The Samaritans

I don’t normally reply on your threads as so many offer support and better advice, but I hear you.
You must continue to talk on here.
You probably don’t know but you are helping others even in your darkest times.
You have value and are an important part of this community.


Keep positing, keep talking and please take my best wishes and get well soon.

I gave up after 5 mins on hold

I lied on the kitchen flour and cried instead

I’m sorry you couldn’t get the help you wanted straight away set. Hope you are okay this morning, stick around, I like your posts about your adventures when you post them

I know it’s hard to be on hold in your time of need. You won’t be thinking about the bigger picture and wouldn’t expect you too neither.

Samaritans are a charity and it just goes to show if they have to put people on hold how bad we have fallen as a society. Mental health should be a priority in this country, and if Samaritans are overwhelmed then we can assume it isn’t.
 
I have struggled before, its not a competition i understand but just sharing my thoughts here. Last night with the bouncing rain, they were the nights that really helped me as just laying, listening to the rain on the window, hearing cars go through puddles outside, that noise helped fill the void that otherwise would sometimes be filled with dark thoughts. Hope you got your lift and can look forward to tonight's Boro friendly with Braga. Stay active on here, people do care.
 
Morning aet...just checking in. Crying ain't a bad thing, you blokes seem to find it a sign of weakness but I think it's actually a sign of strength, that you're in touch with your emotions and are willing to show when you need help...plus it can be a release too. Anyhow did you make your lift this morning?? X
 
mate, I've been on hold with them for 45 minutes before, but it was totally worth staying on the line, they saved my life. They are a charity and hard to remember than when you don't have a clear thought.

Or if you feel you are at risk to yourself, phone 999 or 111 f0ck, don't be afraid to use those either!

Call 999 or go to A&E now if:​

  • someone's life is at risk – for example, they have seriously injured themselves or taken an overdose
  • you do not feel you can keep yourself or someone else safe
A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a physical one. You will not be wasting anyone's time.
 
I've said it before aet- you are a brave man and truly inspirational to people who suffer with MH. The Samaritans saved my life many years ago. They are well worth hanging on for. Please keep posting otherwise I shall only worry about you.
 
probably just at work :)

Mr AET, you know my back story and so does everyone else who reads our posts. I was all set to cut a few weeks ago, then I talked and went to my AMC group, life is 100% worth living. Never ever give up. I am sure I posted this before but I will post it again

It isn't just the people around you who are effected but it the people you will never meet in the future, who are as well, as you never get to meet them and make a difference to their lives. I was told that by a wise person a few months ago and that didn't even cross my mind till then.
 
Hi.

This is the pandemic isn’t it. It’s fu(&ed us all over hasn’t it. And this is what we’ve got. A nation of miserable people. And mental health services and charities overloaded that can’t cope.

Told my story to two people today, they both told me they’ve got my back. I don’t deserve any of this but…..
