My town

Plenty places around where mental health concerned either via the phone of some drop in places.

I have noticed your status hardly the reason to be suicidal.

If the problem is deeper than consult a doctor of even a close family of friend.

There's lots of websites available

Mentalhealthireland.ie

Yourmentalhealth.ie

Grow.ie (voluntary support group for all mental health problems)

Aware.ie (support group for depression)

Pietahouse.ie

Most of the voluntary services have contact lines and will be available on their websites but the Samaritans have launched a free helpline and the number is 116123

If you're not attached to a mental health clinic the best advice is to contact your GP, should you feel you need further support they can refer you on.

If you are attached to a mental health clinic you could contact your local admission unit to speak with nursing staff and contact your mental health clinic tomorrow morning for an appointment if you feel you need this

Hope this helps a bit!

Oh I meant to add to that as well that even if you've never attended mental health services you can contact your local admission unit, some services you have to present to a&e first so your best bet in to contact them first by phone. All the contacts should be in this link

That's devastating news Tina I'm so gutted to hear that. I work with self harmers of all ages so I know that this topic is a raw one....I'd also hate for this to have been an insincere start that opened wounds for those who read it...

As someone who asked for help when i split up wit my kids and have experienced the system i strongly advise you seek the counselling services posted above and if at all possible stay away from the state mental health system and the endless pill they push on you.and i mean push

i know an awful lot of cases need medication and it helps improve their lives dramatically.even give them their lives back but alot just need someone to talk to and you dont get it,just more pills.at least thats how it was 10 years ago

the link between these state phyciatrists and drug companies is an expose waiting to happen.a multi billion industry with it victims left like zombies,lives destroyed

take medication if you need it but think of it as short term.always better to talk

have to say the system in certain parts of the country has improved, as someone that was through the system 2 years ago after having a break down, yes the consultants are still trying to push the tablet but its the people that work under them are the hero's in my eyes as they are the people that sit down and listen to u and they are there 24hrs a day, its just a matter of trying to get into the system . to the poster of this topic the most important thing is to talk to people caus I firmly believe if u can find one person that u can talk to and that understands u and put a smile on ur face let it be male or female ur on a winner. u can send a mail if u want a chat

wouldnt look at it that people are a fantastic bunch, think everyone knows someone who suffer from depression and were just not afraid to talk about it . I think people who suffer should go into school and give advice, and if students espically males listen to real life stories maybe they would under stand that they are still normal if the suffer from it.

"Sometimes finding someone who you can talk to does help but can be difficult to find the right person. Speaking from personal experience here"

But when you do it's an amazing feeling

feeling. I've been fighting depression for years and struggled to find a good counsellor, and when I did... It was like a light going on. We just gelled and it worked. Not going to say she cured me, but she made things much better and I love her for that.

To those suffering in silence, please don't.

There is someone, always someone, out there who cares about you and will listen.

Like I said to a friend recently it's patronising to say "you'll be ok" because when you're in that place it feels like nothing can ever be ok ever again.

But, this place is temporary...you'll move on.

And despite anything you may feel or think, you're worth it and you're loved

Sorry for the rambling post x

As a nurse in the mental health service I do agree with you on some level but I think some of what you've said is unfair as things have changed in most areas. Don't get me wrong the service is absolutely nowhere near perfect but there are a lot of people that do a huge amount of work directly with service users. There are home care teams, day hospitals within most services which tend to be nurse led which involves listening and helping people learn coping skills and strategies for life and some where possible can come off medication. I agree that the voluntary organisations and counselling services do some amazing work and I always refer people onto them. From listening to the reports of service users support groups such as AWARE have been hugely beneficial to them as they provide peer support but also as a social outlet.
