIE Shore’s Tahlia Chung was accidentally declared a ‘missing person’ after being rushed to hospital.
The MTV star, 26, was taken to hospital by ambulance after concerns for her mental health.
After being seen by experts she was taken to A&E in a wheelchair at 4am.
Tahlia claims she was asleep when staff called her name at 10am – leaving them to assume she was “missing”.
“They took me off the system and called my family saying I had gone missing, calling the police,” Tahlia claimed in a statement on Instagram.
“I’m overwhelming sad every day, feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness… I had no idea I was classed as missing.”
Tahlia says she “hit rock bottom” following the ordeal, telling fans: “I am sorry I put everyone through mental and emotional stresses.
“I never intended that, I know people would have thought so many different things, bad and extreme things, and felt helpless without knowledge or being able to do anything.
“Everyone has done more than they can imagine by looking out for me, being there for me, showing me I have more help than I thought and more love than I thought.
“I thank everyone and I have seen all messages and contact and will speak soon.”
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.
