You can talk to a professional if things are getting tough. Even speaking to a close friend will help. I have suffered mental health for over 30 years and still find it tough if things go wrong

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

AmbassadorLizzie when we loss loved ones some people are expecting to grieve in the same way with each bereavement, and are even more upset because they dont. this can be for many reasons, for example it could be the age of the loved one, how close you were to a certain person, how well they physically or emotionally knew a loved one. or lastly some of us may never have met a loved one for many reasons. or if physical events had taken place ,and a loved one could not be viewed by family and friends
this happened me was because, my son and i parted with bad blood between us, and when his baby daughter was born , and died age 50 minutes i was banned from attending her service or internment, her name was Rebecca Jade, but i called her Becky, and i bought her a small headstone and i go to her grave at least once a month with fresh flowers. i will always love my grandaughter, but possibly not as much as my Angel wife or son, who took his own life.?

Living with anxiety and other mental illnesses
Suicidal thoughts, not coping, how to get treatment without carrying out my plans?

Today, 10 September, is World Suicide Prevention Day - a day that encourages us to talk openly about suicide, reduce stigma, and remind people that they don't have to face difficult moments alone.
Starting a conversation about suicide can feel difficult, but sometimes a simple question, a listening ear, or knowing that someone understands can make a meaningful difference.
Here at Carenity, we know that living with a health condition can sometimes bring difficult emotions, uncertainty, loneliness or moments when things feel particularly overwhelming. This forum is a safe space to share experiences, thoughts and sources of support that may help others in the community.
π¬ We'd love to hear from you:

You don't have to share anything you're not comfortable sharing. You can also simply read, leave a message of support, or share something that has helped you.
Most importantly, let's keep this conversation compassionate and respectful. Sometimes, knowing that someone is listening can be powerful. π
If you're currently thinking about suicide or feel that you may be in immediate danger, please seek urgent help from your local emergency service or a crisis support service. In the UK, you can call Samaritans on 116 123, free, day or night.
Thank you for helping make Carenity a community where people can feel heard, supported and less alone.
What would you say to someone who is having a really difficult day and needs a little hope? πΌ
