Feeling really down and struggling

Gray_13 · ‎27-11-2016

Hi guys,

I am new to Beyond Blue and to completely honest it has taken me a long time to build up the courage to reach out for advice and help. I am feeling very down and have been having suicidal thoughts over the last month. To give a bit of a background, I am a 28 year old male, I was diagnosed with depression as a teenager and spent a few years on anti-depressants which helped me out a lot. As I got older I got quite a bit better but that has all changed recently.

I have found that as a male it is really hard to tell people how I am feeling. I feel very alone, and do not entirely trust my friends or the people around me. I feel like they are laughing at me or talking about me behind my back. I know this sounds a bit pathetic but it is how I am feeling and I really needed to get it off my chest. It is really hurting me feeling this way and every single day I start feeling even more down and worthless.

i really dont know where to go or who to turn to for help. As I am writing this I am nearly in tears. If anyone on here has ideas about how I can overcome these feelings I would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks,

Gray

Hi BC68 and Gray,

Hope you are both doing okay today.

Have you checked out the Social Zone at all? There are some easy to connect with threads there where you can catch up with people in a different manner.

Cheers for now from Mrs. Dools

Hi Gray, suicidal thoughts are nothing new to me, and haven't been for a few years now, but I am still here, so what I say might be of interest. Have you noticed how most of your previous replies seem to say this site is the sole answer? Well as I am sure you know, a website won't stop you, you need an actual reason. For me it was my daughter, I simply could not do that to her, and for you, you need to find your reason, I am sure if you look hard enough it will appear. Mate, please look, and I think you will find your own reason not to do it.
