I'm not meaning to be so negative. But anything related with Dorset has just been a reminder that it's not my life any more. And the mental health team here I've seen on and off for over 10 years and have found them nothing but useless.

I can understand your reservations and how you feel about Dorset.

I think you have been so strong to cope with all that you have and now you owe it to yourself to make the call. Hopefully you might get someone different, who you can work with.

Dont worry about being negative, you are very depressed.

At the moment, what has happened with your ex is still very raw and would make anyone depressed. Its going to hurt alot.

Also, being as depressed as you are, very possibly clinically, you are going to look at all negative events and focus upon them. You will be seeing close doors and dead end roads. To you, there seems to be no future in your world. It seems like everything is over and lost, and there is only loss, and nothing to be gained.

I really do comprehend this. I've watched my world unravel. Please do hold on, because you will be able to get through this, and once again doors will be open, and you will be able to see positive events for your future. Your current perceptions are being formed in the depressed mind and all seems lost, but I promise you, if you hold on you will be able to realise a future for yourself.

I'm glad you are going to make the call, I think you should try to get the help even if it isn't as good as what you need.

Love Steve X

Thanks guys  &*( To be honest the only reason I'm still here is because my mum's off work and I can't do anything while she's in the house. Otherwise tomorrow was going to be the day. I just can't speak to anyone, my friends are lovely but so far away and when I see them it's to have fun so I don't really want to talk about this. I keep reading about depression etc and how important it is to have support from people who care, but all my people are so far away. I can't just pop round if I need to talk or be hugged. Besides my mum and the man at the job centre I haven't spoken an actual word to another person since last Wednesday and that was my ex when I left his and that wasn't a fun conversation. I haven't replied to a text since this Tuesday night. I'd be happier if mum was at work so I could feel what I feel and act like I need to. The fake smiling and keeping the tears in until she's gone to bed is such hard work. I just want someone to hold me and tell me I'll be ok.

Angelina,

I know exactly how I was feeling. My ex left me, I lost my freinds and respect, and my career was going down the pan. I had to move back home with my parents, away from the place where I had started my new life, were things had been good. I ended up extremly depressed, I would go days without speaking to anyone, I spent much of my time in bed. Sometimes I'd drink whiskey, lots of it, and just lie in my bed getting extremely drunk. I was very suicidal, and spent much time thinking about suicide. I would read stories about others with depression and I felt different. I felt worse I had nothing, nobody, and I had lost evering thing. My life seemed like a string of failures and loss.

Without a doubt, it was the most painful and mentally excruciating time of my life. What I can say for sure, is that I am glad that I didn't kill myself, I'm glad that I didn't do any of the things I was planning to do when I wanted to end my life.

Things may seem so impossible to you right now. You have lost all hope and you feel as though everything you had is gone. You cannot see any future. I do promise you that your current perceptions can change, as unlikely as it may seem to you right now. With time you can get throught his awful ordeal.

The plan for Monday shoud be to ring the health team and stress that it is very important that you need to be seen sooner rather than later.

Please hold on. Things are still very raw at the moment, but things will heal for you, the pain will decrease and you do have a future. Suicide is a permanant solution to a temporary problem. You do have ways forward that doesn't involve suicide.

So I called the mental health team, I have a crisis appointment tomorrow.

I also decided that I should try and reach out to my friends again. Well that was a big mistake. One friend called me a coward for being suicidal, that life is tough and I should change things and she'll never forgive me if I do anything. The other said there was nothing he could do as I've already made my decision. I know people don't know what to say, but this was just me saying how bad I felt, that I felt like giving up. It made me feel more alone and I've ended up not speaking to them again because I can't take being insulted and given up on.

Hope your appointment goes OK tomorrow. It's tough when our friends don't understand. I have only kept in touch with very few of my friends, and only the ones that understand what I'm going through

So glad you have an appointment.  Hope it goes ok for you.

Its very hard on us when our friends do not understand the feelings and emotions we have.

The two people who I thought loved me more than anyone else have insulted me when I've told them how I feel. One kicked me out of the county and then called me selfish for saying I was suicidal. My best friend has literally text me today over and over calling me a coward. One text was just that word and nothing else. I'm supposed to be job hunting, my JSA means I have to do a certain amount each week but every time I try to apply for jobs I just cry. If I don't apply for jobs I'll be existing in this place until it gets too much to cope. I feel like I've tried for so long and instead of getting better everything is getting worse every time I try to do something.

It is good you have an appointment.

Your friends responses are extreme and also unfair. You are clearly not a coward. They care for you and (especially the girl who is calling you a coward)  are responding in an extreme way in an attempt to stop you comiting suicide.

They either lack intelligence, life experience, or both. Some one who had brains, or at least life experience, would know how to respond properly. Unfortunatly these two people do not, but it definatly doesn't mean that they dont care and it doesn't mean that you are a coward.

It is extreamly difficult when you feel as though your life is collapsing around you. Please remeber that is awful feeling and situation is not permenant. You can get through this, an hour at a time, and then a day at a time, until you are not struggling as much.

Please hold on.

You are most certainly not a coward Angelina, you took a massive step in contacting the mental health team and you should be very proud of yourself for that &*( I hope it all goes well tomorrow, will be thinking of you xxx

Many people have no idea how to deal with those of us that have mental illness Angelina and this often means they say things they think will help but have the opposite effect :(

I hope your appointment goes well

I had my appointment, wasn't greatly useful but I'm seeing them again Monday and they're actually going to register me so I can see someone when I need to. Managed to spend a few hours in my garden today and got slightly sunburnt. Bit of a surprise in March but then I haven't really seen the outside much recently! My friend and I spoke and are better now, Hopefully I'll visit Dorset next weekend and will just have to survive being at the same pub with the same friends as my ex. I don't want to make it awkward for mutual friends but I've realised that I can't just avoid them because I know he'll be there too. If I do ever manage to move back then it'll happen quite often. I'm sure I can chat to him while swearing very loudly in my head  !£$
