Re: (Suicidal rant but no plans) I hope I kill myself one day
Hi @bignosegirly0 , how are you doing? I wanted to check in here as it sounds like things might be feeling very overwhelming right now. You've done so well to speak about it here, and you deserve so much understanding and compassion around this.
You mentioned that you can't see a bright future, and it sounds like you're carrying a lot of hopelessness right now - would that be fair to say? The path ahead feels bleak or uncertain, and it's hard to know exactly what or who you can hold onto.
From what you've written here, I'm also getting the sense you can feel powerless sometimes - is that right? You said that the issues you're struggling with feel real, tangible, and 'out-there' struggles, such as society's beauty standards here in the UK, or the job market. And I can imagine that feeling overwhelming - trying to find and hold onto hope in the midst of these bigger systems or circumstances. I get the sense too that you feel terribly uncared for and disregarded by many of the people you interact with day-to-day, and that sounds so lonely right now.
Can I ask, are you considering trying to end your life at the moment? And how are you practically keeping safe?
I also wonder, what do you feel you might need to happen or shift or change in your life in order for the future to feel even 5% brighter?
We're here, we're listening, and we care.

Re: I’m having another one of those “oh god, I’m gonna be alone for the rest of my life” moments
Not to make this about me but I relate to this, @bignosegirly0 I just mean I get it and understand how you feel. I think you have said you've tried looking into relationships which we unfortunately don't have here but we do if you don't know have our support groups on Monday to Thursday evenings 8pm till 9 30pm, then daytime chats Sunday and 3pm till 4 30, 1 30 till 3pm on Fridays, this can be great for loneliness, we have a family like and extremely supportive on these chats vibe, we have general chats which is light hearted topics for example intrests like music, weather, hobbies and other light hearted stuff then we have support chat which you can talk about this sort of stuff loneliness etc, like here on boards you just have to follow the guidelines. Its on tonight if you want to come on, it certainly helps me with my loneliness. No obligation or anything but if you want come on at 8pm tonight you're completely welcome heres the link.

Re: So fucking annoying to try and find a free app to help with mental health
Heyya @bignosegirly0 I wonder if you've given Sorted: Mental Health a go? I'll pop some info about it here:
My Possible Self is also a good one like @Invisible_me said! I'll pop some info about that one here too:
Sorted: Mental Health (previously known as Feeling Good) is an app that has a range of audio programmes designed to increase your wellbeing and resilience to stress. The NHS approved app incorporates breathing, positive reappraisal and visualisation techniques to help you manage the physical symptoms of stress and anxiety. To find out more you can visit https://www.feelinggood.app/ or download the app from the Apple or Android app stores
My Possible Self is also a good one like @Invisible_me said! I'll pop some info about that one here too:
My Possible Self is a mental health app that helps you to take control of your thoughts, feelings and behaviour. This includes managing stress, anxiety and depression. It has been designed by professionals using CBT techniques that have been approved by the NHS. It is available for free from https://www.mypossibleself.com/ or from the Apple and Android app stores.
