Lambchop. Yes - I have felt that way - and yes I have tried. But you know what - I am glad I never made it. PM me if you need to chat. I'll give you my phone number if nec and will be here all night for you if you need it. Because it does help to talk. And no I won't patronise. Big hugs to you!!!!!!

And don't apologise - you have nothing to apologise for!
Hi lambchop...... things cant be that bad.... look on the bright side, no matter what happens out there you always have friends to talk to here.... it will work out what ever it is.....
Talk to your friends, talk to your family, talk to your doctor, talk to anyone who'll listen but please talk to someone - face to face, not online.
H.x
i havnt got any true real friends and as for family...hell will freeze offer before i talk to anyone there
then your doctor, a councellor, the samaritans but please talk to someone, this is far too impersonal a place.

Lambchop, we have met briefly, once. Do not make me drive to Manchester at this hour of night.
Get your butt into my pm box, anyone's pm box, hell, you can even have my phone number :shock:
many of us have been there luv - its late, you've had stuff going round in your head for hours, and none of it will make any sense or unravel so you can see any light through the grey fog or a solution to the problem.
If you're drinking, pour it away, right now, make a note of the number Cocoa has given you and please, take one of us up on the offer of a listening ear.
and I'm not kidding about driving over there either.
Thank you all. Hope things may be better soon
i'm so tired but cant sleep. thank you all for your support. possibly the best mates anyone could want
You get off to bed Lampchop. And remember - we are all there for you. Loads of people here care about you.
:therethere: :therethere:
BIG HUGS

Lammy hun, there's lots of good advice already given so not much more I can say. except that talking to someone is always the best way to deal with this. It might not seem ideal talking over the phone to someone you don't know like the Samaritans but sometimes just being able to air your concerns with someone can help you get things into perspective and don't forget these people are trained to point you in the right direction.
I hope you wake up feeling better, even a little is a start and you know our pm boxes are always open.
Take care hunni :therethere:
i know we have never met lambchop but my thoughts are with you
most of us feel along those lines from time to time for one reason or another, whats the point? nobody will miss me? why do i bother?
well as you can see from this thread people do care about you & would miss you as would many others, some very good advice has been given here so please get down to your doc & have a chat
as darkfire said if you are drinking pour it away it will make everything a lot worse (i know from a personal battle im having!) it stops you from sleeping & thinking rationally!
i know im at the other end of the country but if there is anything i can do just let me know!
i have came dangerously close to taking that wrong, and final decision, even to this day, i still have "what if i wasnt here" thoughts
but more to the point, what if i was here?
with each day it gets better
with each day, there is more that i want
with each day im finding that im not the person i have hated for so long
with each day, i find that i have better friends than what i have realised, even if i dont take advantage of their friendship
you have had some offers of an ear to bend from some excellent people, some of whom i have met, and if they seem great on a forum, i can tell you, it doesnt even compare to how they are in the flesh
and if anyone makes the point that i dont take advantage of my friends, i cant give you an answer that would keep you quiet ;)

lambchop,
i know it all too well, and have suffered from occasionally suicidal depression most of my life. only 2 years ago i came as close to throwing in the towel as i ever want to get, and have the scars to show for it, but you know what? things change. things get better. at one point, the only thing that kept me going was this site, and the people on it. use it. my life is immeasurably better than it was, though a long way from perfect, but if i'd thrown in the towel i would never have had that chance?
if you're feeling so down that you think you might be a danger to yourself, you MUST talk to someone. talk to your doctor, a counsellor, friends, samaritans, anyone that will listen to you while you unload. if you're not comfortable talking face to face or over the phone, just google "depression forums" and you'll find any number of sites where you can do exactly that, populated with people who know what you're going through, and will go all out to help.
if you don't talk to other people, what happens is you end up talking to yourself, and those conversations tend to lead you still further into that little dark place that seems to only have one exit! DON'T GO THERE!
believe me, no matter how hopeless or bleak things seem now, you WILL in time come out the other side, and you'll thank god you did! often, the night is darkest just before the dawn.
best wishes,

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a
$ bill. In the room of 200,he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20
to one of you but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. Well, he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still
wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. My friends, we have all learned a very valuable matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not
decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, We are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know,but by WHOM WE ARE. You are special - Don't EVER forget it."
I think that just about sums it up Lamby!!

I really want to say a big trhank you to you all,I appreciate the words of encouragment and well wishes. I have been to see the doctor today and we are coming up with a plan of action. I have used the sites I have been given and its nice to know that i'm not alone and that I'm not the only one who feels like this.
I cannot express my gratitude enough
