Me too. Now in tears after reading your post. I'm on site because I've just posted a thread about my mum and I tried to keep emotion out of it and about how I am lucky if I get six hour sleep because I'm constantly worried and feel so sorry for them, I am also very angry with a lot of things and will do what I did a couple of years ago and stopped watching the news!
I get so down too with an ill husband... don't give up: Their are givers and nice people about. My parents both so ill and gave so much.
Don't feel isolated. I have only one genuine friend left who has been ill and she says I am the only person that's been constant through her illnesses. Forget the good-time-charlies. Please don't be alone - you are not. Love Katee
Miserable, you sound so lost.
Why are you talking of suicide? Are you caring for someone and finding it increasing hard to cope? If so, you came to the right place here on Talking Point.
Or is it something else that is bringing you down to that dark place? If so, then what Shedrech says is so right. Do call Samaritans on their Freephone number of 116 123.
We all need to offload/rant for so many reasons. Don't feel alone, share your thoughts.

Dear Miserable,
Please keep visiting Talking Point and let us know whether you are a carer or not. Before dad's diagnosis I used to get off to sleep very well but I would wake up in the small hours worrying. I am now much calmer after dad's diagnosis partly because I know I am doing my best for him.
Love and hugs

Hi Miserable,
I am sorry that things are so bad for you
Please get whatever help you can - practical and emotional -and know that you can always come here to offload your worries (((hugs)))

The good times don't last forever, so why should the bad times? Suicide is a permanent solution to what is hopefully a temporary problem. I do understand, I've been where you are now. Also my son has mental health problems. The above is what I used to say to him.
So glad you found this site Miserable.
You see you are not the only one to feel like that. It does not take your misery away but you know you are not alone and like others have said it will pass. Let us know how you are feeling now.

I understand how well meaning and sympathetic people are but please be aware of Talking Point`s recommendations for safety on line.

don't hun, I know I have felt like that this week too, and I'm still here. No seriously you need to try and get some help. That is easier said than done, I should know, but this week what between flying ants, B trying a sheath cathater and me just not getting a decent break I wanted to end it too.
Am so sorry you feel this way but I can certainly empathise. It's hard reaching out to friends sometimes because unless they have been through this, they have no idea of what it is like. I've sometimes driven home from the care home thinking the same way you have, it is certainly not easy. Someone once said to me - this too will pass - and I just shrugged it off as a trite saying, but to be honest, it has helped me slightly. I keep on saying, this too will pass, this too will pass, when I get those low days and unhelpful thoughts.
Do you have anyone to talk to at home? Sounds silly, but as there's only me at home, I talk to my 2 cats!
Take care of yourself, and remember, you are not alone
