Please give me some advice or anything

Hi @detachedribs and welcome to the forums.

I know it can be really hard to open up and reach out like this, but I think you've done a good job, no issues with your words whatsoever.

When you say you've lost all your supports, is that your social supports, like friends and family, or professional supports, or both? Either way, we're here to listen and support you. I hope that joining here can help you to feel less alone, as there are so many members here who can relate to what you're going through

I have lost both sadly, however thank you so much for being here for me.

hey @detachedribs it's so great that you've picked up on the signs and you're aware of your emotions - it's not always easy to catch onto those changes! and you're reaching out here too which shows a lot of strength. you're absolutely not alone, here for you 💙

are there any healthy strategies that have or haven't helped in managing those thoughts? i'd love to hear what you've tried, and maybe i can suggest some new one's if that's something you're interested in 😊

I have tried some distractions, such as drawing and even journalling my feelings. I've even attempted the rubber band on wrist and holding ice cubes; However nothing appears to help.

I would love to know some other healthy strategies though! ❤️

@detachedribs @I found being on the forums helped while I established irl support.

there are different mental health and suicide online organisations. Keep searching online and connecting to what speaks to you. Usually longer term support is better than crisis lines, though they have their place.

when you feel up to it, there are recovery and social threads where you can meet others in this community.

I am running out of battery so logging off

take care
