Please remember movies are never made about nice uneventful lives, where people get help and are able to solve their own problems.
We watch movies about bank robberies, logically the worse day in anyone’s working life who actually has to face that, not a week’s worth of uneventful 9-to-5 clerking and stamping cheques in and out!
I’ve posted some methods that helped me in the past here:
But you may be facing problems that are beyond what people on here can assist with - if you’re having thoughts of hurting yourself, it is important that you discuss them with someone who is qualified to help, such as a crisis helpline in your country. Please visit this link to find the appropriate number:
If you feel that you may be an immediate danger to yourself, please call your local emergency number or go to your local hospital emergency room right away. If you are unsure of the right number to call, please visit this link and call the number next to the country where you are located:
Please seek help from a medical professional, if that’s where you’re at right now (for you or anyone else reading this).
Almost every country has a similar crisis line and people who are waiting to hear you out, and help as much as possible.
