I've had a problem for a while with my mental health. Randomly getting really depressed (generally in the evening and I'm sure its not random, but I've no idea why), dealing with stress in pretty bad ways (cutting myself and isolating myself from others generally), and suicidal thoughts occasionally....
I’ve been dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts for nearly a decade now.
I’ve been through numerous therapists and have been seeing my current one for almost a year now.
First if all you need to speak to your GP. This is all confidential, your family will only know if you tell them. You need to be open and honest with the GP, tell them about your self harm and suicidal thoughts. I have never been threatened with any sort of psyc ward. But I suppose it would depend how bad things are? If your suicidal thoughts are only that, and you haven’t made any actual plans or any attempts at suicide, then you won’t be taken to a ward as far as I’m aware.
After speaking to your GP, they may offer some medication/anti depressants such as sertraline. They may also ask if you would like a referral for therapy. (If they don’t ask you. Make sure you bring it up to them). Unfortunately, referral to therapy is different under every council in the UK. Some, the GP will do the referral for you. Others you will have to self refer. In that case the GP should give you a website or a phone number for you to do this. Once referred by the GP or yourself, you will usually hear from someone within a week or so to Have a thorough discussion of your needs so they can find the right type of therapy and therapist for you. Unfortunately, the next part is a waiting game. Again depending on your council there could be a waiting list of several months before you get to speak to an actual therapist. You are usually offered a choice of video call therapy or in person therapy by the way. So pick what suits you.
I don’t know if you are male or female, but there are likly some local support groups in your area targeted at either group. Go onto your app/play store and search for an app called Hub of Hope. That can help you find local support services.
Also, if you have access to private medical cover such as Bupa, therapy may be covered in that. You will need GP referral to provide to Bupa, but they will be able to get you speaking to a therapist within about 1 to 2 weeks of sending your referral.
If you need to ask anymore please feel free to message me.

As title. Whenever I make a comment/reply. The screen will go black after I press the arrow button on the top right. I then have to kill and reopen the app. The comment/reply will have been posted successfully at least.
Can’t seem to make posts using this app. Can male comments without issue. But when trying to make posts its just does nothing. Having to use another app (Jerboa) to post this.
I got my RiF golden platinum working again by using revanced manager and a guide to patch in my own api key. I can still view NSFW content on it too. Not sure if it will stop eventually. But works right now. I only wanted to keep it for the NSFW stuff as lemmy is only just starting in that department. Been refusing to use it for general browsing though. Trying to stick with lemmy.
A little off topic, but I was also a RiF user and wanted a rif like experience for a lemmy. So far I’ve tried Jerboa for Lemmy (don’t really like that one) and wefwef (it’s OK, but not RiF like). I’ve started using Connect for Lemmy and when you change the settings to reverse list view, it’s very similar to RiF. Might be worth checking out.
It could be a bug, or or could just be me or maybe its be design. But when you open a link to an image. I'm not able to zoom on it. Touching the screen again will cause the image to close instead.
Everything he says is true. Spez doesn't care about any of the community. And won't just be him. Sure he is the CEO, but it won't just be his decision to treat the community and mods as trash.
I've been on reddit once since the blackout. And that was to read an old post that answered a tech question I had.
I have zero intention of returning to reddit as a frequent user unless they resolve this shit.
But once lemmy and others have become bigger. I won't need to visit reddit anymore.
I just hope the big subs that are still privet and restricted remain so.
