People always say trite things like 'you are loved' 'talk to me' but where are these people right now? I have nobody who gives a shit about me. No friends, nobody.

I can't wait to jump. Freedom from this horrible life, the cruel people, and the never ending demands of my time, energy, and money from people who don't care. I have an adult daughter who is the greediest most unkind person and a 'partner' who ignores me. I would love for someone to knock on my door and say hey, here's the keys to a new home and a new life, bring what you can and don't look back, but nobody is ever going to do that. When I was 17 my father actually told me to commit suicide so I guess he's got his wish. So looking forward to doing it.

It’s not too late to get help. People want to reach out and help you if you will let them.
You are loved and you can be rescued.

Oh this is the saddest thing to read, those of you who are contemplating suicide.

I have lost everything and been at rock bottom many times, but there is always a glimmer of hope, even if it is just one spark. Please, please find a way of talking to someone, even if it is someone on Twitter/Facebook or even someone at your local corner shop, or a priest. They won’t preach, they will listen. Phone the Samaritans. Please reach out, someone will be there.

I agree, Beachy Head is a beautiful place, but also one of the saddest places. I feel for those lost souls who have ended their lives. Please don’t be another statistic.

Talk to me.

I shall be there soon and I just need the courage to jump. It’s those few seconds and the ending that frighten me so much but it’s the only option as I’ve lost everything and shall soon be homeless without a penny due to depression and losing my job. I have truly tried everything and have lost everyone I love.

I was there yesterday and been there so many times. I am too scared to jump plus have thoughts of it not working. Most of the memorials seemed to have gone — is it the erosion? I pray to get the courage to jump at the right spot. Depression has ruled my life and the people I love don’t understand how bad it is. The guilt of not feeling better yet getting so much help is unbearable. Beachy Head is just breathtakingly beautiful and where I’d like to spend my last moments.

Guest 13-Sep-2016 13:20
Feel like going there.

It solves nothing
Don't give up on everything
Don't give in
Try one last time to be heard.
Please...

This is my destination next month. Wife cheated, destroyed our family, I'm caught between two countries and there's no hope in sight. Too many regrets, too much humiliation and guilt. Life is shattered, only the end of the fall with provide comfort. You don't know until it has happened to you. At least there's a place where the fall is almost definitely fatal. Some people need a spot like this or otherwise be maimed for life.

I went there today, just to visit, and was very moved by the place. It generated a similar feeling I experienced on Golden Gate a decade ago - both magnificnet places, but so affected by the lives that come to an end here. These sad souls do leave a legacy to the living; it is impossible not to pause, reflect and think about the nature and fragility and vulnerability of the human condition, and ones own place in the scheme of it all and to be grateful for what you have, emotionally. It is an odd thing to realise that life can end by stepping just one more foot, and then so overwhelmingly teaful to realise that for some, it does.
This site, and collection of thoughts and pictures is a very positive thing. It provides a portal for anyone to discuss the undiscussable and better comprehend the incomprehensible.
Bless you John.

I was the last person who would have thought I needed help, and the last person anyone would have suspected of thinking it, I never understood people who had depression, or who committed self harm or suicide, now I have been to the edge, felt the despair, the worthless feelings, the blackness of it and the sheer weight of failure, to BELIEVE with a certainty that everyone would be better off if I just left this place forever.... I will never feel that way about it again. FFS speak to so done, anyone, it was the hardest thing I have ever done, and it saved my life. Pick up a phone, tell someone......

Please accept my sympathy for your loss.
The pain never goes away, but it does ease with time.
Guest 15-Sep-2012 23:29
We lost someone dear to us here only days ago, I wish, so wish he could have been spotted and stopped to prevent the heart ache we all feel now. But, he wanted to go..... The sadest news I have ever been told in my life !!
Guest 09-Jul-2012 18:17
A colleague went over last night. Thank you to all those that try to help. It was at least his second visit.
Darren 13-Jun-2012 23:27

Anon, talk to someone first, talk to a few different people.
There are good people in the world who will help you.
It is hard to find them, but persevere.
Good luck.
Anon 20-Feb-2010 19:36
Wish I had the courage to jump.
