Hey Chris,

Don't ever think you're a burden to us here.  We all understand what it's like to feel so deep in that black hole.  

I am glad you came on here and we could help.  When I read that you had called suicide call back I was so happy. I was telling my family about you.  I was worried but I am so glad that you made that important first step.

Take your time and believe in yourself that you can do this. And you will get through it.

Take care and let us know how you go,.

dear Chris, I am pleased that you have posted here and you have not burdened us at all, that's what this site is all about, to those who are in need of support and encouragement, because we have been through this ourselves.

I didn't have the fortune of owning a pc when I was absolutely so bad myself with no one to communicate with, except my psychologist, but then was told to buy one and that's when I started to be on this site, 8 years ago, maybe I could have overcome this debilitating illness much earlier.

We know exactly how you are feeling, but now you have gained many great friends.

What we and you have to do now is to firstly address your sleeping routine, because if you can't sleep then this magnifies your depression, so are you able to ring your pharmacist and see whether they can suggest any sleeping tablets which you can buy over the counter, just saying.

It doesn't matter one bit of what you want to say here, what does matter is that you have trust with us all, and by hell and by crook, that's what you have. Geoff.

Chris,

I have just read your latest post.  Why?  We are here for you, we understand what you're going through.  Please, keep chatting with us.  You should be proud of yourself for making that first step yesterday in contacting someone who can help you.

It definitely wasn't a mistake, don't think like that.  You are a strong person, because you came on here; and that alone is a huge effort.

I hope you can keep writing to you.  We are here for you.

There are so many people on here that care for you and want to help.

Hi Chris, I hope you're still on the forums, even if you don't feel up to posting, you may be reading this. Sometimes life is simply the "art of hanging in there" as I used to tell myself. That's all you need to do right now, hang in there, and keep doing what the Suicide CallBack folks advise you to do. You will do this, you will get through it. And you have all of us here to help you. 

Get plenty of rest, too, all this stuff is incredibly exhausting. Take your vitamins, eat healthy and sit in the sunshine if you can - Vitamin D from the sun is a natural antidepressant. Every little bit helps, they all add up to make a difference. hamishandme xxx

Hi Chris

As Hamishandme said, "I hope you're still on the forums" and that you're in just a slightly, ever so slightly better place.  One little step at a time;   maybe you're not even up to standing at the moment, so perhaps one little crawly kind of movement at a time.

You're in so many of our thoughts Chris and we ALL want you back on this forum and posting again.  You are super important to all of us.  Please please please make another call to those numbers if you feel the need.

Hi Chris listen i will share my story with you before you do leave this forum. I committed suicide 3 yrs ago and survived it so i hit rock bottom and i was at the lowest point of my life. I hated everyone myself i didnt trust nobody and i thought the whole world was against me exactly how you are feeling now. 3 yrs on and i got lots of help from gps psychs therapy medication ect and im here to tell my story . I would like to help yourself and others that are in this position i have walked in your shoes. And i feel you do want to get better please get the help and put your lifeback together you sound like an intelligent guy. Look hope i could help you in some way to see the light but honestly with hard work determination you will get there its just the depression consuming you if you can get that under control you can go back to normality. Goodluck and take care

Hi Chris

That was all that was needed.   Just a quick one to say, "Hi".  We know you're still in a bad place, and if you feel you want to expand on things, PLEASE do so.  We'll listen, we'll read and we'll support.

Great to hear back from you,

Neil

Hi Neil and Jo,

Things are still not gd. 

If it makes you all feel better, somoene that i have been txting with has called the police and they hav left a msg on my mobile. I tried to call back but there not answering as it is only a one man station. It isn't the closest station in relation to my home.

At least their heart is in the right place.

Chris
