Can't go on

LegacyUser

My girlfriend dumped me last week. One week she says she loves me now she won't even talk to me and says she hates me. I tried texting her it made things worse. I can't go on at this stage, I tried calling samaritians six times but just keep hanging up. I'm sacred I'll do something stupid. Is there a cheap or a free counsellor in Dublin. I'm despairate at this stage. Can anyone help me, I can't even explain how bad this feels.

Hey BIG HUG to you, please don't do anything silly. I know you're in a world of pain right now but it will get better, hearts mend you know? If you don't want to go to the samaritans and you can't afford a counceller I would go and find a priest. I know that sounds mad but they will listen and at the moment that sounds like what you need. They won't charge you and if you don't like one move onto the next, you will find a good one eventually, while I'm atheist myself and think all religion is a load of w*nk, (sorry to anyone I've offended but I really want to be clear), I have met lots of really intelligent and kind priests who will talk to you if you ask them to. I know that's a bit of a mad suggestion but I they're good if you're at a really really low point, they can help get you over the bump and then you can start addressing your problems when you've a clearer head.

BIG BIG HUG to you,
Best of luck.

Call Samaritans again, they'll point you to a counselor, or pop into your GP. Not sure if your religious, if you are, your local priest will have some training in dealing with this and probably some contacts with counselors.

No one knows how you feel, so no one will knocj on your door to help you, but lots of people can be there for you if you take the first step, it's a small but difficult step, don't hang up the phone next time please!

I've had bad times OP, I've felt like you are feeling now. All I can say is, what you are suggesting is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, believe me when I say this, it is never ever as bad as you think, there will always be something better for you in the future and getting through this now will make you a stronger person

I wish you the very best

Good advice so far. You need to get help if this is getting on top of you. Your GP should be able to help with counselors. If you're in college there are services available. Check out the stickies at the top of the page for more info and numbers you could try.
