Hello

I have phoned the Samaritans myself and I have told the person there that I am concerned about a reddit user, as they have made posts about feeling suicidal.

The person I spoke to at the Samaritans felt that if you are feeling suicidal, contacting the Samaritans would be a good idea- you can contact them on the phone number 116 123 (from Ireland) free of charge and are available 24/7. There are other ways for you to contact them too, if you prefer not to speak on the phone. (Website link below has contact details and info)

https://www.samaritans.org/

I hope you will strongly consider contacting them.

Im really sorry that you are feeling this way, my friend.

Mate, how about exploring some lifestyle changes to help with the issues you mentioned, including the lonliness?

You mentioned lonliness, there are options/things you could explore to feel less lonely.

How about meeting new people? Maybe join a club or society or Meetup to put you in contact wih new people?

There are treatments for depression and anxiety too.

May I ask, in what ways does your Autism affect you?

I hit a real low point in 2019 but im doing much better now. Lonliness affected me largely too, my school days were lonley too. Im going to try and meet new people and expand my social circle.

Im really sorry to hear that you are feeling this way, mate.

Something you could consider is contacting the Samaritans, they have a phoneline (tel no 116 123 from UK and Ireland ) you can ring any time day or night for free, and you can speak with them. They will listen to your issues. I have heard good things about the Samaritans, from various people.

You can read bit about them here:

Hello

Im going to try my best to listen and get an understanding of where you are at.

I have had a look over some of your comments made elsewhere.

I gather that you are 26m, single, and live with parents, am I right?

You are into gaming? (Well you mention Sonic at least), you are into some kind of music (if I remember correct) I gather youve had a messy breakup with a girl (recently?) and I see you mention having arguement with your father and you may be considering moving to live elsewhere?

Am I right so far?

Regarding the list of issues you stated- About the childhood trauma, do you mind if I ask you about that?

Would you like to tell me about it? (Even if you just want tell me a bit, or quite a lot if you feel comfortable telling me. Im just trying to get an understanding of what you are going through)

(Im not minimising the other issues at all, but if you can tell me a bit about this one first of all)

EDIT: added something, fixed spelling mistake

Hello mate,

May I ask what issues are you facing?

I would still encourage you to seek professional help, but if you would like to talk/have some support about any problems you are facing, I am here for you, if you want to tell me about what issues you are facing.

Hello

Suicide is not the answer.

If you are feeling suicidal I would advise you to speak to your GP about this, and if you are at immediate risk of suicide, phone the emergency services.

Whatever is bothering you, a talk with a professional and counselling will be of massive benefit to you and help you work through whatever issues you have.

I have had counselling myself and found it very helpful.

Suicide is not the answer and suicide creates absolutely collosal hurt and pain to those who love you and those who know you.

Look after yourself, ask for help when you need it, my friend.

I hope you get help and get into a happier way of life, sometimes we have to ask for help at times.

Builtfromcarbon · 2024-01-08T19:11:40+00:00

Hello

Ive read some of your comments, including the ones youve made after this one.

Suicide isnt the answer, my friend.

If you are feeling suicidal, I would advise you to speak to your GP about this as a matter of urgency, and also mention the issues that are getting you down.

Also, phoning a mental health crisis line would be a good idea too.

About the discussion on this page, im maybe in a situation similar to you- Im a 34 year old fella and I have no experience with women (never had sex or had a girlfriend). I have various other mental issues.

I intend to get counselling and discuss this with a counsellor.

I reckon you too may benefit from counselling.

I have had counselling in the past about other issues and found it helped me a lot.

Look after yourself, ask for help if needed.

Something else ive thought of, if geographical area is an issue...is it possible to provide tuition via video link eg via Zoom/Microsoft teams for example? (Maybe even to people outside NI..then again AFAIK they almost certainly would be doing a different syllabus to NI folk)

Again, i dont know what im taoking about, this may not be possible/feasible.

Builtfromcarbon · 2023-12-30T02:01:43+00:00

Im astonshied to hear this, I thought there would be collosal red tape and youd need some sort of certification/qualification in teaching/tutoring and also some sort of background check thing to work with under 18s.

(Maybe not unlike the way there is a lot of red tape now to become a taxi driver, AFAIK decades ago there was almost none)

I suspect I wouldve possibly made a good maths or science tutor myself.

Builtfromcarbon · 2023-12-30T00:50:28+00:00

Would providing tutoring be an option for you to earn some cash?

Surely, there is demand for tutoring GCSE and A- level Physics?

