Suicidal thoughts

[PepsiBubbles]

I have suicidal thoughts pretty much every day it's just normal for me now. But today I feel really bad, I just want some peace, it's so tempting just to swallow a load of pills or cut my wrists. I just don't want to be here anymore. Truthfully I get the urge to hurt myself a couple of times a week and I feel so bad right now, I just want to cry and there's nobody to talk to.

Please tell me this is going to go away soon.

If you think that suicidal thoughts can be equated with simply 'feeling sad' then you are very naive and also very lucky never to have experienced such despair or agitation. A cup of tea isn't known as a way of preventing suicide, whereas medical intervention is. Anyway, I've reported your post and hope to God that the OP doesn't see it.

Sure, whatever...

Yeah, I should have stayed at home where I most likely would have done something stupid and hurt myself. Then I would have ended up in A&E anyways only then there would be both mental andphysical injuries to deal with .

You're forgetting that this was the third day I'd felt like this. That was all day Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday where I just constantly felt like I had to hurt myself in some way. I literally spent all Tuesday afternoon thinking of new ways to hurt myself.

The NHS actually recommend that if you have serious thoughts of actually hurting yourself you should go to A&E, here that's why they have psychiatric nurses and doctors there on a 24 hour basis. Why would they have them there if you weren't supposed to go there? The doctor even said I'd done the right thing by coming in because if I hadn't I probably would have stayed at home and actually hurt myself. I didn't even know you should go to A&E for this until the last couple of days but apparently it's recommended. If you didn't know that you could have just asked nicely.

I would say someone who is seriously going to hurt them self is classed as an emergency.

Well I was feeling better today, but now I don't know what to feel.

Pepsi. Ignore notsureifyouareserious. Mumsnet are going to look into him or her.

notsure - can't you bugger off and be vindictive and spiteful elsewhere ?

Pepsi - do you have regular contact with local mental health services? Sometimes the crisis team can be a lot better than your GP. Do you have any diagnosis? Sending you and . Take each day minute by minute if you have to and just get through each moment.

Pepsi I hope you are feeling better today. You did the right thing by going to a&e. Sadly some people are ignorant idiots and still have no idea about mental healh issuesand what the guidelines are. Someone who is at rrisk of suicide iis just as much of an emergency as someone with an injury or acute illness.

Some people are also the t word. And are definitely to be ignored. They dont even mean what they say.

hello !!!!!!
Anger is a unpleasantly strong feeling of displeasure aroused by grievance that is either real or imagined to be real by the person often accompanied by a desire of vengeance. - See more at: www.themedguru.com/20111011/feature/5-tips-control-anger-86145953.html#sthash.zT1ybYE4.dpuf

not really the right thread surrender

Speaking as someone who has just lost her sister to suicide, please do whatever you need to do to get help and support. You are not a drain, and you have just as much right to help as anybody else.

And ignore the vile comments on here from somebody who is totally oblivious and ignorant to mental health issues.

Are you all right PepsiBubbles?

So sorry to read about your sister lastnight

Thanks LEM. It's been awful, I just hope the OP is ok.

so sorry you are feeling like this. My DD is coming soon after 6 weeeks as an inpatient for feelings that you are describing. I really struggle to know how to talk to her. She feels huge guilt at her perceived "weakness" as she feels she should be able to manage these feelings. She also feels guilt about what she is putting the family through, and also, that she always loved life, with a great job/partner/social life, so feels guilt about why she feels like this, when so many people have worse lives, and are fine.
How can i talk to her without adding to her guilt. Some factual things need to be discussed, like paying her mortgage, work, how we can keep her safe, but i worry that if i talk about these things, it will add to her feelings of guilt, as she may feel she is a burden as we are having to support her financially. How do you feel you can be best supported by your close people, is factual discussions ok, can we express our fears or concerns. I would really value some thoughts from people experiencing this terrifying situation. OP i sincerely hope you start to feel more your usual self soon.

I have battled on and off with mood disorder for years. Gave up drinking which helped me see my condition more clearly. It comes in all shapes and sizes and as one off episodes or periods for some people. Medication does not work for some and talking is better. Nhs can and will help, but you must throw away any thoughts that you are wasting people's time, and do not undervalue how you feel. If it hurts, then it hurts. You do not have to actually be killing yourself to merit help. Even if you feel better now, you should see your GP. Get the help now so you are ready in case it comes back. When you are happy the depression can seem distant and ridiculous but that just shows how powerful it is - against all reason it can still get a grip on you. Talk to some experts. All the best.
