Hi there @Lee71,
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I am glad to hear that your doctor has been a great source of support for you. We hear you and can empathise with how difficult and frustrating the experience must have been. Have you considered contacting the mental health commission to address this? You can take a look at this for more information.
I also want to encourage you to reach out to Suicide Call Back Service if you ever need to chat about previous attempts or challenges with self-harm.
Take care,
Peonies

Hey there @Lee71 @NatureLover No it's important you feel safe to speak about your previous attempts and be honest about what you have been through, no guideline breaks have occured but I would be mindful about our safety guideline as you're posting, though no issues so far it is just a really good guideline to keep in mind in general . As a note, sometimes unpacking more detail can leave us feeling re-traumatised, @Former-Member Just referenced SCBS to ensure you have support available should you need a one to one chat to unpack this further.

@Former-Member please be reassured, neither @Lee71 nor I were intending to go into details in the slightest - we both know the guidelines and are both conscientious people. 🙂

You're fine, Lee - I asked you, and we are both aware of the guidelines. 🙂

No need for you to be sorry, Lee - I asked you the question anyway. And we haven't breached any guidelines.

Ok @NatureLover
Neither you or I would intentionally break the rules.
May be best for us to change the subject
