I'm an absolute mess. My husband has left me, I've lost my job and all I can think about is suicide. I just don't want to be here anymore but I know it'd hurt my parents

Samaritans - they have helped me numerous times .
Id strongly recommend a book by Matt Haig ‘Reasons to stay alive ‘
You will be OK x

How are you this evening? I hope you found some support.

When I was in the middle of my very darkest hour someone said to me 'things can often suddenly get better'. It really stood out to me and gave me hope, and they were right too. Things did improve and even turned out much better than they were before. It's hard to believe right now but hold on and things will change.

Thank you everyone, I really appreciate it.

How are you doing, @Andoutcomethewolves ?

SarcasticIntrovert · 28/12/2024 09:04

Hope you're okay.

I don't really know what is normal any more. I was taken out of school at 13 and was taken to a different country. Then left home at 16 and lived in a squat in another country again. I've pulled myself up and am now in a professional job but I've always felt that the only worth i have (to my husband and family) is earning enough to support them. I just don't feel like there's any point in me.

Have you been able to speak to someone in real life? You absolutely have worth in yourself, you sound like you’ve been through it and absolutely don’t know what normal is.

first things first is to look after yourself, you could do with some therapy, then when your ready start job hunting. You’ve come so far already now it’s your time to shine.

things will get better.

Hi, @Andoutcomethewolves,

How are you doing today? If it might help to PM, drop me a message. I'd be happy to message with you.

BrusselSproutsRock · 30/12/2024 21:14

Hi OP, I think I recognise you from your previous threads. Your husband has been treating you appallingly for so long.
I know it doesn’t feel like it now but this is a new start for you without him abusing you and trashing your self esteem.
Can your parents provide you with any emotional support at the moment?

Billblue · 30/12/2024 21:19

@Andoutcomethewolves I know it's hard to believe at the moment but things will change. Things will get better.

Billblue · 30/12/2024 21:19

Have you spoken to your GP?

Doyouthinktheyknow · 30/12/2024 21:29

There is always someone to talk to and there is support available.

If you are struggling out of hours or at night, 111 option 2 will link you to local mental health support or Samaritans are always there.

It can feel really lonely but there are always people who you can talk to. Every A&E should have a mental health liaison team too so if you can’t keep yourself safe, A&E is an option.

MN is always here too💐

Your GP can direct you to counseling services as well as looking at medication options too.

Most importantly things will get better for you, it just takes time. I hope it helps to know that people do care.

How are you doing OP. Are you the lawyer who has a property that her brother lives in?

You have so much to be proud of and it is a positive step to get shot of that deadbeat husband of yours.

Tubs11 · 04/01/2025 09:49

Looks like you've done amazing things in the face of adversity. You deserve the right love and support moving forward. Is there anyone in RL that can provide that for you?

Zuve · 04/01/2025 09:52

It can be good again, people will come into your life just wait, pray, no booze or anything that polutes the body. We are all here
