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.

    Because my overdose yesterday was not an intentional act of attempted suicide, but rather to simply drown out the pain of everything, hospital mental health services did not feel intervention is needed, due to said lack of intent. What fuckers.

    @Nathan im so sorry that happened, whether there was intent or not an overdose should have had some form of intervention in place. Like you said it was to drown out the pain then they should look at what support they could offer to help manage the pain and what’s causing it, instead of just brushing it aside because there was no Intent. It just shows how bad our NHS can be.
    I do hope you can get the support you need.

    Hey Nathan,

    Thank you for sharing this, you did the right thing by seeking medical help. I am really sorry to hear you didn't get the support you hoped for. Would it be worth contacting your GP to see if they can offer any support?

    I know you are already aware of different services available but just as a reminder Samaritans (116123) are their to talk when things feel like too much.

    do you need medical attention?

    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    Maybe some hexomedine but not any kind of medical attention. I'm safe.
