Samaritans : no answer

[WhatdoIsaytothem]

Name changed for this.
Recently lost both parents (3 years ago and 3 months ago), found out my boyfriend of the last 6 years has a new girlfriend for the last year and she has been told everything and she has taken him back, my uncle died last week and my sister has been diagnosed with breast cancer this week.

I just feel like I’m drowning in emotions. I just want the hurt of loosing my parents and my boyfriend to stop. I cried a lot today in front of my kids and my sister. I know she’s dealing with the cancer thing better than I am but I just feel I can’t cope with it all.
I can’t stop feeling so low. I even rang the Samaritans just to talk to somebody and all lines are busy. I don’t even know what I would say to them. I feel so bloody lonely and nobody to talk to for support.

Keep trying

They will answer

@WhatdoIsaytothem

I am so sorry you are facing all this.
It’s horrid.
Hopefully your kids are well.

Hello

I am so sorry to hear this. Keep trying to ring them. It can take a while but they will answer eventually.

Kids are with their Dad this weekend x I’m
Home alone and that makes it feel worse I think

Have you managed to get through to them yet? If not, I’m up and can chat .

Call your GP tomorrow morning and get an urgent appt. ❤️

Not yet.
I’m falling asleep and think I’ll just see if I can shut down and sleep x

Sleep tight

So sorry to hear you are going through so much, very understandable you need support.

Hopefully you have got to sleep by now but if not there's always people on here and you can chat to use if it helps. Think Samaritans maybe overwhelmed atm but if you keep trying they will help when they can. If you are in England you can self- refer for counselling via here:

Can also let GP know and they can refer (though may just give you the link) and they may also offer meds, if you feel you need those.

The boyfriend it will be really tough but sounds like you are better off without him. Your poor sister I hope you can both get support for her treatment, maybe Macmillan.

Sometimes just distracting yourself and watching Netflix or something similar can help get you through short periods and just take a day at a time. If you can have a nice day out with the kids and are up to that, it might help a bit.

Sleep well. Thinking of you. X
