I've been thinking a lot about how to kill myself

I don't want to be alive. There is a way I could kill myself that could probably pass as an accident. I have a young daughter. I don't want her to ever know I killed myself deliberately. I know my death would hurt her terribly anyway, but I know suicide would bring so many other difficult feelings for her. She's only four so she wouldn't remember me. Hopefully her dad would eventually find someone else to love and maybe my daughter would come to think of her as Mummy. Not Mama. It breaks my heart when I think of her calling someone else Mama. I am her Mama. But I am broken and so weary. I don't want to exist like this. I'm seeing my counsellor in a short while. What will she do if I tell her I'm suicidal? I don't want to go to A&E. It won't help. They will just make me sit around for a few hours and then send me home.

I've heard it said that ending your own life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. We've all fucked up, I personally have made some devastating mistakes I never thought I would recover from and have felt that death was the only way out. But, with some distance those mistakes are memories and although I carry them they don't dominate me.

Give it one more go, even people you have hurt or who even hate you (though I doubt anyone truly does) wouldn't want you to end your life.

If you don't feel you can keep yourself safe please dial 999 or get yourself to A and E, www.nhs.uk/service-search/mental-health/find-an-urgent-mental-health-helpline or 111 can also direct you to your mental health single point of access.

Try and find a distraction or a reason to keep going for now.

Oh love, I feel your pain. @Stephiluu can anyone be with you in real life, even on the end of the phone? I’m happy to chat with you on here. 🌸

Dont leave your little girl, and remember that no one will ever love her like you do

Temporary is it? Don’t comment stupid things. Unhelpful and patronising.

@cha04

I was looking for others who have wanted to end their life. I want to die every single minute of every single day. So F off.

@cha04 if something were to change would it make your thoughts better? I'm not talking about ending it but something else?
