Suicidal Thoughts - Are you Feeling Suicidal Today?

[may71]

I'm sorry you're going through this Facesar

I know there’s not much anyone here can really do besides offer moral support (which is obviously incredibly important, and honestly, it’s helped me a lot). But my situation at home is a complete fucking nightmare, and I need help from the outside, in real life.

In principle I might be able to offer something that is helpful, but I'd want your permission to do that.

No more chest pains, for the minute, but still feel pretty awful and no real purpose. So, no, don't want to be here...

 

[AvidFan]

Not so much today, which is a relief. It's always on the table somewhere, but at the moment it's like option 15 rather than option 1.

Yes. Really having difficulty functioning now. <mod edit: method> I just need the desperation to get bad enough.
I so wish we were allowed some peaceful method.

Sending hugs to anyone who would like hugs

Hell yes!

Sorry youre going thru such a difficult time @anona123. I hope things will turn around for you very soon.

Thank you, may
I’d honestly be grateful for any help at all.

Thank you for noticing and trying to help, even if it’s just emotionally. I know everyone here is struggling, which makes any kind of help feel even more important and valuable

Sorry for the late reply, I somehow missed your message.

Thanks, always need hugs. Also, miserable and still no point. People keep acting as though I need instructions on what to do, even when I've been doing it for decades and know better than them how it works...

I have extremely strong suicidal thoughts. I’m not even sure if I should write anything at all. I’m shutting myself off. I’m starting to ask for help less and less, while withdrawing more and more into myself. I don’t really want to attempt suicide. That’s partly why I’m saying this. But who knows

I’m afraid I might just end up taking my own life quietly, without saying anything or asking for help

 

[LumberJack]

I’m more or less keeping self termination off the table for now. This doesn’t mean I am immune from wistful fantasies of release from existence.

Please say as much or as little as you wish. You are among people who understand.

Thank you, may

You're welcome!

Sorry for the late reply

That's ok.

You may already know about these resources, apologies in advance if that's the case, but they're probably the first thing to start with.

www.hotpeachpages.net

Hotpeachpages.net has a world-wide directory of domestic violence and abuse resources, as well as a library of documents in many languages.

Domestic Violence and Abuse
www.thehotline.org, 1-800-799-7233 (US only)

If DV resources can't find housing for you, and you happen to live in either the US or Canada, 211 may be worth a try.

211 is for help with food, housing, employment, health care, counseling and more. You can call 211, and you can also visit the websites www.211.org (US) or www.211.ca (Canada).

I called a DV resource once on someone else's behalf. Availability of beds in a DV shelter was tight, but the counselor said sometimes the police will let people stay in a local jail.

Hopefully you can transition to temporary housing and then move on to something more permanent if you can get either benefits or work.

Sending hugs if you would like hugs

Those are good resources @may71 and I'll add that if a victiim asks the police for the phone number for the women's shelter, they will find a way for you to get in touch with them. Women and children can stay and be safe. You can relax and get some counseling, sleep, eat and do laundry etc., as well as get a lot of referrals while you are there. It is usually a regular house, but is 'under the radar' and not advertised or easily found.
Best to you @Facesar

I can't cope with my daughters struggles. I have posted the history of this previously, so I won't repeat it.

Every time, I find out that she is not coping with life, I crash. And since I already tried the ultimate escape once. Thinking of doing it again is a much easier place to go.

I just don't know how to face another minute with this pain of not being able to help my daughter.

I know, the saying that "when the going gets tough, the tough get going". Well, I got nothing left and I don't care. I know that it will make things worse for my daughter and family. But I just don't know how to deal this and go on....

 

[may71]

@peterx
I'm sorry things have been so bad for both you and your daughter.

There may be some treatment methods that could help both of you.

I know you've said in the past that you'd rather avoid medication, but just about anything is better than a suicide attempt. If you've exhausted all other possibilities, I hope you'll give medication a try.

I hope you're not alone, and you can always write to us here. There's also Lifeline (13 11 14 ) if a voice would help at all, and Mensline ( 1300789978 ). Please hold on and stay alive. You're correct about suicide making things worse for your family.

@may71 @seabird
Thanks for the support. It helps. I have calmed down a bit. I am using the techniques my psychologist has taught me. While they don't fix things, they do take some of the edge off.
