I made a serious attempt on my life 30 years ago but was unexpectedly disturbed and it was touch and go but I survived that.
I’ve now been suicidal for the last couple of years but haven’t acted on any plans.

I dreamt last night that I was in a mountainous country and I jumped off the top of a mountain. There was no chance of survival and I felt relieved and calm on the way down which took about 20 seconds. I can’t remember what happened when I landed but I wasn’t hurt (as it was a dream).

Has anyone else dreamt that they have taken their own lives as this is the first time it has happened to me in my 30+ years of MH struggles and it has unsettled me to have actually taken the final step?

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.

Wish you the very best, OP.
