I'm locked inside of my mind. I'm worn out mentally. My grip is slipping. My heart feels crushed. My scream is silent.
"And I ask myself out loud
Have I been lost all along
Was there something I could say or something I should not have done"
The end is near.

Hey @Loz_3647
Take care. Sane is not a crisis service and you sound quite desperate.
Do you have a safety plan?
I suggest you call either Lifeline 131114
or 000

From what I can see looking at how you've been lately, the question isn't whether you need a safety plan @Loz_3647
The question is, what else do you need, in order to be in a place where you don't need a safety plan?
Clearly that thing you need is either very hard or very frightening. Probably both. That's why we're here.

Just resonating with your post and Munch's Scream.
I like that it is wordless.
Its really hard.
There is a limit to what people on the forum can do.
In some ways that can be a good in that we cannot jump to interfere and call in the coppers for a welfare check or something like that. Not sure exactly what Sane protocols are behind the scenes. Sometimes it is good to be able to vent without fear of escalation in services.
That Sane is not a crisis service means the help we can give is limited, but it can also be worthwhile, if you can see as a bunch of people struggling just like you rather, people with ALL the answers and responsibility. That gives you some options to engage in ways that matter to you. Start new threads, join in on old ones. Say a lot. Say a bit.
Do what you have to do to get yourself in a better place. I have had Suicidal thoughts rattling around in my head for nearly 40 years ... I get very tired of it ... weary sigh ...

I'm cheating, by replying here instead of in the message you said not to reply in. I'm a rule-bender. A maverick. It's scandalous.
Can't let it be unsaid that, we remain here for you.
Conversely, can't let it go unacknowledged that, yes, we're mostly going to respond with a pro-recovery vibe.
You've got fight. You're a fighter. Respect.
