This is a space to chat or vent about things which you think may be more triggering for the Community but still want to get off your chest.

Every Monday morning we will close the thread and start a new one so we have a fresh one each week. If you'd like to check out this week's venting thread that isn't triggering, click here.

    Hi @Jack25, thank you for sharing. Why are 111 asking you to keep calling back, and what makes you not want to call? We're here to support you.

    Hi @Jack25 , thank you for sharing this. It sounds like you're experiencing an extremely difficult time right now and coping with some very distressing thoughts and feelings. Can I ask if you're feeling able to keep yourself physically safe?

    It's really positive you're trying to contact 111 for support, though sounds so hard that they're asking you to call them back. I can hear the urgency of your feelings.

    Please know that SHOUT is here for you 24/7, as well as Samaritans and Papyrus. Would you feel able to contact either of them for some 1:1 support?

    You mentioned causing pain to others and it sounds like you might be carrying some really heavy guilt right now. I wonder if it would feel helpful to chat through?

    @Jack25 , that sounds extremely hard, and so isolating having to carry this on your own right now. I wonder if anything might have triggered these feelings today?

    Is anyone else at home with you currently?
  • Jack25Jack25 Posts: 109 The Mix Convert
    I’m not doing ok my parents are home they are supportive but are pretty fed up due to worry I imagine. I just feel so hopeless and broken I can’t see a way forward or things ever improving and it’s just lead to me feeling defeated, that feeling is triggered by noticing one of the lingering isssues I’ve had since I tried and stopped anti depressants. I messaged my therapist to try and see her sooner I’m so desperate I’ve managed to drink one cup of water and that’s it. I just don’t think there’s a point to this. Idk how my body has any water to keep crying. I’m going to try eat later.

    Thank you for sharing this @Jack25 , that sounds so overwhelming, and frightening too maybe to be feeling that level of hopelessness and to be really, really struggling to see anyway forward. I hear how it's taking immense energy to get through the day right now. It's positive to hear you have your parents physically with you. And that also sounds like a really significant step to have messaged your therapist. I hope they get back to you soon, and can hear just how difficult things are right now. Eating something later sounds like a really positive way to care for yourself and to give your body fuel, even if just a little. Is there anything else you can think of that might feel comforting for you over this next hour? E.g. maybe a comfort show or a movie you could have on in the background, or wrapping a warm blanket around yourself? We're here and we're listening, and you're doing so well to express this
