Dear None-Done,
Thank you for sharing your struggle with us today.
We’re really sorry to hear you’re having such a difficult time, but we’re glad you could share this here & come here looking for support.
Hopefully you'll hear from the community soon, who may be able to offer you some understanding, and hopefully some ideas for coping.
We’re reaching out to you privately to offer some extra support. If you’re struggling with thoughts or feelings about suicide, please reach out directly either to the professionals who normally care for you (including your GP), or by giving ourselves (ph 1300 22 4636), the Sucide Call Back Service (ph 1300 659 467 ) or Lifeline (ph 13 11 14) a call. If you’re not able to do so, please know that we’re here, and in an emergency the number to call would be 000.
We also have a suicide safety planning app called 'Beyond Now'. Research has shown having a safety plan can be useful for reducing the intensity of suicidal thoughts and increasing people’s ability to cope with them, so please consider having a look at downloading and completing a plan. You can even complete this on the phone with a counsellor from Lifeline if you like.
Thanks again for your bravery and openness in sharing here.
Kind regards,
Sophie M
