Another one here for you, OP. Do you feel up to telling us a bit more about you, what you normally like doing when you're feeling low? xx

MissCruellaDeVil · 06/06/2021 00:14

Are you still there OP?

Smokeahontas · 06/06/2021 00:16

Hello OP. I know you’re waiting on the Sams, but have you tried texting Shout on 85258? It could be a good alternative.

How are you this morning op
Could you stay with your dad for a while

colouringindoors · 06/06/2021 14:15

i can't stay with my dad, he's f/t carer for my mum and I'd worry him.

Told a friend I'd ended up calling Samaritans last night. They just said "oh they're great, it's good to talk". Told my sil I had been having suicidal thoughts last sunday. She was sympathetic at the time but nothing else. I get that people are bored of me and my troubles. So am I. Feel so alone.

Am slightly less devastated than last night in that am not ugly loud crying. But still feel so dreadful I just don't know how I can keep going. Have been having suicidal thoughts for over 6 weeks, pretty much everyday, many times a day. Am seeing therapist who's been encouraging me to reach out to people and that this Will pass. But it's not.

Your dad would be far more upset that you'd kept this from him, than you telling him the truth, trust me. I'm a mum to 3 DC, and I'd be beyond devastated if they felt they couldn't talk to me.

Open up. You need support. Stop hiding it, and ask for help. We all need it at times, there's nothing wrong with you and it's not your fault.

Have courage Flowers and keep talking here.

Nuggetnugget · 06/06/2021 16:51

You have to let your dad know ❤️

colouringindoors · 07/06/2021 17:07

Told a friend.
My siblings know I'm not good.
My therapist this pm suggested I speak to GP about increasing my Sertraline.

My partner has used samaritans when he felt like you and they saved his life. He was in a terrible place. For lots of reasons things have got much better. I hope they get better for you too.

colouringindoors · 07/06/2021 18:59

I'm really glad he's doing better Thehouseofmarvels

I'm sat in the garden in hazy sunshine, a thing that would usually fill me with contentment and I still wish I was dead.

randomkey123 · 07/06/2021 21:18

I'm really glad you've talked to your friend and siblings.

That's a positive step.

You won't feel better overnight, it's a long old road but the light will shine again for you.
