Hi guys,

I'm really struggling with suicidal thoughts, wanting to run away, thinking life will be better without me in it. Wish death had took me instead of my Mum.

I have had a lot going on Mum's death in July, my Uncle's death in September, family dynamics, family fighting.

I usually get depressed around about this time of year but now I'm suicidal. I hope this is a blip but it's not looking like that.

I called the duty worker in my mental health team. They recommend distractions and they would get my Community Psychiatric Nurse to contact me that was 7 hours ago its 9pm here so hoping my CPN calls tomorrow.

I'm just really f$$$ed up.... sorry!!!

Hopefully they get back to you soon. I know it's after hours but maybe they have an on call dr. Until bed hang out here. I'm sorry you're feeling so bad.

I can call NHS 24 but I don't want to just cause I'm staying with my Sister tonight and I haven't told her. Purely for the fact she has been working late tonight preping for a meeting first thing.

If I get worse I will contact someone

I think your state of mind is in part the grief process.

Hi Laura,

This is my first time posting here in this forum. I saw your post because I too am having strong thoughts to just want to die but not a plan.

Miss Laura, How old are you? I turn 60 tomorrow.. Life is hard with mood disorders and being lonely. Thankfully you are with your sister and not alone and perhaps you can just sit in the living room and watch TV and talk to her or call someone.

Talking things through on the phone can provide temporary relief. I agree with BethRags' opinion that some of what you're feeling is grief. Hang on.
Thanks for this!

Do you have a text support system there? Here texting something (741741 I think) hooks you to someone to talk to.

I hope you feel better soon and that your nurse gets back to you soon.

Yeah we can call or email The Samaritans, call or chat online to Breathing Space, text SHOUT to a number and they will support you. I just hate bugging people. I know I'm worthy of support I should just do it but I can't. Thanks guys it's nearly 9am here so hopefully my CPN will call at some point today

I hope your CPN calls soon, or has already this morning, Miss Laura. You absolutely need support! And I think it would be highly beneficial, if possible, to get grief counseling. I didn't right away after my mother died either. I got to the point where I demanded it while at the hospital. Luckily they came up with a group after my request. There was a younger woman who lost someone dear to her and a middle-aged woman who lost her teenage daughter who also participated. I couldn't help but wonder if I hadn't pressed for this counseling if none of us would have received it. Maybe consider asking for one.

If it gets bad, get a ride or drive yourself to the hospital. Is there a psych ER in your hospital? Is it far?

My pdoc's office has an after hours emergency line. Does yours?

We can't do that here we need to be referred. We can go to A&E (ER) and see but I live 1 hour away from there. I'm with my Sister tonight. I'm trying to tell her but can't find the words. I can call NHS24 or 111 and ask for mental health support. But not wanting to do that as I'm with my Suster who doesn't know a thing

I can't sat the words... "I'm suicidal"

I can't say "I want to die"

I can't say "I feel unsafe especially outside"

I want to stop writing my funeral plans etc but I'm committed to it now

I don't know what to say but nobody has answered you and I feel bad for that. I think you need to get help. Can you write a note that you need help and give it to you sister or to someone else who can get you help? Try to find something to do besides writing funeral plans; that is only going to make you feel worse and is probably dangerous.

Please seek help immediately. You are in an urgent situation.

My nurse called today and said I'm not in immediate danger. Says I don't think you will do anything silly over the weekend I'll call you on Monday. I'm seeing her in person on Friday.

I have numbers to call if I get worse. I'm at my Dad's tomorrow afternoon for the weekend

That sucks! Most disheartening and a feeling of nobody-wants-me.

I know it is night there but I hope you see this when you wake up. How are you doing? Are you safe?

I'm worried about you.
