Really struggling with life at the moment but I’m to scared to die

I am really struggling with my life my mental health has plummeted and I’m really struggling. I’m not eating or sleeping I keep messing things up with my friend we arguing all the time and things are going from bad to worse. Can’t get any work with the agency I’m working for and during one of my autism groups I walked out and had a staff member chase after me luckily she never caught up with me. I keep wanting to end things I’ve picked out what funeral I want and the songs power of love Frankie goes to Hollywood, before you go by Lewis capaldi and Highway to Hell by AC/DC. But I can’t do I’m to scared I keep thinking what would happen to my dog and what if I’m not found in time she would die from starvation and just because I’m suffering why should she suffer she just a sweet innocent old dog. I don’t want to lose my friend I want to go out to work and I want to live but my life is so hard I can’t go on I’m tired and fed up and I feel like what the point. I want to be with my mum at peace and all my suffering would end but I physically cannot kill myself I’m a coward to much of a coward to live to much of one to die. I pray that my suffering will end and for god to take it away but it continues and only gets worse.

  • I'm not sure what to say except I hope you find a way to carry on despite your suicidal feelings.

    If it helps: I've been there and did make an attempt, which was obviously unsuccessful. I'm glad now that it was because my life got a lot better afterwards. I have also had the experience of someone close to me nearly dying of suicide too and seeing the impact it had was heartbreaking. Not only his desperation that I couldn't help with (he has severe mental health problems and was suffering intense paranoid delusions) but also when I had to phone his Dad from the hospital and then one of his friends and their reactions. Luckily I got him to hospital in time and he is managing much better now. So, things can and do improve in my personal experience.

    I'm glad you have your dog as an anchor and something to carry on for. 

    I did look up the bit of this site that has crisis links and definitely consider reaching out.

    If you feel like it is coming to a crisis point and you might make an attempt I urge you to go to A&E. They have duty psychiatrists who can talk to you about things and offer immediate help. Please stay safe.
