Done
Stress and mental fatigue have me waking up every few days thinking about dying. I dunno why, generally I'm a pretty happy guy, like to laugh all the time, make others happy and turn to God for everything, but lately there's been a lot of shit going on at home and in my marriage, feeling overwhelmed and can't work properly, can't do my studies, just don't know what to do honestly. I hate feeling like this, like an overwhelming darkness engulfing me, but it's how I feel, but at least I know I'm feeling like this, and I know I need help. That's the first bit.

I know this feeling. I'm still struggling myself but have hope with the right support that I will find my way through the darkness and onto the other side. I hope the same for you.

@Yowie3 @Any1 Welcome to you both.
I’m sorry things are tough. Yes @Yowie3 knowing how you are feeling is the first step. Your GP will be able to help you with further steps.
You are both welcome to join in anywhere around the forums. You will certainly find understanding and support here.
The @ brings a dropdown. That’s how we tag each other.
Good Morning is a good thread to meet others and have a friendly chat.
I hope to see you both around.
