I'm sorry that things are so bad Oceanblue.

If you feel like you're right on the edge, usually a hotline is the best resource because the people staffing them usually have training. In the US, you can call 988, and www.befrienders.org has a world-wide listing of hotlines.

You can still use SF if you want to though.

A lot of folks here are suicidal and SI. Do you want to say more about what's going on?

Thank you - my SI have been around for few months , and whilst I experienced similar couple of years ago, I worked my way out of it , but not this time. Too much trauma and losses and time to act

That's a lot to deal with all at once, I'm sorry that's happening.

Because you're feeling like you're on the edge, can you tell me if you know what sort of things will help you take a step back?

A lot of times, if someone can just get through the short term, things can end up working out better than they expect.

There's a member here who owned his own real estate service in London, and when the business collapsed, he became suicidal. I think his relationship was on the rocks too.

I tried to remind him how extraordinary it is to be an entrepreneur, that really so few people even get to the stage of doing that even that many have that as a dream. Also that he'd probably have chance to bounce back in the future. In his case, that seemed to help.

It’s been a few months - and no short term . Other trauma from the past has finally taken its toll, on top of recent events, which have left me financially and emotionally broken . Once house sells , I’ll move on as can’t afford to stay in local region , and that means business closes . I’m done

There's a lot of thing that I'd like to know about, about your whole background and experiences, but for right now thinking about something that made you happy in the past, remembering something that you have felt grateful for, generally something positive is probably the best thing to focus on.

Also, if you have gathered a method, putting some distance between you and that is a high priority.

Ok, you don't have to say anything about the business.

I think generally threads don't get deleted, though you might be able to ask a mod.

If you don't feel like I'm helping, someone else could take over replying to you, or you might also want to try a hotline again.

When you said chat services, were you talking about something over the phone or did you mean online chat?
