Suicidal thoughts

I can’t, because I have a younger sister with learning difficulties who needs me to be her parent, if I go she’ll have no-one she’s very close to and she’d never get over it .

But I’m having suicidal thoughts every day, and I’m totally utterly desperate. I’m swinging between horrendous panic attacks and dissociation - to feeling completely flat and suicidal. There’s no in between ground .

I know if I followed through with it what I’d do, and sometimes half write letters and then stop.

Spoke to a duty worker this morning who said I’m on a 10 month waiting list for support from their team and meantime just to call duty nurse or 111 for help. She said to go and watch a nice film and have a bubble bath with a cup of hot chocolate.

I’m so, so tired and don’t know what to do. I have got support around me but any support face to face I’m ‘just a job’ to them, can’t sort of call them and ask for help.

Part of me thinks if I do a ‘cry for help’ but I’d be scared what the consequences of that choice would be .

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].

We see that you are already getting some wonderful support from another Mumsnetter which 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.

Wishing you the very best,
MNHQ💐
