I'm at my lowest. I've lost everything, my job , my family, friends, I'm homeless and now I've lost my boyfriend.

I don't know where I'm staying tonight. I've no money and no income to hold out for. Not even just that situation my mental health has ruined my life. Doctors suspect I have borderline personality disorder.

I can't handle anything anymore I have nothing left and even if I did my mental health I can't escape from. I just don't want to be here

Keep breathing. Just.

People will post who will know where to look for accommodation.
Do you have mental health workers you can contact? Now would be a good time.

Did not want to read and run but I am sure someone else will come on with some better advice than me. You can do this. One step at a time. Can you get to your gp? They could help to refer you to the local authority for emergency housing. This is a great community to talk to people who have a wealth of experience of helping. Keep talking. Keep going xx

To be honest the homeless thing isn't even top of my list on my worries. It's been a build up before this. I'll feel like shit no matter where I'm sleeping.

You need to get to your nearest walk in centre right now and tell them everything, tell them how desperate things are. They will help.

Medication can help stabilise your mental health and make you feel normal and settled and you can build from there.

Don't be scared of letting them admit you to hospital on a mental health ward if they need to, they are there to help you, it's really not the same anymore as the first thoughts that jump to mind when people say mental hospital.

Didn't want to read and run, I'm sorry you're feeling like this. If you go to your local council / local authority and present yourself as homeless they will support you and place you into temporary accommodation. They will also be able to get you a welfare rights officer to support you with benefits. Are you linked in with the CMHT? If so pop in there for support with your MH. There's lots of organisations and support available you don't have to deal with this on your own Flowers

Go to your local housing authority and present as homeless, they have a duty to provide you with temporary accommodation. It might be a b & b for a few days but it's something. Then go to your GP or walk in centre and tell them how bad you are feeling. Medication and referrals will help you.
If you can ask for help on here you can do those 2 things. Small steps and you will get better Flowers

You can't get medications from walk ins can you? Impossible to see GP today or for two weeks

Yes. Walk in centre definitely should refer you immediately to usually the hospital mental health centre on the same day, depends where you are, there could be a specialised hospital nearby.
You will chat about medicines with them and after coming to an agreement then they should start you on a course extremely quickly.
Make sure you tell them that you are feeling suicidal though. They can only help if you are honest.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way. Flowers

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.
