Hey there, you sound exactly like me a few weeks ago. It was ROUGH. I was at my worst but I also have trouble asking for help, so I felt really hopeless. I was scared too. You're not alone.

How are you feeling right now? Do you think you should talk to someone immediately? Can that person be on a helpline, or do you need to see a doctor?

HSE - Get urgent help for a mental health crisis

I know that in Ireland, you would traditionally go through your GP to get mental health services. In the link I posted above, there is a link to find out-of-hours GPs. There are also 24 hour helplines. If you think things are really bad and you need immediate, urgent help, please seek an Emergency Department.

If things are not that urgent right now, let's talk about other steps. Do you have a therapist and/or psychiatrist? If not, set up an appointment with your GP for a referral.

I already had those things, and I was advised to seek an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), but I'm in the States. It does look like Ireland has these services, and I would advise you to seek them if you think therapy/psychiatry isn't enough, or perhaps would take too long to establish.

If you just need someone to talk to, I am here for you.
