I don't see the point in living anymore. I can't.
I've called helplines but tonight it's just not helped.
I've spent way too much time in hospital over the years and nothings ever helped.
I just can't anymore

Hi @The-red-centaur,
Just had a shift change. Sorry I havent seen your email.
Sounds like it's a really rough time and right now perhaps it's best to focus on safety first.
I realise that you have not always wanted to call the helplines but can you please speak to someone? Sorry but the forum is about peer support and is not a counselling or a crisis service.
It’s really important that if you are feeling unsafe, you reach out to the best, most appropriate support. In a crisis, that would include Lifeline 13 11 14, Suicide Callback Service 1300 659 467, or 000 if you’re in immediate danger.
Please look after yourself mate.
All the best
Joe the Lion

Hi @The-red-centaur - i heard that you are having a really tough time and you are having trouble sleeping - one thing I try is adding a little vanilla essence to a glass of milk - most likely you don't have any right now but you could get some later if you can get out - I found this helped after my mother died and the doctor wouldn't prescribe sleeping tablets - all the best Centaur - Dec
