What’s the point

Whats-His-Face
over 4 years ago

im seriously considering taking my life, I can’t go to work cos I don’t function well in work environment but I can’t afford not to. I’m on esa support but it’s not enough and I can’t get pip cos they don’t believe my issues. I’m causing issues for others and I’m a burden on family who also can’t afford to keep me so what’s the point! I have no quality of life and I’m ruining everyone else’s so why carry on

    Dear Jason,

    Following on from the direct message, I’m sorry to hear you are going through a tough time. Many people have similar thoughts when coping with so much and we hope you’re okay.  Please keep sharing your thoughts and feelings with others in this forum, it is a very warm community, and I can see that other members of the community have responded to you already.

    If you are unable to cope with the distress or despair, it’s very important to tell someone about your feelings or thoughts of suicide. As Plastic and mouse2 have said, call your GP and make an urgent appointment. Your GP can make sure you get appropriate help and support.

    If it’s outside your GP hours you can call  111  to reach the NHS 111 service:   http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/AboutNHSservices/Emergencyandurgentcareservices/Pages/NHS-111.aspx 

    The Samaritans may be useful too and they can provide confidential non-judgemental emotional support, it is supposed to be 24 hours a day on 116 123, or by email on jo@samaritans.org.

    MIND have information pages on coping with suicidal feelings based on the experiences of people who’ve been through it that you may find helpful. 

    If you do find you are very close to doing something to hurt yourself, please call 999 now or go to your nearest A&E department. There should be someone there to support you and make sure you get ongoing support.

    If you need help with an autism related issue, our helpline can be emailed via webform https://www.autism.org.uk/services/helplines/main/questions.aspx or they’re open Monday to Thursday 10am-4pm and Friday 9am-3pm on 0808 800 4104. 

    Wishing you all the best,

    Kiran - Mod
