Hey, we are all here to support you and will understand everything you are going through. I am so sorry that you are so desperate that it has come to attempting to take your own life, just so the pain would go. Be strong mate and you will get through it. Easy to say that when you are having a good day!!!!!! I have felt the same as you, been balling my eyes out and screaming that I need my Dr to help me. I feel like I am going potty!!!!!

Have you ever tried meditation? My friend suggested it to me, I was a bit synical, however now it really helps and I am doing a course in it. Good luck and keep going, if not for you, then for your kids, they need you!!x
