What’s the real reason people SH - TW

[Bananatime04]

My dream is to move to Brisbane and work for khl and maybe I could even meet my counsellor? Who knows. Anything could happen. I’m only 14 so... yeah.
What made you know you would be a single mum? Sorry for the questions I know nothing about babies or being a mum just that babies cry and it’s really irritating but some of then are kinda cute

[dncinginthedirt]

Aww that's awesome! It sounds as though we have similar ideas of career paths! A job working in phone-based crisis response like KHL appeals to me heaps too. It sounds as though your own experiences with KHL would make you really understanding to other young people seeking support 

I hope answering your question doesn't breach the guidelines, but I knew I'd be a single mum after I was assaulted.

And I am really enjoying chatting with you! 

[Bananatime04]

Oh I’m so sorry. I hope I haven’t made you feel negative in any way by bringing this up but I can relate to this too. Not with a boyfriend tho. I don’t have one yet...
I really am enjoying talking to you as well! 

[dncinginthedirt]

Are you currently safe from anyone harming you?

I'm so so glad that our chat has helped you! How are you feeling right now?

[Bananatime04]

Yeah I’m safe now. Everyone is asleep except me. I still feel down but the person has calmed down while I’ve been talking to you. Thanks x

[dncinginthedirt]

Awesome!

I am going to bed very soon.

I know it has been mentioned in this discussion already, but I just wanted to ask if you had thought about or made a safety-plan? 

Here is a link to an app that I found helpful when I was having thoughts of SH / suicide. https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/beyondnow-suicide-safety-planning

[Bananatime04]

Yeah I have a safety plan but I haven’t used it and I made it on that website too. Have I been annoying you or distracting from studying??

[dncinginthedirt]

Well you are an absolute champion for making your plan!!! I am so proud of you and I know everyone else here on the forums will be too  It's not an easy thing to do that's for sure.

I found that when I needed to use my safety-plan was when I least felt like using it. I hope you can use it when you need. Feel free to reach out if you would like some ideas on what to include in it!

[dncinginthedirt]

You are not annoying me at all don't worry! I'm really happy we have been talking 

[Bananatime04]

I’ll ask you if I need suggestions and I’ll try use it when I am thinking about suicide again.
Night x
