I received some really bad news - I was already in a really bad state anyway.
I had been depressed for years and had been on a lot of tablets.
We were in the middle of lockdown - I was going through a divorce, living on my own.
I have had mental health problems for years, getting worse.
They always said the ring the crisis line if things got bad - one night they did and in desperation I called.
But this nurse who answered didn't seem to give a hoot. They just blew me off without giving anything for what I was going through. They just didn't care at all.
I felt far worse after calling - it was like even the crisis line couldn't be bothered with me - so like what's the point?
I just felt like that was it I might as well top myself right then and there. I had been dry for a couple of years but I started drinking again that night with a mind to doing myself in later.
This service is supposed to be there to help you but they didn't care
