I was at my lowest ebb last night and I reached out, posting my thoughts and my intentions (suicidal). The responses all pointed me to talk to the Samaritans, which I did. I needed to express my thoughts and my intentions and I needed a reaction - positive - which I received. So I just wanted to create this thread to say thank you.

I'm in a dark place at the moment but it isn't as dark as it was last night. I'm going to work through this.

Flowers didn't want to read and run. I didn't see the thread last night but I'm glad you posted and glad Mners were here for you

Hope Samaritans were helpful. I don't have much advice I'm afraid but just wanted to say to always come back here if you need us. Glad things are feeling a bit better. Take care Flowers

And I'm so pleased to see you say you're going to work through it.

You are never ever alone, love.

Not familiar with you ripples, and don't know your story, but I am glad to hear you're OK. (ISH!) Smile

This is so nice to read Flowers

DJBaggySmalls · 13/03/2017 19:59

I'm so glad you posted this, and that you are still here.

I was there a few years ago. I'm plodding out of it with meds and therapy. I know I'm not the only one here either. Flowers

I can't tell you what a relief it is to see this post, you have been on my mind all day.
I am also incredibly pleased you reached out to the samaritans and can now see a glimmer of light.
Things won't change overnight but they will get better in time as long as you give them that time.
Thank you for coming back.

Phew! I was worried.

It's hard ripples101, but it's never completely hopeless.

It really helped. Im glad I posted my threat last night. And I did see the replies before my thread was (understandably and rightfully) deleted. The responses to my thread had me in tears, but in a positive way. It made me feel that I'm not alone and all replies told me to phone the samaritans which I did.

Again, thank you all. You're all helping me through this and I am and will be forever grateful

I didn't see your original thread Ripples but saw another thread about your original one Flowers

harderandharder2breathe · 13/03/2017 20:13

I missed your original thread but I'm glad you found support on here and then with the Samaritans. Flowers

Aw delighted to see your post ripples.
Keep posting, we get a lot of bad press but when the chips are down, we are a good ol' bunch.

MN bouyed me up through a hard time in my life and I've seen it countless times with others too.

Keep posting, one day you'll read it back and be amazed at how far you have got. 😀

So glad to see this, I've been thinking about you a lot today. Very glad you sought the help you need and are feeling more positive about the future today. Flowers

Glad to hear you got through it. Hope tomorrow keeps getting a bit brighter xx

Tiredbutfuckingfine · 13/03/2017 20:33

Hooray you're posting, and not just a dot (or a dog Blush)
I'm glad you reached out and found it helpful. I'm sure things are not easy, but I hope they are a bit easier. Have paid off just past half a similar amount of debt myself, it's a long old slog.

bignamechangeroonie · 13/03/2017 20:37

Really glad to hear this, do whatever it takes to get well enough to want to live Flowers

I'm delighted ripples! There is no problem you can't fix! Phone the bank, set up a payment plan... you will look back on this and be glad at your decision! I'm glad! You've made me happy!