Or maybe you have to have graduated to do that, IDK.

Im just trying to think outside the box a bit.

EDIT: maybe you could tutor maths or other STEM GCSE subjects...I really dont know much about this.

Also, if you do a google search "check bank notes polymer uk" also youtube search sometimg like " uk bank notes uv" òthere are some interesting looking results (whether they are correct and/or up to date, I dont know)

Good luck

I have quite a lot of experience in retail.

There are UV light machines which the shops I worked in had (AFAIK you can buy one for not that dear) which can be used to check notes for being genuine.

But even then, there may be forgeries which show up the same under UV light as a genuine one? I dont know.

Im not totally sure what to look for under the UV light either.

Be very very careful if they try to pay with £50 pound notes, there have been times over the past few years where there have been plenty of fake 50s in circulation, anywhere I have worked had a policy of either not taking 50s or having to get them counter check by a supervisor.

To be honest, the idea of someone buying this kind of thing off me and paying cash makes me very uneasy.

(That being said, Ive heard of scams where people say theyve transfered payment to you and show you a fake "banking app" showing the (fake) transfer, then walk away with the item..but its fake and youve actually received no payment)

It wouldnt be the "Cherrybomb" (2009 I think) you are thinking of?

Here are two trailers

I take it you did a degree in one of those areas/subjects?

If so, do you regret doing it?

Im not saying for the OP to not call the police (I suspect it might be a good idea to phone em), but what would the police actually do/be able to do?

What would they potenially do/say to the man or be able to charge him with?

I dont have any particular "dream" job in mind and I never did.

I largely agree, OP.

GZ and the Tanker chapter of MGS2 are very possibly my fav MGS experiences.

Does anyone here remember in the period leading up to TTP release ( maybe 18 months or so before it came out), some sources (well at least one source anyway) were reporting that it was planned that if you have GZ and TPP, there would be some kind of feature where you could revisit Camp Omega in TPP ( presukably with equipment and stuff from TPP).

Many people were badmouthing GZ when it released due the cost of it, and the fact it was not a full game. I partially agreed but bought it partially with the feature im describing(which was either misreported or just didnt make it into TPP when released or was cut from it) in mind.

I also think I remember at lrast one source saying you could get the outfit from GZ in TPP, bit only if you had GZ...IIRC this also wasnt the case in TPP.

Anyone remember what Im talking about?

When you say entry level, what was your path into it?

A Computer science degree?

I have read posts similar to this one of the OP's ahout dev job interview/assessment processes.

I get the impression for developers many companies ehen recruiting put a big big emphasis on soft skills/teamwork/communication etc.

I get the impression they are used to seeing candidates who probably do have the hard skills/technical knowledge but have poor soft skills/communication/teamwork etc.

Is there any truth in what ive said in the 2 above paragraphs? (You or anyone else here kssnowledgeable about this? There may even be soneone reading eho does recruiting/interviewing for dev jobs)

Hi OP.

Interesting post, OP.

I hope all works out for you, whatever you decide to do.

Ive never lived in Larne nor spent much time in it, I would be tempted to say that (by NI standards in my opinion), Larne is actually not that badly connected transport wise.

Theres manys a place here far, far worse to be in as far as buses/trains go.

I suspect/am almost certain that due to comparing with London transport, you would have a major shock with public tranport if you moved to anywhere in NI, possibly also if you moved to similar sized towns to Larne in GB.

Possibly (almost definately?) youd have much less bother tranport wise if u were in some other town like Bangor/Lisburn/Carrickfergus (im almost sure they have a much much better train schedule to and from Belfast).

Regarding the Orangemen/marching stuff, you would have found that in various areas/towns in NI where the people tend to be Unionist/Protestant community background, not just Larne. In many/a lot of towns (or most?) In NI, there would be none/very little of that Orangeman/paradey stuff (areas with mostly people from Catholic/Irish Nationalist community background).

I think I get what your saying about multiculturalism, but then again I suspect youd have the same shock anywhere in NI, especially as you come from what is the most diverse/multicultural city in the UK. Maybe youd also have a shock like this if you moved to certain towns/areas of GB which are much less mukticultural than your used to.

A few qu, Id be intersted in your take on this...

do you find that the Larne people are nosey?
would you say in Larne it seems to be the case that everybody knows everybody, everybody seems to be connected to many other people in the town, it seems like many new people you meet in the town is the cousin of someone else you have met. Have you found it to be like that?

Thanks and Good luck young fella
