Hi, I’m not sure if I’m best qualified to answer but I posted earlier re how depressed I was on the school run in the forum..I’ve been to the GP and while I’m still down I did feel more positive once I had spoken to someone. Mental Health is a massive problem and just know that you’re not the only one.. please speak to someone...sending hugs

Please speak to someone in rl try the Samaritans - we are here OP ready to listen

Please, please get some real life help. There are the Samaritans you can call and lots of forums that can help. I work with vulnerable people and one of them took an overdose last week. Fortunately it didn’t work, but he made himself very ill. Please get some support or keeping posting here if it helps. Thinking of you op.

Go to anyone you know in RL, sit and talk, cry or even shout (not at them) just to try and get it all out.

BlankSpace1 · 11/05/2018 17:51

I've overdosed before, I just want to get away.
I just came to pick up my medication and my doctors and have asked to see my doctor. I don't think they can do much but it's something

Well done for seeing the Dr! I know what it feels like, it’s like you’re in a deep hole, and your mind always goes to the worst possible outcome, just take it one step at a time, I know from experience it’s good to know that you’re not the only one, other people are going through it too..

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

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.

Please talk to someone. Xxxxx

Pinkgeorge · 11/05/2018 20:13

Did the doctor see you? Thinking about you Flowers

BlankSpace1 · 11/05/2018 20:26

I did see doctor. He spoke to me and took my meds away to give me less to minimise risk, I think he said crisis team will contact me later.
Things aren't any better being back home now tho, still struggling as in the same position as before

BeachyUmbrella · 11/05/2018 20:30

Have you got the number for the crisis team? Or could you call the Samaritans first?

I'm glad you saw your doctor and that you are home.

EightdaysaweekIloveu · 12/05/2018 09:42

Hi BlankSpace, how are you this morning? Did the crisis team get in touch. I hope you had someone to talk to.

I am Irish and our annual Darkness into Light walk was this morning, over 200,00 people walked 5k together at 4.15am this morning in the dark and it was light and bright when we finished the walk.

I thought of you throughout the walk, the motto is 'it's always darkest before the dawn' but it will get better. I hope you got help last night.

Thinking of you x

BlankSpace1 · 14/05/2018 19:57

Thank you for your kind words eightdays, that's really lovely of you.
Sadly crisis team didn't get in touch, I've been feeling better but I'm feeling down again now, it's just hard but I'm hoping it will pass soon x

Thank you everyone 🌺
