Any decent hotlines for unaliving?

[OneBrightAzureBiscuit]

hi,
im having a huge breakdown. So much bad crap has happened in my life to me, I’m hated by practically everyone in my town and nobody wants to know me. I want to die and make the world a better place however I guess I’d say I tried and I’m thinking of calling a suicide line. Does anyone have any names of hotlines that actually helped them? I’ve texted SHOUT but they don’t answer and when they do the conversation is over before it’s began. I’m not expecting any of these hotlines to help in the grand scheme of things but does anyone have any success stories?

Ring 999 and ask for an ambulance.

I’ve never used any but my late husband took his life and I can promise you it’s not the way out.

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 are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.

Just a note to say that I am thinking of you and hope you reach out via the links above for help or as a previous poster said dial 999. You deserve help, please give those things a try ❤️

111 option 2 is MH crisis team

Lots of areas have a mental health 111 line, call 111 and see if they can connect you to a mh team. Xx

The Samaritans…

116 123

They’ve helped out several good friends of mine. They’ll listen and they’ve heard it all and never judge. I hope you find some help Op, you’ll get through this and be glad you stayed alive, trust me.

I really respect that living instinct in you for reaching out. I know first hand how tough it is and the intensity of feeling like there is no other option and how pausing helped me to reach out, like just pausing the moment. As others have said 999 is a good call as a way of pausing despite thoughts. These guys are also open until 12am https://www.spuk.org.uk/national-suicide-prevention-helpline-uk/ x thinking of you right now in solidarity 💛

The Samaritans are fantastic. I believe their policy is to listen and they won't call any services if you don't want them to. You should be able to discuss this without judgement.

Well done for reaching out. Please ring 999 or if you area has the mental health line 111.
You deserve help so please ring all options including the Samaritans as well if you can.
Do you have any friends or family that could sit with you? X

The Samaritans will talk to you. They are really understanding. You can also contact papyrus.

If you can’t keep yourself safe, call 111 and choose option 2 or get to A and E.

Do you want to tell us more about what is going on?

NHS Direct option 2.

Local crisis team

I can also totally recommend The Samaritans to you. If it is the same then you always talk to a warm person, there was also premises where you could actually go in to talk.

If you can get yourself through the next few hours there is a good chance that you will find a way forward soon, how you are feeling is a feeling, scary bad one but it is probable that the reality is that people don't hate you, you are just too depressed to realise that.

Sending love and hope

Hey @OneBrightAzureBiscuit just checking in and hope you are ok. 💚

Like with all volunteer ran lines it depends who you get. But I think Shout can be good. Samaritans can be good.

One thing I would say is that because these lines are ran by volunteers, so some people aren’t as good to speak to as others. Some people you don’t vibe with. Some are probably students and whilst well meaning, they really don’t have much life experience (not talking about all young people ofc).

So if you get someone and you do t click, hang up and try again.

Theres also specific lines like rape crisis and women’s aid who deal with specific issues. If you google your main issue or let us know on here there might be a better helpline we can direct you to.

You say you’re having a breakdown which makes me think of mind: https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/helplines/
Their number is +44-300-1021234 but they aren’t always available so check the times.

Sending you all the best.
