Re: Taking the plunge
Hi @Former-Member and supporters including @Gazza75 @Former-Member @Shaz51
Connection on the forums can be an important part of your recovery and some people find that it can be a useful distraction or way to calm themselves when they're in distress. Feelings of hopelessness and despair can be really painful and having thoughts of suicide is probably more common than many people acknowledge or realise. It is great @Former-Member that you are able to voice these feelings and share these thoughts: that can be an important part of keeping yourself safe.
People who are struggling with intense thoughts of suicide can really benefit from some one-to-one support (which is not available on the forums). You can find this with the Suicide Call Back Service: 1300 659 467 or their online counselling

Re: Taking the plunge
Thank you @Shaz51 ... hugs much appreciated, something I can really use lately.
Perhaps you could use a big hug right now too @Former-Member . Please hang in there my friend. Just get through each hour, each day ... one at a time. And please do as @Former-Member suggests and seek some one on one support from the SCBS if you feel yourself slipping further into a pool of despair. I implore you to not let it reach a critical level, its just not worth it, when help is there. You just have to ask sweetie. I know thats hard, but sometimes its necessary. Hi @Gazza75 , you are such a great guy, always around in a crisis. Wish there were more of you. Sending a hug your way too.
