So this is a bit different to my regular uploads.  I've been suffering badly with my mental health lately anyway, then someone unknowingly triggered it this week causing me to have severe panic attacks and begin self harming again.  This is not something I talk about much and I admit my mental state meant that I couldn't make this the best vlog ever.  But I guess this is really just to get the topic going and reach out to other sufferers. If people want to continue the subject, I will more than likely make a follow up video at some point when my mind is in a better way!

The important thing to remember is that you are not alone!  There are always people out there who care about you even if it doesn't feel like it.  If ever you are feeling suicidal, please do something about it.  Phone a hotline, get a friend or relative to sit with you or even call an ambulance and get yourself hospitalised until you feel better.  Things will get better, I promise!

Some helplines for UK sufferers:

Samaritans - 116 123 or email [email protected].

Childline (for children and young people) 0800 1111  Unlike Samaritans, this is a freephone number (and won't show upon your phone bill if you're scared of others finding out you called)

PAPYRUS (for suicidal teenagers and young people) - 0800 068 41 41

If nothing else works, get yourself to A&E or call 999.  There will be somebody there who can help and they will listen. You are important even if you don't feel that way right now.
