MUMSNET literally saved my life this week

Just to say a heartfelt thank you to MN users.

This week has been the hardest of my life.
I tried to kill myself and was stopped by my DP, i had plans to do it again the following night.

Everything was ready but for some reason I posted on here and the response I got was amazing,
and I was literally talked down from ending my life.

And all this week posters have been so supportive towards me.

So thank you MN so much Thanks Wine Brew Thanks Wine Brew Thanks

Although it was you who asked for help and you who dug deep and found strength. You're pretty amazing. Thank you for being here. Thanks

I missed your first thread, but I'm so glad you found the support you needed. Mumsnet is amazing for that, never underestimate the kindness of strangers Smile I hope things continue to improve for you

I too have been reading your threads Pepsi and I'm so happy you're feeling better. You sound like a strong woman with a loving partner and you have so much to live for, though it might not always feel like it. I don't know you but I'm really proud of you. Be good to yourself lovely xx

I too read your thread the other night Pepsi but didn't butt in as there were some amazing mners supporting you and I didn't feel I would add anything but was putting out some serious positive vibrations. I too have thought about you a few times in the last day or so and am so so so pleased you've come back to give us an update. I have found mn a hugely supportive force am super grateful as in real life I don't have a proper circle of friends. All the best Pepsi xxx

Remember that for every active poster there are many lurkers, reading, willing you on but not able to find the right words. Flowers

So pleased for you Pepsi Flowers you know were always here Smile

Beavie · 31/08/2014 00:29

Glad to hear you are feeling better about things...mumsnet can indeed be an amazing place. A few years ago (under a different username) I was in a terrible situation far away from anyone to support me, and mumsnet literally got me through it and out of the situation I was in. I even met up with one very kind mumsnetter in real life, who was a great support. All the best.

butterfliesinmytummy · 31/08/2014 00:40

Saw your thread, such wonderful news. And mumsnet is 24/7, there always someone here Thanks

Katkins1 · 31/08/2014 00:43

So glad Pepsi. You can always pop over to the village thread on the mental health boards. You are more than welcome. It's a thread where we all post our ups and downs, daily.

Twunk · 31/08/2014 00:51

I read your thread after the event. I'm so delighted to read this. xxxx

Thumbwitch · 31/08/2014 10:42

Only posted briefly on your other thread but I'm so pleased to see that you have "turned the corner" and that MN was able to help with that.

Well done you for finding the way forward xx Thanks

Marylou62 · 31/08/2014 11:15

I am sorry I didn't open your thread when I first saw it Pepsi....I was in a bad place too and don't like to just read and run....but days later I did read it and A...I felt sick that I hadn't offered any help...so sorry...
and B...amazed at all the MNetters who helped you through this awful time....
I have posted a bit on MN about myself and have been reassured that people really do care....Good Luck with the future Pepsi...x

Bakeoffcakes · 31/08/2014 11:54

I read your thread but didn't feel qualified to help. I was amazed at the wonderful support you had and I'm so so glad they were able to help you.

Love and best wishes for the future. Mumsnet is always here for youThanksx
