Suicide ideation

Hi @Artgirl-80laun I'm hearing how hard it is to get through each day when you're experiencing thoughts of suicide, but I'm also hearing how much you care about your daughter and want to be here for her.

While we're waiting for more community members to come across this post I'm wondering what has made it possible for you to get through each day so far, despite having to battle with these thoughts? Are there any things that help you to get through the day, even if they're just little things?

My whole life revolves around my daughter and the rest is just filling it in with whatever I can at home I find my life to be so boring and mundane and why can't I have the happiness others have

That sounds like quite a lonely position to be in during those times that you're not with your daughter @Artgirl-80laun Do you have any other supports or friends who you can reach out to in those times when you're not with your daughter?

My daughter's always with me I always think about not being here but I only have 1 friend and my girl doesn't see her dad she only has me . My friend has schizophrenia so I have have very minimal contact when I'm like this

Have you ever found it useful to chat with a service like Lifeline or suicide call back service about your thoughts @Artgirl-80laun? It can be really important to have supports to be able to lean on and talk to when these thoughts are there. I'm really glad that you've connected with this community too and hope that the forums can be a safe space to go to for support too.
