Coping strategies for suicidal thoughts

Long term mental health issues and its been a bad few days. Suicidal thoughts are getting bad and I feel like I have nobody to turn to. I don't want to call crisis as I feel unable to speak.

I just wondered if anyone has any good ways to try and get through this, ways to cope. My energy levels are really low, I'm home alone, all I have managed today is to make cups of tea.

Hi DaisyCookie, we're really sorry to hear you're feeling so low.

We just wanted to post a link to our Mental Health webguide - which lists a number of organisations which can offer you support. Here too is a link to the Samaritans website, or you can email them on [email protected].

Our webguide also contains links to other forums, including the Mental Health Forum where people who are going through similar experiences can talk and support each other, as well as discussing recovery, housing, money, friendships and relationships.

Mind and the Depression Alliance also host an online community, Friends in Need - for people to talk openly about depression and wellbeing and create online and offline groups with people who share interests and hobbies near them.

We hope that some of these links will be able to provide the additional support you need right now. Support from 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 real life help and support as well.

We really hope you're okay. Flowers
