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

    Help me. Please.

  • Josh says:

    I’m 20, live on my own, and I don’t think I can do it anymore. I feel alone in every sense of the way because if I get close to someone, they either leave, or tell me that they’ve been pushed out. I’ve tried so much to try and be a ‘normal’ person, enjoy life. But I can’t, and I don’t have the energy or willingness to try anymore. Please help!

    • Bannen says:

      When you run out of energy and happiness trying to fit in as ‘normal’… then the next thing to do is to stop doing all that. Let it go, and see what YOUR normal is. Because it might be pretty damn fantastic, even if it’s very different from what the accepted norm is for the people around you.

    I am older now. Perhaps no one will read this. I toy with idea of ending it all, because I cannot work, I am in poor health, I am staying with someone who is verbally abusive and very ill. My daughter will not allow me to live with her because I cannot contribute money, and her alternate excuse is that she is afraid the person I stay with will come looking for me? This other person is disabled, can’t walk, is in a lot of pain, can’t drive, can’t travel. So, my daughter just does not want to be stuck with feeling responsible for someone who cannot work (me), and I am not on disability yet. No income.This is scary. I used to be married and worked in a family business (for my husband) my entire life. He never paid into Social Security for me, and because of my chronic health problems, I worked on and off and on and off (trying to work) my entire life. Homelessness is absolutely terrifying. I try to find work, but in six years time, I have been called to interview here only twice.

    I know I’m not the only one like this. But the scary thing is most of the people like me are living on the street or living with family in a basement somewhere. I do not have family to turn to. But at least this is helpful to write about this. Yes, I am grateful to have a place to live, even if the person I stay with constantly calls me names and accuses me of things. It is all so annoying and tiring.

    Another ridiculous thing is that I am a writer (by preference and some good past experience). If I could get a desk job, I know I could support myself. I am very pretty for my age and dress well. Who am I trying to convince? No one reads this site that could help me. And actually I just need a job. Not a hand-out. And I am willing to pass this on at every opportunity. I like to help people, and I am so low-low-low right now I can’t even volunteer and help others in that way.

    I pray for all of us on here, that the force of the universe will show us mercy and help us with our individual problems and needs. I only wish the best for each one of you, and if I had the means, I would see that all of us were helped in some way to lift us up so, that we could all continue to walk up instead of think down.

    Thank you, whomever you are, for creating this website. I typed “please help me” on my browser and I found your website.

    • karen says:

      I feel your pain, I typed in please help me also.. somehow, to know you are not alone with these feelings may help…… just know that I have read your post and hope that you feel that there is someone out here thinking of you… lots of love x

    • Bannen says:

      Emailed you a few times, Jan. But they keep bouncing back, saying your ‘inbox is full’. Perhaps you can email me using an alternate email address? Or empty your inbox?

  • Harish says:

    I am writing this with great pain thinking where to start as there is no beginning and there is no ending for my suffering. It is a circle of failure.

    • Bannen says:

      If you stop trying, you will stop failing. Just ‘let’. Just surrender to what happens. Then there is no failure, each thing is a success. Difficult to understand, difficult to do, and sorry to sound wishy-washy and spiritual. But when everything you try leads to failure, to the point where you feel your entire life is failing… then all that’s left is to stop trying and just Let.
      Emailed you, Harish.

  • Roger says:

    Oh thank god I found this. I need help and I need it now. I’m starting to question if all this is worth going through.

    • karen says:

      if it helps at all, I feel the same, really hope that you are in a bit of a better state of mind, everyone tells me one step at a time, try to be good to yourself, I have only just found this website, so many people feeling so desperate, it is so very sad, how many people in a day might you see, how many feel like this…. sending you love
