Hello Sarah, @sarahslade907 and welcome to the community. I am very glad to have you with us and am deeply saddened to read of your situation. Sadly, you are not alone in struggling.
It is important for you to know that this is a safe place and that you are among friends here. Whatever experiences you have had or are going through, whatever your troubles are or have been, you will almost certainly find people here who have experienced something similar, who care and can empathise with you. Don't hesitate to talk to us, to ask us questions or to tell us anything about yourself.
It is no less important that if you are feeling suicidal, at the end of your tether (and no-one could blame you for that) you need to ring ring the Samaritans for free on 116 123. If you believe you are a currently a danger to yourself, please visit your local hospital immediately.
Stay with us Sarah. You are among friends here and we will do our best to help.

Hi Sarahslade,
I'm so sorry to hear of the bad situation you're in. I know how easy it is to feel depressed and alone. I'm new on this forum so I don't have a lot to add regarding practical help, but I do know there is help out there. And sometimes just a cyberhug can make you feel less alone. Knowing somebody cares is important in this fast paced world that seems to whirl by with no care for those who, through no fault of their own, find it hard to keep up. I do feel that this forum is important in that respect just as much as it is for practical help. I haven't had any responses to my own request for advice on my situation yet, but it's early days. Please don't feel you're alone. I know sometimes the world seems dark and frightening - believe me, I've been there!  There are so many people on here ready to reach out to help. Hope you can find your way out of this bad situation.
