If you tell, then you get help.




Why not start with your GP?

Then they can determine what your problems are and whether they can treat you or if you need to be referred onto a specialist.


Or, if it's really bad right now, A&E and The Samaritans.

What happens if you speak up? If it's to your GP then you should be offered help and support and that should be completely confidential, so nothing should happen next.

If you are close to giving in you should talk to someone as soon as possible, regardless of the consequences. Because there may not be any, other than being able to see your life through a different lens.

What are you afraid of happening?

What do you mean you have depression?
Have you been to the doctors?

There are masses of information on google/forums, etc what do you need to know?

I'm reading between the lines here, so forgive me if I'm wrong.

If this is about what I'm thinking, you should call this number:

08457 90 90 90

It's the Samaritans.

There is NO shame in calling, none. They will be able to answer whatever question you have about the "practicalities" of telling someone "official". It's all confidential, so no risk at all, nothing to lose. I wish you all the very best.

I can't say I'm qualified to answer but didn't want to read and run. I think they try and talk to you about how you got to feeling like that and the reasons behind it and look at ways to help you. You said pain, do you mean a physical illness? Is it something that won't get better or do you mean it another way?
I'm not saying either way deserves more help or attention however there are special support groups that you may be able to access that are more capable of supporting you with this

it depends hun on what you mean by 'official'.
for example.....I am a Reiki Practitioner, and if a client informed me they were going to commit suicide, I would HAVE to inform thier GP or next of kin. (that is information I record on first visit).
My code of practice states that I must only break confidentiality IF the client intends to harm themself or another person.
I think you find that this applies in most situations.
Why are you asking? if you dont want to reply on forum PM me.

are you worried that you will be sectioned and taken off to hospital? because that doesnt happen these days! you may be offered pills and or counselling. Your 'official' should talk to you and ascertain the kind of help you need. Nothing will be done against your will.

When you say pain what do you mean physical or emotional, If you go to a doctor they will help you with physical pain and if its emotional then you need someone to talk to or talk at.

I never post but felt I had to in this case. I have been in the same situation I think you are talking about. You must speak to someone. If you have got as far as how, you MUST speak to someone now. That's serious.

I acted on my 'impulses' and suffered horrific injuries as a result, which I feel terribly embarrassed and ashamed about now. Far more emabarrassed then if I had dealt with "it" in the first place and admit I wasn't coping.

I was in a terrible place just a few weeks ago after a series of setbacks. Couldn't see a future at all. I feel fine now. Strangely I found searching for suicide survivors forums really helped me put things into perspective. I was looking for resources on trying to move on afterwards.

Whilst someone who has never felt this way and had a black cloud, can't fully understand. But talking does help, even if it's to clear some room in your head. I told my dad and had a few days at his house so I wasn't so lonely. Right as rain now. Excitedly filling in a job app!

Don't worry about NHS resources. My repairs have cost about £1/4 million.
