Help Me Please

LET’S BEGIN.

First, for anyone who is at their end, right here and right now–I’m talking about suicide–and you’ve tried all the other options and I’m your last hope… please go directly to my page called Beyond The End. Do it now.

For the rest of you, thank you for visiting my website. You’ve typed in ‘help me please’, which means you’ve gone beyond searching for a specific type of help, and your circumstances have overwhelmed you into making a more general plea: you are making YOUR DEEP CALL FOR HELP.

I’m answering. I offer sincere help throughout this site, it’s pure and it’s for free. There is no advice here, nothing to buy, no ads, no exercises or tests to take, no new things for you to ‘believe’ or ‘follow’. You can keep your religious beliefs, or lack thereof, because this is not a religious site, and yet it also includes every person in every religion.

Please read the following short introductions to the three kinds of help I offer here, and then start exploring whichever seems to meet your need at the moment.

***I hope something on my site resonates with you, maybe helps your situation, offers a little peace and some options. Please read ‘The Help Me Book’. There is so much I still need to put on this site and I apologize for so much that is missing, and I’m sorry if your situation falls into those gaps and you aren’t helped. For the time being I’m closing comments, and I’m very sorry for that as well. I wish I could personally hear every one of you. I am taking a lot of time to re-organize this site globally, and adding a lot of pages, to make it easier for you to find the exact help you are looking for. Until then, please read my present site, despite its limitations. I will take this notice down once the site is updated.

Introduction: The HELP ME Book1. The HELP ME Book
There are options you have not thought about. Even the wisest, most intelligent and resourceful mind cannot think of every option. A life-saving option may be right in front of you, even within you, and because you are in such a dire state you’re not able to recognize it clearly.

There are options that can help you cope with, manage, make less painful, or solve (if they can be ‘solved’) your problems. I have heard so many people say, “I’ve tried everything!” and, “Nothing works, no one can help me!” and, “I don’t know what to do!”.

Do you really think you’ve tried ‘everything’? You haven’t come close to trying everything, and I’ll prove it here. Nothing works? Everything works in some way, you just haven’t opened to ‘everything’ in the right way. You don’t know what to do? On a certain level, you know entirely what to do; you just haven’t been able to look past your pain and fear and the noise in your head, and hear yourself.

The HELP ME Book is a shot of adrenaline for you. If you think you’re ‘at the end’, you’ve ‘hit bottom’, you’ve ‘run out of realistic options’, your ‘life is over’… please read my book. It is progressive, linear, blows apart your thought that you’ve tried everything and have reached your limit, and gives you many options you hadn’t thought about. Think of this book as a ‘primer before you reach out for more specific kinds of help’.

Remember: my book, like everything on this site, is free. Nothing to buy, nothing to learn, no exercises, no religiousness, no commercial spirituality. You just read it, and it starts to move something inside you. Note that this book is not simply a few brief website articles; this is a lot of reading, something to immerse yourself in, a big book published in web page form. Let’s begin with the Introduction.

Interview: Separating Parents2. THE INTERVIEWS
The most common thing you hear when you’re in difficulty or in crisis is ‘Talk to someone’. But sometimes you can’t, either because of your own limitations or because there’s simply no one around you feel you can talk to, who would be safe or helpful to talk with. So I’m bringing them to you.

These are interviews I do with people who have been through things. All kinds of people, from all areas, all ages, and all kinds of life happenings. One of the biggest blind spots of anyone who is suffering, is the feeling that you are alone, that no one understands. But if you are having deep troubles, and you read an interview, or a dozen interviews, with people who are going through similar things, you no longer feel so isolated. And you can learn, be helped, by hearing about how others have coped, even survived and thrived, through circumstances similar to what you are going through. They may not be able to listen to you in person, but by the way they share their own words here you’ll know that they would hear you if you were talking to them right now.

To read more about these interviews and how I conduct them, please read ‘The Interviews‘ page. Or you can go directly to any category under ‘THE INTERVIEWS’ heading at right, and select an interview whose title resonates with your own circumstances. Note that no interview is just about one thing; a ‘change of life’ interview might talk about some great or tragic event leading to that change; a ‘sexual abuse’ interview might talk about later problems in life resulting from the abuse. I try to loosely categorize each interview, but each one includes wider events.

I will add to these interviews constantly, so please check in at a later date, if you do not see an interview that helps you at the moment.

Free Your Thinking3. ClearYourMind.com
Usually it is a wide collection of events and decisions that bring you down a road that eventually tightens and bottlenecks into your finally asking ‘help me please’. It is invariably a combination of external happenings, and your reactions and responses to them, that brings you to either success or suffering. This is not a matter of ‘fault’ or blame, of intelligence or strength; the smartest and strongest people can still end up in a place of despair and destitution.

But your mind can evolve into something better; not every difficult circumstance in your life can be thwarted or escaped, however there are mind-tools you can use to better cope with problems, and then to deal with enough parts of a problem so that the whole is reduced in severity and becomes something manageable.

