Don't want to be here

I just don't want to be here.

I'm autistic and tired and overwhelmed.
I've two kids with different ages and needs. The youngest is RELENTLESS. I love the bones of him but he's driving me to the brink. The weight of long term responsibility for eldest is suffocating.

I am so so tired.

I can't imagine leaving my babies behind without a mum. But I also feel like I'm failing and I can't see how anything will get better.

Me and youngest both ended up in tears before he eventually gave in tonight and I feel terrible. I just don't want to be here. This is not how life should be. It's just too fucking hard.

Two weeks of Easter hols has begun and I just want to disappear but I can't.

Hello OP,
We are really sorry to read 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].

We see that you are getting some wonderful support from other Mumsnetters which 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 RL 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.

Wishing you the very best,
MNHQ💐
