sorry you are feeling this way.
make a list of all the positives in your life, all the things that make you smile.... all the great memories.
get up in the morning and go for a good walk, take exercise... it will make a huge difference.
speak to your GP, employee counselling or the samaritans.
all the best to you |

I try to remember that someone is always worse off than me...Take a look at the residents in a local hospice, children's hospital etc.. It's very sobering. I know life sometimes seems hopeless but a glass half full is so much more positive than a glass half empty , easy to say,I know, but life is worth celebrating, start with the little things that make u smile x |

Frequently.. but you get to the doc and get meds to sort you out.. Maybe get out running or on yer bike ..exercise and fresh air !
not really very appropriate on this day ... national suicide day, !!   |

"I am on the verge of losing the plot. I've had enough of life.
Anyone else ever feel like this. I can't be bothered any more."
You have to look on the bright side, its shit at times but there is always another side when you come through it.
As for the plot well build a house on it  |

think thats what national suicide prevention day is about really, encouraging people to call out for help....even strangers on a swinging site.
Some people find it hard to speak to people they know, even hard to speak o their Dr's
like _iew said if you cannot speak to your friends/family/doctor the ring the samaritans, they are trained to listen and help |

Call someone. Find some company, you don't have to tell them why. Make the effort to keep busy even though it feels like it will kill you. It won't and it might allow the feeling to pass until you can get some help. Avoid alcohol and drugs.
Let us know that you are still here. |

Makes me sad to read this post OP, especially when I'm sitting here with a ticking time-bomb health wise.
I do think you need to see your GP and get them to help you with advice, meds and maybe referral on to a psychologist or counselor.
It's when you reach rock bottom and know you can't go down any further that you reach inside and find a spark of motivation to go out and get yourself some help to cope.
It's not easy but you will do it and the medical professionals will be there to help you. xxx |

If thet is how you feel, here is may be not the best place for you as you have already found.... guys on here need to be able to deal with rejection.... you are probably not in the best place to do this.
Make an appointment to see your GP and talk. Ask for details of groups which can help.
Arrange to meet up with old friends from school.
Find some hobbies and interests outside of the house which will get you interacting with people face to face.
Use goggle to find support groups/forums. |

i dont think a thread on a swingers site should be to blame if the OP is feeling like this tbh..... |

Equally then is it appropriate to post what OH has done .. cause concern and then have him ignore any message of support. on a swinging site. !
only trying to help.. alot of us feel that way and could help or advise. |

Posting a thread leading people to worry and then running off .. sorry its late my brain and fingers are tired .. apologies for not getting my words straight.
its a swinging site so there fore leaving people to worry ( me and others ) over night over someones mental health isnt appropriate . i have messaged him he has read and not replied ..here or privately.
my feeling is its a game.
he doesnt yet know forumites and the fact that people are concerned.]
it probably still deosnt read right but im tired so will jst wait a while and see if he bothers to accept the help that is being offered.

I am uneasy about threads like this.
None of us know the OP and any circumstances.
From his opening statement the word suicide was then mentioned by a poster and terms like 'let us know if you are with us in the morning'. I know the statements are all well meaning and in good faith, but its not a good idea to put words and feelings like this to a person you don't know, or have any idea of how it will be interpreted. You are projecting your own interpretation of what has been said. Who knows whether you are doing more harm than good, none of us because we are not really aware of the circumstances.
It sounds uncaring on my part, but it truly isn't. I know people are well meaning but caution needs to be applied because we can't know the consequences of anything we say on here and all the overwhelming sympathy might not actually be the right thing. |

You do you can ring the samitios there there for people want to talk and have rant with. They let you do all the adont put ther point of _iews.
If a family member think that you are really loosing it they can you sectioned they thin you are well enough to go home. You also walk straight in to some mental health units and tell them how you feel.
I will admit i didnt take your thread seriousy, there are some brilliant even online there is good sites to gon., add .
\But my best is to go yo your doctor an d poor you heart, if you think yu will not get the true feelings write down on a peice of paper and take it with you and he could one of afew things give, you somee medicztion, give you s nurse to come to visit you
Dont be scared the stigma of mental illness doesnt have the stigma attatched to it as before. But only you can make that call. HAve a good nights and think about |

You are not alone: I don't like these types of threads either and the "there, there poor you" type responses they illicit.
If the op is feeling down I personally don't think this site is the best place to be as rejection won't add to his wellbeing.
Seek professional help. |

