Hi there,
Welcome to the Suicide and Self-Harm section of the Beyond Blue Forums. Life gets pretty hard sometimes, and many people here on the Forums have had times where they have thought about harming themselves or ending their life. This can be a deeply distressing experience, and this section is here to support members who have had these experiences.
This section is not a crisis support service. If you are in crisis or need immediate help, assistance is not available via these Forums. Please call:
This is a place to share where you are at, seek ideas for support and know that you are not alone.
We are here to create a safe environment for everyone. Please do not provide any details about any plans/ideas that you may have had to hurt yourself, and importantly, help us to understand if you are safe by letting us know in the post.
For some people this section might be difficult to read – if it is not helping how you feel, then please consider moving to another section.
This section, like the rest of the Forums, is closely monitored and all posts are reviewed by moderators before publication. Moderators will also ensure that anyone needing follow up will be provided with information about how to access further support.
If after a period of time you no longer wish others to engage in the discussion you have started, please use the 'Report Post' button and request the discussion be locked to prevent any further replies.
Thank you for being here, we're glad you're here. Treat yourself gently as you read through this section.
Beyond Blue
