To end it all

[Needlepointy]

My best friend is nothing. I haven't anything else. It's all over. Nothing left to say. I have noone else.

What's happened with your friend? Please don't think of hurting yourself. 💐

Just here with a handhold OP what’s happened x

I felt like that: I was only alive because I knew if I wasn't then my eldest son wouldn't be either. I then met my soul sister, by absolute chance. Things can turn on a dime.
What can I do to help you through tonight?

Many years ago I had this feeling, not sure how I could possibly face another day. Things can and will get better. Please don't hurt yourself.

Things can ALWAYS get better, I promise.

Please call Samaritans for some advice or just a friendly voice.

The clouds can pass. Please talk to someone eho can help you through.

You have us op please talk to us. What's happened. Talking can help.

What happened with your friend OP?

There is always possibility, there is always change. Hold on x

Hey, nothing is that bad. You can get through this

People can help ⬆️ look at my UN, I use it sometimes when I feel so very low.
Please talk, here or to someone IRL if that's possible, Samaritans. Anyone.

You might feel like you have no one else right now. That absolutely doesn't mean you will never have anyone else. I k ow that's hard to believe. But it is true.

For now you have us lot on here. Can you speak to gp in the morning? For now can you do something grounding? Open window for fresh air? Make tea?

Here too OP x

I promise, all things pass. Things can turn around so quickly. Be gentle with yourself and just take some time to work through this. Keep posting, support is here for you. x

Not sure what's happened but I fell out with my best friend a couple of years ago. It was horrible and looking back she had turned into someone very different but for a time it was the worst pain. It will be ok I promise.

Why not tell us what the issue with your friend is. Take your time and "ramble on" as much as you like.

HI OP.

I'm so sorry you are feeling like this. I know life is tough at times but please remember bad times dont last forever. Whatever you are going through is temporary. We don't know what is in store for us. What if the best is still to come?

Have you thought about joining some local groups to meet new people? Maybe looking into a hobby that you once enjoyed or something you have always fancied trying? Or what about some of the friendship websites/apps, the same as dating sites but it's not for meeting to people to date, it's for meeting like minded friends?

I know life is tough & sometimes it's really shit, but better days can be ahead. Have a think about what you want from life and what you can do to achieve that, taking it slowly, bit by bit, one step at a time.

Please think about calling breathing space, the samaritans and Google any local mental health support groups that may be in your area. Also, visiting your GP who can direct you to the right support.

There is also a text line you can text called SHOUT if you don't feel like talking but would rather text. They are available 24/7.

Please have a think about reaching out for some support ♥️

Why don't you make a cup of tea then come back and tell us what happened. A problem shared really is a problem halved. Xx

Hope you’re ok op?? I’ve just been really let down by the person I thought was my best friend at a difficult time
it really hurts I know
you’ve got lots of people on here checking on you and wanting to chat…:
sending you strength xx

Hi op. I hope you're OK. I know it's hard but try and have some water and go to sleep. Some rest might help you see things more clearly when you wake up.

Your best friend will always be there for you, they might have shit going on right now, go and give them a hug, your best friends x

Hi Needlepointy, we're really sorry to hear that you're still feeling so very low.

When threads like this are flagged up to us we always 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 real life 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.

We can see that you've had some kind and supportive responses on this thread but we think it's best if we move it out of AIBU and into our Mental Health topic as that's a more sensitive place for it.

Are you ok@Needlepointy
