I have been feeling depressed for a few months now. I keep having unwanted thoughts of suicide. I do not think I would ever kill myself or hurt myself. But my emotional pain keeps making me feel like I want to die, but I keep telling myself no I do not want to. This has consumed every single thought of mine for at least four days now. Are these thoughts dangerous? How do you make these thoughts go away. I just want to feel better not die. Any thoughts/comments would be useful. Thank you.

    Hi e74968

    We note from a recent post which you have made to our forum that you may be experiencing thoughts around self-harm. If we have misinterpreted your comments then we apologies for contacting you directly. But if you are having such thoughts then please note that you are not alone in this, and there are people out there that can help.

    If you are having these suicidal thoughts then we strongly recommend you speak to someone who may be able to help. The Samaritans offer a safe space where you can talk openly about what you are going through. They can help you explore your options, understand your problems better, or just be there to listen.

    Their contact details are on our patient information leaflet here: https://patient.info/health/dealing-with-suicidal-thoughts, which also offers lots of other advice on how you can access the help you may need.

    If you are having such thoughts then please do reach out to the team at the Samaritans (or the other people detailed in our leaflet) who will understand what you're going through and will be able to help.

    Hi you don't say whether you are getting any medical help? If not you need to see your doctor as there is help available.

    Feeling suicidal is a red flag that you need help so please don't be afraid to seek it. We all understand on here but there is only so much we can do on an online site so you must seek professional help,

    Meanwhile stay with us and we will do our best to support and help you. x
