Suicidal

I've been unable to sleep properly for past week almost (sleep is ok generally). I worry about getting to sleep ironically. Barely getting even one hour tonight.

Suicidal thoughts are also there. Just about stopping myself doing something.

I’m also menopausal.

Saw my GP who thinks it’s HRT related and I need more but I’ve got palpitations, irrational thoughts (prob due to not sleeping) anxiety and it’s crippling.

Spoke to Samaritans who was lovely but he was an older man who hadn’t been through this before.,.

I think I’d try sleeping tablets even though I was scared of taking them when younger.

please help.

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]. 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 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.