Since reading this post early this morning, I've thought of nothing else, and the more I think about it the more angry I become!
I will stop there before I go on to a full blown screaming rant!!! |

Thanks for making that point..Samaritans are there to support, and predominantly to listen.
Well meant advice, like counting your blessings etc are largely irrelevant to those who are genuinely in the dark place that potential suicides occupy..
Empathic listening is the key..and like others on this thread I would ask the OP to consider making that call. |

Unfortunately, normal rational responses are often absent when dealing with persons in genuine need ..indeed, Samaritans have to deal with anger, hate, and abuse
...there is no way of knowing the emotional state of the OP, hence as others have said, perhaps this the wrong place.
Bless you though, for taking the trouble to care! |

aaaw it's so hard when this happens but just remember that it does happen to everyone at some time.
You can't be on top all the time unfortunately.
Just for a little while ... allow it to be ... don't feel bad because you feel that way, don't feel guilty because you don't think you have the right to feel that way ... just be in the moment, let it ride, and then start thinking about what you're gonna do next ... take a walk and make a plan (hug)

This is definitely not a good place for you to be OP. It takes confidence to be a single man on here.
Log off, get out of the house, and concentrate on building up your self-esteem and confidence. |

Just the pure selfishness of it all!
Personally I think someone who claims to be so unstable should have their profile removed for their own protection, better to have one rejection than one hundred if your feeling so vulnerable. |

OP
At various times in your life you are going to face challenges, massive highs and massive lows - that is part of what makes life so special.
You can't feel one without experiencing the other.
Sadly, some people find it hard to cope when things aren't going well and by no means are you on your own in this.
Some people are natural born worriers, who jumble their thoughts and concerns up until they become entangled to such a degree that you believe you have to resolve them all at once and that all are intertwined and linked.
That is seldom the case and you do need to prioritise what your worries are, how you are going to address them and in what way so that it best affects the other worries you have.
Some people try to do this alone - of those, some succeed through self will, determination and good choices.
Others don't.
Some people have excellent support from family and friends and feel open to discuss their worries with those people.
Shared experiences are learning from others experience are what forms part of our make up and sculpts who we are now and who we are likely to be in the future.
Other people cannot cope (or find it hard to cope) with life without professional help and in some cases medication.
Whilst the stigma relating to those things has undoubtedly diminished over the last decade, I do feel that resorting to professional help and medication should be a last resort option and that, if anything, counselling / couching is the way to go.
If you already work for the NHS, I should imagine schemes exist in your workplace where you can seek such help - so why not look at those options ?
Popping pills does not resolve the issues that people have, it merely stifles or disguises them, so learning to cope with your psyche will reap more longer term benefits than quick fix medication will.
In answer to your initial question though, yes, I have felt like that from time to time and more so when I was younger as I was less well equipped in knowing how to deal with it and how to channel it.
I am a natural born worrier but I am fortunate that I have the resolve and the family relationships and friendships in place to discuss very openly and candidly.
Through that I have found myself far more confident and able to open up with people than I ever thought possible when I was younger.
I am lucky and I recognise that.
Life is good. I am happy.
But curve balls will always be present to knock you off course - it is how you deal with them that is the important thing.
In a way, it is nice to see that you are comfortable enough to make a brave post like this in an open forum, especially when a good number of the contributors aren't renowned for their sympathy and comfort.
On the other hand, like your 'am i ugly ?' thread of a few days ago, I can't help but think that you may be using some of the responses to this thread to re-affirm your own self worth / self belief, or should I say, lack of it.
If you have genuine worries, if you can speak to family and friends, then do so.
If you can't then see a doctor or a support group who will be able to direct or focus your worries and potentially assist with them.
One thing is for sure though, ONLY YOU can turn a negative into a positive !
I wish you well x |

Mr Rose
People are waiting for you to respond .. think it would be polite to actually assure them you are fine and seeking help. Rather than sitting back and just waiting... for what .?
hope you are dealing with your health today. x

Hello all. Sorry about late reply. I didn't log off on my iPhone.
Thank you all for your concern and kind words. I really means a lot.
I am still alive and I wouldn't take my own life - nothing is that bad and that would do anything except hurt my lived ones.
Please don't be angry at my late reply!
As I said I am facing redundancy, both my parents are unwell, my dad has had a series of strokes. I have been working all the hours going and looking after them whilst my lazy brother sits on his bum!
Again,thank you all xx |
