    Hi unknown93,
    Please know that you do not have to deal with this on your own.

    We encourage people experiencing difficulties to talk to someone they trust and, if appropriate, to go to their GP. If you need help urgently and outside of GP hours, please go to your nearest A&E department.

    Here at Boards.ie our moderators are not trained to support people experiencing difficulties. There are other organisations better positioned to provide specialised support. These organisations are listed below. We hope that you will follow these up so that you can get the help and support you need.

    If you need immediate help:
    Aware’s Support Line is open 7 days per week, 10am-10pm on 1800 804 848

    The Samaritan’s phone line is open 24/7 on 116 123

    Pieta offer one-to-one, face-to-face support. Click 'Contact us' to find the phone number and opening hours of your nearest branch on their site or email mary@pieta.ie for advice on getting an appointment.

    If you need non-urgent help:
    Aware have a support email service at supportmail@aware.ie

    There are some other useful services that you can use also listed here.

    Get on a dual diagnosis program where they will deal with the alcohol and drug abuse as well as the suicidal ideation etc. GP is the starting point, or you can self-refer.

    By the way, there's no such thing as a hopeless case or a lost cause. I was sexually abused since the age of 3 and ended up a chronic alcoholic with severe mental health issues. I was homeless and lost custody of my son. I can't tell you how many times I've attempted suicide.

    After extensive treatment, I'm now sober and stable and part of my five-year-old son's life. And I'm happy and content and at peace. I've rarely encountered anyone as self-destructive as me - if I can get meaningful recovery, it's possible for pretty much anyone.

    Please get help.

    If you read nothing else U93, please read this. You're literally half my age, and I know it doesn't feel like that now, but you have so much ahead of you.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    If this is a serious post there is help out there.
    Call 116123. They will help you. If it's not a serious post don't make jokes about a mental ilness and if that's the case you need to take a good long hard look at yourself.

    i bring nothing to the table. only trouble. and putting such a heavy weight on the shoulders of the people who mean the most to me.

    i havent seen any of my family in months. and the thing is they are all alot happier with me away. thats not saying they dont miss me cause i know they do. But i cant be there. its unsafe for them and for me.

    Your family love you to the ends of the earth, they are not happier with you not being around. They likely worry about you constantly and are unsure how to deal with it and approach you.
    You need to go to your GP tomorrow or your nearest A&E right now and move on from there.
