Really desperate for help. No one left it seems

DaveAsperg

I feel dreadful Failed my family career sport. Obsessive ruminations.

psychiatrists made me worse with police conviction.

cant see any avenue left

  • I am sorry to hear how you feel.

    You are stronger than you think. Life does change for the better. Believe me, I've been through multiple circles of hell and still in one piece.
    Things will get better.

    :)

  • Hi, Dave. I'm really sorry to hear you're struggling.

    I'm sure your family don't feel that you've failed them. 

    Other than Kitsune's suggestions, my best advice would be to try and focus on one thing at a time - just try and take small steps to improve how you feel each day. Whether it's getting out for 15-20 minutes of fresh air each day, taking time to read a book/watch a film, or spending time with family/pets, try to focus on taking care of yourself a little better every day.

    It might not be your thing, but you could also check out The Happy Newspaper. I struggle with my mental health and find it sometimes gives me a little lift to read positive stories.

    We're all here to listen, so please take to the forum whenever you need to.

    I've done all those things , work for MiND, have worked as a SAMARITANS.

    Suicidal ideation is broadly speaking of 2 types

    1. Acute crisis, which may resolve with time. All the services you mention are for this

    2. Long term increasing problems - does not rsolve with time and crisis services no help. I feel a burden on everyone and living is not a pleasure any more. This is not selfish , but the reality of why so many die from suicide

  • I’ve been concerned for a while now that your mental state has been deteriorating. Please contact one of the following services (taken from the MIND website) and seek support:

    I'm in crisis now and I need urgent help

    If you don't feel you can keep yourself safe right now, seek immediate help:

    If you need urgent support but don't want to go to A&E, you could:

    If you want to help someone else, see our page on how to help someone else seek help, including how to help someone else in an emergency.

    What is a mental health crisis?

    A mental health crisis is when you feel your mental health is at breaking point, and you need urgent help and support.

    For example, you might have feelings or experiences that feel very painful or difficult to manage such as suicidal feelings, self-harm, panic attacks, flashbacks, hypomania or mania, or psychosis (such as paranoia or hearing voices). You might also have other experiences that aren't mentioned here.

    Some people feel in crisis as part of ongoing mental health problems, or due to stressful and difficult life experiences such as abuse, bereavement, addiction, money problems or housing problems. Or there might not be a particular reason.

    However you experience a crisis, it's always OK to ask for help.

    What help could I get?

    Nobody plans to have a crisis, but knowing your options can be useful. Exploring different types of support might be something you feel able to do at less difficult times. (Our page on planning for a crisis has more suggestions).

    There’s no wrong order to try things in – different things work for different people at different times. But some types of support might be more suitable for you, or more easily available.

    Below is information on some types of crisis support:

    Emergency GP appointments

    Your local GP surgery should offer you an appointment quickly if you need urgent support. You don't need to be registered as a patient already.
