Mental health - how would you react?

What would you think if a close family member who always seemed totally mentally healthy, happy, young family, good job, stable life and everything, told you they thought they were depressed and had been thinking about ending things? Wouldn't it seem a bit out of nowhere? Maybe like it can't really be that serious?

Hi astrocroc,

We're not sure if it's you that's feeling this way or if it's someone close to you, but we just wanted to add some links to the help that's available.

If you're feeling very low and need to talk to someone, please contact the Samaritans by calling 116 123, or by emailing [email protected]. You can also ask for help by texting 'SHOUT' to 85258 - Shout's trained volunteers will be able to give you some support - giveusashout.org.

There are many other organisations listed in our Mental Health webguide which can give some support.

We're going to move your thread over to our Mental Health topic now - we can see that there's been some good advice and support from other Mumsnetters already, but we feel that's a more sensitive place for it than AIBU.

Sending good wishes, OP Flowers
