If you feel at imminent risk of self-harm, please seek help urgently. You are not alone. You can ring us, contact NHS111, dial 999, speak to the Samaritans, present yourself to the nearest A&E department, speak to your counsellor, your community psychiatric nurse, the crisis team (if you are under their care) or confide in a trusted friend or family member.
