Hi Suicidal85 and welcome to this caring forum. I am sorry to hear that things are so difficult for you. I have added a trigger warning to your posts in accordance with Health Unlocked community guidelines. This is because we need to highlight to other members of the community that they may not be comfortable with reading some of the content of the posts and this will alert them. We would like to help you too. Please be reassured that you are not alone. It is really positive that you have seen your GP and will see the mental health team again to discuss how you are feeling. They will be able to help and support you. The mental health team will be able to help you with some coping strategies. Many people find that it helps them to write down how they are feeling. You may wish to continue to do this and show it to the mental health staff. Please do not give up hope. You are valued and things will get better when you have received some help. Try to take small steps.

I spoke on the phone to the GP but they couldn’t do anything. I see them in just under 3 weeks time. Mental health have discharged me MAS_Nurse. I did put a TW on the post.
Hi Suicidal85 and thank you for your reply and for adding a trigger warning to your post. Please stay on this caring forum where you will continue to receive support. Take care.
Hi, Did you get to see my reply to you last night before your post was taken down? I will post again the help numbers.
Mental Health Matters is a particularly good one as they have a web chat service and you are talking with mental health professionals. Their web address is mhm.org.uk/
Mind - mind.org.uk/ - Contact us 0300 123 3393 Our lines are open 9am to 6pm, Monday to Friday (except for bank holidays). info@mind.org.uk
MAS_Nurse has already given you the Samaritans number. they are excellent at just listening and I have been where you are and have called them. Sometimes just being able to talk and cry without being interrupted is enough to get you through the roughest of times
Stay strong, keep safe, lets us know how you are getting on
Hi Lesley thank you for replying. I went on the mhm site and not in those areas. Will look at the mind one as well and the crisis one also. I have spoken to Samaritans before via email.
Thank you for your reply last night too. I saw you replied but couldn’t access it.
When I clicked it a drop down menu asked where I was based. So did the crisis support one. Will have another look tomorrow. I did just now and said the webchat is closed for tonight.
I am sorry to hear that you are struggling have you tried doing something to take you mind off of things, such as a hobby or an interest I find that my mind wonders less and stays on focus more, it’s not a quick fix but you will find that it does help I would also like to point out that if your doing something you mind is more focused on what your doing I started to grow things fruit and vegetables and since I have have started growing my mind is more focused on that please please try to help your self you could even take up growing bonsai trees if you ever wanna chat you can message me direct ian
Hi Ian thank you so much for your reply. I am not usually this bad. But have had a bad time recently and have fallen further and further down. I usually am more comfortable going out and clearing my head, reading, TV, but this time it’s harder than it’s been in a while to get back up again.
The main thing is your not alone I had it bad myself and to be honest I wouldn’t normally comment on posts and I would direct message the person but to be fair I am here if you need to talk
I am very sorry to hear you are in such a dark place. It can't be easy for you. But reading your post i see you still think about others and wanting to help others in return when you can. That is one of the best things about this site in my opinion. Take care.
I do really want to help others when I can. Sites like these need to be given more publicity. Relieved I have found it and everyone so nice and helpful.
MH probs. I’ve had GAD PTSD for years and struggle almost daily with different fears. I’ve learnt when I’m highly anxious to ground myself instead of trying to rationalise it. Once I’m back in my window of tolerance- I can then think rationally!
Some days are easier than others and some aren’t and feel never ending! Just know that how ur feeling WILL pass! it will get easier! NEVER GIVE UP!! Use breathing techniques (google if u don’t know any), concentrate on ur body and imagine ur rooted into the flood and concentrate only on the sensations u experience in you body. Be kind to yourself! Rest and do what you need to do to get through this episode. Listen to what your body needs x x
Will have to Google some as anxiety has been sky high over the last few days. I just want out of this rut I have got myself in to. The pit seems never ending. Thank you for your reply Hannah1987 x
I’m here if u ever need to talk day or night! Just a the other end of a msg on here! You will get out of the rut u feel your in.... I promise it will feel lighter at some point in time. Time is a healer, it truly is!! X x
Thank you Hannah1987b as I am for you also. You’re words mean a lot. Things are bad again. Thought I was getting somewhere the previous few days but no. How are you? x
Hay, so sorry it’s been worse again 😢 I still have flare ups but now, the pattern has changed . Usually I have warning signs to say when I’m anxious but past few months ....none! No warning ⚠️ until I’m SUPER stressed then bam💥 hits me like a ton of bricks 🧱 now aramedics have been called twice in just few months as I swear I was having a heart attack! It’s awful BUT I’ve learnt tricks over the years that help. Some I’ve already said, others inc sitting under the shower so it feels like I’m under a waterfall with the water covering my head and ears, meditation, weighted blankets to give the feeling of safety, elastic bands around wrists which I ping hard esp when I dissociate! Drinking a pint of ice cold water every time I feel anxious and the big one which everyone loves (not) .......exercise 🏃♀️🏃🏻♂️!! It helps me no end. It helps me to feel healthy body and mind esp!! The endorphins are amazing!! Oh and distraction- distracting my mind to keep busy in other stuff then practicing self care when kids aren’t about x always here . Take care lovely . Be strong 💪🏻 💪🏻💎💎
Sorry to hear sometimes it just hits with no warning and that paramedics had to be called. I’ve always wanted to have a shower put in where I live but only have a bath. Sounds amazing having water from the shower head pouring over you. Love oceans, rivers, lakes all lovely to be near. Serene almost. I’ve used elastic bands to help with not wanting to hurt myself and can really pull back hard on them. I write poems as well as was told no one cares how you growing up so kept my words to pen and paper. Sometimes that can be triggering though. Have also bought myself a bullet journal in the hope something positive comes out of recording things rather than bad feelings all the time. Take care of you also. Thanks hun x
