Depressed

pewpewmcdrew

Past fortnight I've been having suicidal thoughts too.

I'm wondering what support is available? I have NAS support at daytime but in the evenings recently I've just been thinking about suicide.

I'm fortunate enough to have enough funding available to employ support workers for more hours but my NAS team are short staffed.

Any ideas of extra support I could access (free or paid)?

  • I’m sorry you are going through such a tough time, it’s good that you’ve let us know what’s happening/how you feel. Many people have similar thoughts when coping with so much and we hope you’re okay.


    It’s very important to tell someone about your feelings or thoughts of suicide. 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 call  111  to reach the NHS 111 service:  http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/AboutNHSservices/Emergencyandurgentcareservices/Pages/NHS-111.aspx

    The Samaritans also provide confidential non-judgemental emotional support, 24 hours a day on 116 123, or by email on jo@samaritans.org.

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

    If you are very close to doing something to hurt yourself - 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.
