Too many people having financial problems these days, you simply can't help everyone...? Even the organisations themselves have limited resources...

tried Family Service Centre when I have a problem with my marriage.
called on a weekday at about 6:00pm
they say there is no one able to help me now as it is end of the day, call back tomorrow or visit the centre.
did not call, that night I was standing at the edge of 40th floor.
did not have the courage to et go my hand, end up in IMH with a help of my friend.
I think the number is good to know, but not necessary dial by the one in trouble. might work better to be dial by the supportive friend as the one in trouble will not able to think proper. -

In any case, DO keep your FRIENDS' CONTACT NUMBERS with you in case of ANY SUCH NEEDs... -
Yup. We should all express our feelings or emotions actually. When will you BOYS stop acting all "macho macho" and "bottling your feelings inside" until you explode and start EXPRESSING YOURSELF?
For one thing, we girls like expressive boys.
Oh, and this is GREAT.
Alot of people committed sucide already.....
I hope they are reborn.. -
its not pn purpose that most guys tend to bottle up their feelings inside...they just care for their pride and their ego...
guys have a very high ego...
as for committing sucide...i last time once almost did that, though a lot of ways to die...but somehow someway....thanks to some negative thoughts that i have inside my mind, its negative thoughts killing the negative thoughts of sucide that made me what i am today....
it's not we don't want to express ourselves...but there aren't enough avenues for us guys to express ourselves...
when i am emotional, i just find my own ways to cool myself off...cause i know that i have no good pals to express myself when i am down..in the past- maybe yes, but now, in different schools, seldom talk, then also just become normal friends only le...so i just bottle up my thoughts...and occassionally blog my thoughts up there....
well that's about it...
who can we guys express ourselves to??
no best pals...how to??
some times, i just wished that there is some one who can accompany me to sit by the beach all day long not saying anything...its just the feeling that someone is there for you is good...isn't it?
i rather express myself online rather in real life...real life...hard to find like minded friends....online easier to find...
if anyone needs help, maybe just a chat or something, can just email me....my help is limited, at least i can be the friend who keep secrets..
regards,
weijian

Seems u have a very kind heart to reach out to those who r troubled or thinking of ending their lives. I am also one of those too . last few years ago, i was very very depressed that i actually committed suicide on few occasions but yet i ended up in hospital n the hopsital actually reported to the police abt my attempted suicide. I hate those doctors for reporting to police but later i realised it was for my own good. then i underwent lots of counsellings sessions with my former church counsellers til one year plus. So now i am feeling better for soem times but again i am getting more frustrated with my current marital problem.Originally posted by Devil1976:Easier for people to access... Thought of letting people post all the help lines and such in this thread... -
take care

I don't know much about helplines..never tried..
But I tried one way and it always work for me..
# first, I must want to be helped..
Then I go read my bible..
talk to some I trust
and I pray for forgiveness..
and read about how God want to really forgive me..
God assure us so many time and again that He is ready to forgive and help us get back to a good relationship with Him, then with others who we wanted to relate to..not matter how amny times we do wrong..
One 24 hours helpline always work..call 999 -
My personal opinion:
999 will consider you more as a "nuisance caller" but nevertheless they will engage you in conversation till help comes. 995 will be a better option as they can come with medical specialists and tranqs to knock you out in case you do something stupid. Lastly, these are the 2 24 hour emergency services should all else fails.
Nevertheless, do call someone and anyone if you really need a helping hand. Do provide your personal information as that will help a lot in getting help to you.
Lastly, these are the 2 24 hour emergency services should all else fails. Use them as a last resort as they tend to be very busy.

No $$ call what line to get help??? I need $$$$!!!

when in a real emergency, can one call 999 for help???
lets say someone who is suicidal doesnt know the SOS hotline...and calls 999 instead...will the police bother to help??

Maybe? It's a chance to take... Somehow I feel calling 995 might hold a higher chance...?Originally posted by udontknowme:when in a real emergency, can one call 999 for help???

ARE YOU A CAREGIVER?
You are Â… if you help a family member, relative or friend who is unable, either through age, sickness or disability, to properly care for and manage his or her daily personal needs. In a caregiving role, caregivers often provide a wide array of emotional, financial, social, nursing, home making and related services on a daily or ad-hoc basis.
About AWWA CFC

The purpose of AWWA CFC is to address the growing concerns affecting the health and well-being of caregivers in Singapore.
