Seen a tweet other night he posted that he was about to kill himself and just seen Newcastle's twitter confirm it after players tried to reach out to him.

In these times and this time of year a lot of people are suffering and think they have no way out.

Hope everyone who reads this is doing well, if not, do not be afraid to speak out as there is help out there.



RIP Martin
 
I just saw the tweet from NUFC and wondered what this was about.

My only comment is that he’s in a much better world now than this god awful one. This isn’t a life it’s just a miserable existence and he’s better off out of it. i’m actually envious he had the courage to take his life. I’ve been ok for the past few weeks but have been thinking about it for years.
 
Noble post Breakthewalls... . I was thinking much the same as we are hearing of too many similar instances . It’s tragic how much people are enduring and to think myself and many on here got so upset two nights ago at a football result !
Gives us all a shake and a Look out for each other signpost .

Aet that’s an opinion I don’t agree with, we all have something or someone to stick around for. Even the fact that if things are so bad they can and will get better, hang in there because there’s people who want you around.
I don’t have all the answers but I’m willing to chat if you want to message me, my wife works for a mental health service and I can get answers if you need them for what’s available. But if it’s just to talk I can do that. That goes for anyone reading this.

I saw Martin Lorimers tweet too and it was followed up saying he’d been found and everyone who’d reached out was elated. Seems he didn’t find what he needed in the following 2 days. So sad.

That’s a nice post.
There are many in a dark place at the moment and I can’t imagine what it must feel like.

Aet - take care fella
 
It’s an awful situation to be in to think that’s the only way out. This time of year always seem to be the time when people are particularly impacted, seasonal affective disorder is very common, couple that with Covid and issues are multiplied. There is help and it’s not a one size fits all solution but if you are suffering reach out, maybe you won’t find the solution straight away but keep trying until you find something that works for you be it talking to others, exercise a hobby, share your thoughts and fears with others and so on. It’s a constant struggle and it’s something that needs to be worked on regularly throughout your life. For everyone who is struggling Remember there are always others who are there to pick you up, help you out, listen to you. I will recommend one resource And it may not be for everyone but it is sevencups counselling- it is a free service - anonymously you can chat online to a counselllor about what is bothering you, anyone suffering consider giving it a try!

Think about your last few weeks and why it has seemed better Aet.
There are so many people who would reach out to help/support/care. I know I care what happens to you.
Think about the date in your user name and its wonderful significance.
 
Poor bloke, RIP 😞

When you're imprisoned and tortured by your own thoughts from the moment you wake up until the moment you (eventually) fall asleep, death can seem like the better option. It's terrifying when these seem like your only two choices. I won't deliberately end my life as I couldn't do it to my family, but often I wish I could go to sleep and never wake up again. I don't want to die, I just don't really want to live either.

Keep on keeping on Scubes. Every day offers the chance that you will feel happier. It might not happen, but if we don't try, we'll never know.
 
Awful to read some of the above, especially about Martin. But heartwarming to see many of the responses. It makes you realise how lucky you are sometimes. I'm not without down days and anxiety from time to time but I am happy to talk about it and it really helps. It made me feel even better knowing that I even had close friends going through similar things and they were also happy to talk.

Reach out and speak to people, keep the conversation going, it really does help.

I feel the same and don’t think I could have summed it up any better. Not wanting the life you are stuck with, but seeing no other option. Seeing nothing right or good in anyone or anything. It’s just a horrible nasty affliction.

Yes. It was a wonderful day wasn’t it. Cost a bloody fortune but memories that last a lifetime. Thank you for your kind words

I hear you. I was under the auspices of the local well being service but i just feel utterly let down by them. I’ve absolutely no idea how to get help or who else to turn to.
 
Aet and Scuba please hang in there. Like others have said, if you ever feel the need to chat then drop myself or some of the other good folk on here a message. I too have suffered mental health issues previously, and have been unfortunate enough to harbour dark thoughts, however I thankfully sought help. I also found that getting back to the gym and running helped enormously. That big dark cloud still follows me but I know how to manage it.

Things will get better. I could never see it, but they do. Perhaps try volunteer work if possible. It's a great way for you to feel how much good you can do, and have much value your life carries.

Absolutely heartbreaking reading some of the posts in this thread. Scuba, AET ... hang in there, guys. I am around to talk, I know it seems like a feeble gesture in the circumstances but if there's anything I can do to make a day easier for anyone, I would. I have a long history of mental illness on one side of the family and signed off sick myself recently, I know how utterly miserable, complex, and morbid things can get. There seems to be so much of it occurring these days, folks emotionally troubled .. mental illness is still vastly misunderstood, one can become so discouraged it seems there's only one way out. Don't let it get the better of you.

Hang in there. Be well. I hope today is a better one.
