I don't know if you are working, or what your situation is, most employers now have a mental health first aid team or access to counselling for their colleagues, it might be worth taking a look at this. I have had previously suicide first aiders, which I'm not sure is worthwhile for you, the biggest hurdle is recognising you are in pain and understanding your links to life, I think you have already started down that journey.Need a bit of help lad and lasses. Been reading this board since early 2000’s and decided to make an account a few months ago. Purely because the help I saw some people received who were struggling. Unfortunately I’m 1 of those lads at the moment. I’ve got 2 brilliant kids but going through a marriage break up. I’ve literally googled how to end it quickly and it seems a great easy fix. Thankfully my kids stop me because I can’t stand the thought of them not having their fun daft dad around. Especially my little lad who we both have season tickets. Please somebody tell me this **** gets better.
Remember most people having thoughts of suicide don't want to kill themselves, they just don't feel like they want to be alive right now. You are NOT alone, there are many people who feel like this to varying degrees. I'm so glad you recognise your children's need to have a father in their lives. It's ok not to be strong all the time and I'm sure things can and will improve for you. Please make use of the support network that this forum offers!
