Suicide contemplation

Has anyone seriously contemplated suicide and how did you come back from it?

I am in a situation and I can't see a way out.

Oh bless you op. I've been there, night and early morning were the scary hours. If you can, try to let a friend know at least a bit of this? Samaritans are brilliant and professionally trained but a loved one can keep an eye on you and give you the personal support you need too.

Thread policers can hop it. The only thing never to say to a depressed person is nothing. Keep talking xx

any support at work?

may be worth asking for an emergency meeting with HR.

There is a completely confidential employee helpline with my employer for mental health

@Zykonoz1234 I took an overdose earlier this year. I totally understand the hopelessness and despair that is felt when mental health is bad. I was off work for 8 months and at the time really couldn't see things getting better. But they are. Still having some bad days but things definitely do improve. Sending love. X

I attempted suicide twice. Thank God i failed as years later I'm mentally stable thanks to medication and lead what could be termed as a normal life with usual the ups and downs that go with it. I will never be free of my past/depression but life really is OK and I'm glad to still be alive

Absolutely.

The OP is clearly struggling with some very emotions and that must be mentally and emotionally challenging enough without dumping on her shoulders the responsibility she apparently holds to her family too.

I hate it when suicidal people are told they shouldn’t do it because it would devastate others. Other people are not the concern or the priority of anyone who is feeling so low that they are seriously considering suicide.

Edited to say that I’m glad you are feeling a little bit better. There was one point in my life where I was going through some incredibly difficult times where I did sometimes think that I didn’t want to carry on but thankfully I sought out support. It took me a long time to get back on track but making that first step is what’s important and you’ve done that. I hope things continue to improve for you x

Work situation is being resolved today.

Correct. An individual has to choose to live for themselves, not for their friends or family. They just need someone to listen and respect their choices.

How was your day OP?

Situation still ongoing.
