Feeling suicidal

Sholay09

Hello I am starting to have thoughts of suicide as unfortunately I feel that I cannot cope with life any longer as nobody seems to listen or understand when I do not like change as I always like everything to be the same, who I am and what I am like as a person and also when I still need a lot of help as an adult as I suffer from severe anxiety and mental health issues too as well as autism. I just do not know what to do anymore!!!!

  • Hi Sholay09,

    I'm sorry to hear you're struggling so much. You mentioned being in Birmingham, there is a Birmingham-based group you can talk to 24/7 who will try to help and send someone out to visit with you if necessary. You can find out more here - https://www.forwardthinkingbirmingham.org.uk/get-help-urgently

    If you'd rather talk to someone online rather than on the phone, Samaritans offers help in person, on the phone, and via email. You can see the contact information here - https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help-you/contact-us

    There are several other charities and organisations recommended by the NHS and the NAS, like Calm and SANE, that you can find information about here - https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/suicide/getting-help/ - along with advice and information from the NHS about how to get through a period of feeling suicidal.

    I hope some of these resources can provide some help to you,

    Best wishes,

    Ross - mod

  • Hi Sholay99,

    I was in a similar position to this just last week and it is very frightening.  Life is hard and confusing at the best of times and I know what it is like to feel you can't keep battling on with it all.

    As overwhelming as it may feel, it will pass with time.  A week on, I am still feeling very down, but not suicidal.  I have gained some perspective and realised I am completely burnt out and asking too much of myself.  The people on these forums are very helpful, supportive and understanding, so don't feel like you are alone.

    Do you have anyone you can turn to for support or any professional support that may be able to make things easier for you?

    Stay strong and focus on you and staying well.

  • Understand how you feel.

    7:30am and I still cannot fall asleep.

    My informal advice.  It's what I try.

    Take a bath, you may feel better after a good soak.

    Vacuum your carpets and do the washing up. might keep you busy and take your mind of things.
