    Hi wotzgoingon,

    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.

    Text about it - text HELLO to 50808 to speak to a Crisis Volunteer in a safe space via text. Service available 24/7.

    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.

    Was 60 in April and I know exactly what you mean. It really does come before you know it.

    I'm only mid 40s, anyway I remember 6th year and even 6th class very clearly and feel a strong connection with my old self. In some ways it feels like yesterday but in other ways it feels like ancient history.

    Given the age profile of boards it's going to be carnage in the next few years - cancer, heart disease, copd, dementia, take your pick. DEATH AWAITS.
