Whenever someone posts a message saying that they are feeling suicidal it makes me catch my breath. My ex partner died through suicide after a long, painful struggle with mental health problems.
I have just seen a new website for people who are having suicidal thoughts, so I thought I'd post a link:
http://stayingsafe.net/
The first page has videos designed to help in a crisis, if you press 'need help right now' on the second page you will see information about a range of services.
There is an organisation called SOBS (Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide) offering support to people bereaved by suicide:
https://uksobs.org
They have a telephone helpline, some local groups, and you can get support via email too.
