So a bit of background history first of all. I'm 22 years old and have a 19 month old boy. I live with my mother and I always had done for support. I suffer severe mental health and always have done from a young age. I suffer adhd and ocd and severe depression. I've also had trauma from my child's father which I think I talked about before in a previous post. Everyday is a struggle for me and motherhood is a big struggle. I struggle to get up everyday most days I just want to lie in bed (but I don't) most days I don't want to be around anyone I want to be alone. I don't want to speak to anyone I don't trust anyone I just hate everyone and I want to be alone. I try my best with my son but there's days I don't even want to talk to him or be around him. I get these voices in my head telling me I'm not a good mum and I don't deserve to be his mum. I honestly just want to die and I have stated in a few threads before how I was struggling. My mum used to be a good support but it seems as if she's just really turnt against me. She thinks I'm being a horrible mum she's horrible to me she says I'm a disgrace and not fit to be a mother and I'm scarring my child because of my depression. I tried to tell her how I really felt the other day and all I got was snap out of it ur not fit to be a mother grow up and so much more. She thinks my child's dad is a better parent than me trust he's not. She's so nasty toxic and bitter. She hears me crying my eyes out on the bathroom floor every evening when my little boy goes to bed and all I get is grow up snap out of it look what ur doing on him ur a disgrace. She says life's hard on everyone get up and get on with it we all have "mental health" she says lie there and rot ur a disgrace and u could do a lot more for the child. Ur ruining his life. She is so toxic and no matter how many chances I give her she's not going to change. I can't take it anymore. I'm trying my best with the child but I honestly don't want to be here anymore and he's better off without me. I'm really struggling and she's really hurting me when we used to be so close. :(

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.
We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek real-life help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

Some further support links:

NHS: Where to get urgent help for mental health
NHS: Looking after your mental health
MIND: Coping with mental health problems during coronavirus

CALM: The Campaign Against Living Miserably
NHS: Help for suicidal thoughts

Very best wishes from MNHQ.
