Hi 27-steps, I did last year after witnessing a girl commit suicide. They were very helpful and be prepared to talk about everything....it does help.

27-steps - despite our occasional silliness and madness here, we aren't a bad lot as a sounding platform if you have a genuine problem.

Why not try us and see if we can help - we are all nearly anonymous to each other - and of course to you, and we have a real mix of doctors, lawyers, NHS staff, teachers, social workers, ex police, and all the rest with a rich variety of life experience.

I have, they are extremely helpful, no matter the problem

I had a friend who volunteered for them for a while - they are unbiased and nonjudgemental.

I'm Bipolar and have suffered some 'unpleasant' episodes over the years. At one stage I emailed the samaritans - it was actually a good experience as it helped me sort out how I was feeling in my own mind.

The samaritans will listen to you - some times that is all you need.

Good luck

sorry to hear that wolf, I have a good friend who suffers as well and have been there when she was arrested...it is a very distressing situation for all concerned.

27 steps, do contact them, or a close friend, or even sound off here. I haven't used them before but came close once to doing myself considerable injury.....be brave and pick up the phone or use the keyboard here.
