I wrote that I was in crisis the other day. I am now feeling heavily suicidal and am thinking about ending my life. I have a one year old. I don’t know what to do. Please help

Call 999.

Is there anyone, even a neighbour, nearby that could sit with you?

I'm sorry that you are suffering, you need to speak to a crisis team.

Hi

Hope you are ok.

Do you have anyone that you are close to who you can talk to?

Please reach out to someone, samaritans or 999. You and your little one are not alone.

Tell your partner.

Wake them up if they are asleep even if they have work or whatever other reason. This is more important.

Of course your little one would know.
Can you talk to your partner now or call a friend? You might think they won’t want to hear it but honestly they will

I'm sorry things are feeling desperate for you right now. If you can get yourself to your local A&E they will do a mental health assessment. If you can't get there, please call 999 x

Yes. If you feel like this nothing else matters more. People love you and you don't have to feel like this alone: please call 116123 now OP. They will help you.

I've sat with a friend before and we just took it in very small steps. This next breath. In. Out. Talk. Hold hands. Cry. Breathe.

Do you have any soothing techniques? Curling up under a quilt, being held tightly, that sort of thing. Does music or TV help to focus you away from your thoughts?

OhNoNoNoNoNo · 03/08/2021 00:18

Please call 999. They will come and help you. You need professional help. They won’t judge you. They will get you the help you need.
I really really hope you feel better soon.

Have you reached out for help before op? I know the Samaritans helpline is useless sometimes so I won’t advise you to phone those. You need to talk to us. What’s happened to you? What’s causing these thoughts?

It’s my only way out. My mum tells me I need to ‘sort my shit out’, my MIL tells me I’m not a natural with my baby. They tell me if I tell anyone about my mental health my baby will be taken away from me or go solely to my partner. He’s more of a caregiver as he doesn’t work and I do

Your title asked us for help which means to me you want actually want help, so you don’t need to go anywhere.
What can we do to help?
