Tired of life

Regular boring train of thought for me.
I wish I wasn't alive and could just disappear. I have a normal life but it's all too hard and I can't cope with it.
I have a therapist every fortnight. I have friends. I have breaks from my kids. I have ADs. I have a job. I just don't want to do all this anymore. I am just not cut out for life. I've accessed parenting support.

My kids aren't happy. It's just a horrible world from my perspective. Some people enjoy life, which is fine, but why do I need to carry on and suffer. I just don't fit in.

I can have good days, good weeks. But generally, it's all a struggle and every few days I just feel like I can't cope again.

My kids hate me and complain all the time. I can't contain all their angst. I can't discipline as everyone on MN seems to be able to. I'm a failure OK?

Their dad is a dick and they see him fortnightly but he is largely irrelevant and not a helpful part of the picture. I know I sound negative and sad. I know. I'm sorry for that. I don't want to be like this. God.
I'm just venting. I don't even need replies.

How old are your children? Do you have family? Anyone you can talk to apart from your therapist? I have regular bouts of paranoid depressive thoughts like this and since realising they are related to my (former) menstrual cycle it's easier to ride it somehow. Whether you realise it or not you are worthwhile, loved and needed. There will be better advice along shortly I'm sure.

Thanks for your reply.
I have friends, there's nothing to really say to them. There's no fix. There's struggling on and nothing else .No family nearby.
I'm not suicidal in any way , don't worry, and the kids are fine. 9&11. Not really an option to die.
I've asked my doc to up my ADs to help with PMS but this isn't related to my cycle I don't think.
The news isn't helping today. Vile world.

Maybe you need to ration your news intake. I get how sometimes there is no fix though.
