Hi @Eden1919,
Sounds like you feeling really distressed at the moment. As we are limited in the support we can provide you here on the Forums, it's really important that you try and call someone to talk about what's going on for you. Here are some services that can help.
Lifeline: 13 11 14 or Chat
Suicide Call Back: 1300 659 467 or Online Counselling
000 if at immediate risk.
You can also call the Crisis Assessment and Treatment Team in your area.
All the best,
supernova.
