I was going to commit suicide.
I'd lost my job, split up with the missus and was having a jolly bad time getting over being the victim of child abuse.
Drugs, music and alcohol took the edge off but something still couldnt quite push me over the edge even with knife in hand.
I was living in an empty house with just myself for company in my old room wondering what on earth to do next. Luckily for me I rang the Samaritans. They were very nice, very patient and really did help despite my reservations about telling anyone how I felt at the time, even close friends couldnt have helped.
That very next day I got a phone call from a former work colleague offering me a job - and pretty much a lifeline out of the bottom - it was uncanny timing. That job ended up paying for the house I'm in. The missus and myself got back together soon after and we've hardly had a bad word against each other since - but she doesnt know about the phone call or how close it got.
Theres bad out there but there is also help when needed and sometimes just having someone listen helps.