These are a random series of mind tools. Mind tools are just that: thought-tools to help your mind build into a stronger entity. You don’t have to learn any new spiritual words, there are no exercises, you don’t have to learn or remember anything here. Mind tools are simple thoughts that clarify something in your head, help your thought process evolve into something more efficient, healthy, powerful, capable. You just read them, and they start to work.

You can read them at www.ClearYourMind.com. As with this site, there are no ads there, nothing to buy, and all articles and photos are by me. Enjoy.

–   –   –

I hope these pages can help you. Every article on this site is written by myself, every interview is conducted by myself and the final version is approved by the person being interviewed, and the photos are all by me.

I have been in that place, of asking HELP ME PLEASE, many times in the past, for many years, and in situations I did not feel I could survive. So I think I can give you realistic and effective options.

And I hope I do that.

Thank you,
Neil

  • Bree says:

    • Bannen says:

      You sound scared. But one step at a time. Need more details, like are you underage, do you have understanding parents, do you have doctor access, etc. I have emailed you, Bree.

  • A reader says:

    • Bannen says:

      Thank you; and more important, I hope something here has resonated with you if you were looking for help. Have a great life.

  • Bill says:

    I don’t know what to do. Since starting college 3 years ago I’ve lost my every motivation and enthusiasm about anything. I spend the day in a permanent state of emotionless outward appearance while inside I am crying. I go whole days without talking to anybody, not even opening my mouth. I have no connection to anyone in my year or college and honestly feel that they hate me for not talking but I still can’t talk to them and tend to get fidgety and feel sick whenever I spend the day in college. I constantly talk myself out of doing something stupid, as I know I that I never want to put my family in that situation, but everyday I feel a little bit more dead inside and I need help.

  • Katie says:

    I hate my life so much. People can tell I’m struggling and have offered to help, but I’d rather die than ask for help. I’m so ashamed I’ve fallen back into a depression. I just want to disappear for 10 years.

    • Bannen says:

      Hi Katie, please read my page on ‘Asking’. Not wanting to ask for help is indicative of something deeper happening. I’ve emailed you.

  • Izzy says:

    Hi Just wanted to talk I’m not doing that good Don’t know why but feeling very down

  • Jess says:

    Hi I’m not happy at home, but then again when am I ever happy at home? I have a 10 year old little sister that gets everything she wants and blames everything on me, I have a job to pay for bus and college which USB only £20 a week and I can’t afford it anymore. And my mother, it’s like I’m a burden she claims she wants to help me that she’s always there But when I needed her the most she was at home watching tv doing nothing ignoring me. Now resently I got a new boyfriend and she loves him and cares for him more than me and it hurts so much to see that she’d rather make an effort with him other than her own daughter. For example me and my boyfriend go college the same days and I don’t have much money he goes by car… she offers him a ride home but to only him and me I have to get the bus. And this isn’t the first insidant either it’s been going on for years I’m always the servant and always last choice everything I get I pay for my self and child maintenance is like a mystery because my bank is like a dessert but I don’t get any of it because goes to her and my younger sister which of whom we don’t share the same parents.. that money is meant for me not her or anyone else. And precious years before this she’d sit by and watch my older sisters bully me.
    I have depression and anxiety and fear for asking for help because all I get is “you can do it your self” or “no” I’m fed up because every night I cry my self to sleep because I can’t remember the last time I’ve actually been truly happy and I hate it here and al I wanna do is leave and never look at her again because all she does is make me cry. Someone please help me to understand what’s wrong with me

    • Bannen says:

      Hi Jess… it sounds like you’re really being shunted aside in many ways, especially by family. Like you have no voice and they are not really seeing you. But this isn’t about you, really… something is going on with THEM, to make them treat you like that. And perhaps you can look into them and their issues more clearly, and doing so will help them see you better. I have emailed you.

  • Hidden says:

    Help me I can’t live like this anymore and I just want to kill myself

  • Roh says:

    Yo…
    I need your help in kind of suggestion…Can you please help me…? I mean I don’t know what to do… I don’t wanna do anything wrong…I will be waiting for your reply.. I hope you are listening.

  • Joe says:

    I never thought I’d be the type of person to be in this stage of my life, I guess it can really happen to anyone, but I’ve also never ever considered offing myself. I just wanted to get this thing off my chest that I can’t do with the people around me, no matter how much they want to help. I feel lost, I feel mediocre, something I have spent my entire life avoiding. I’ve always wanted to be the best I could be and yet, for something as big as my dream, ever since I was a little kid, I can’t push myself, I can’t make myself do the things I have to, to realize it and I don’t understand why. I’ve always done things to stand out of the crowd and yet now I feel like I’m blending in so well nobody can see me anymore. I saw your note at the end so I don’t expect a response, I want to read your book too but I have so many other things I should be doing right now that I’m currently trying to get myself to do. I guess I just needed to finally say it somewhere, even if it is just something nobody might read or get lost in a the sea that is the web.

    You’re trying to do a really great thing here Neil, from the bottom of my heart, I say thanks.
