For the first time in my adult life I just don't want to wake up tomorrow

I just feel done.
I'm a student, working full time on placement, two children, single parent, dc is a school refuser and I have to spend up to two hours trying to get her into school each morning. I'm late nearly every day, have to stay late to catch up.
I'm failing at my uni work despite getting a first in my first few assignments. I have a great academic tutor but he can't solve all my problems.
I'm skint. Super skint. Don't know how I'm going to put money in my car to get to work this week. Pay day isn't until 31st. I won't have any money for Christmas as I haven't been able to save.
I don't have any light at the end of the tunnel. With my daughters needs and increasing reluctance to go to school there's just not going to be any way I can go into my chosen career, I'm just not reliable. I'm going to be back in minimum wage admin jobs, not using my potential. Not doing what I love.
I just feel lost. There's no sign of things getting better. There's no help. I'm not entitled to student finance or UC as I'm being paid a bursary by the department of health, and if I leave I have to pay it back.

Hi everyone. We've had a few reports and so would like to share our usual cautions on threads involving financial hardship. Right now we can't see any evidence to indicate that the OP isn't above board – if we did, we'd remove the thread straight away. But the truth is that, sadly, we at MNHQ can't know with 100% certainty that any poster is genuine, no matter who they are or how long they have been here. As frustrating as it is, we're not able to vouch for anyone here.

So we always ask users to remember that not everyone on the internet is who they say they are – and remind folk not to give more to another poster, either financially (in cash or gifts) or emotionally (in time or care and support) than they'd be prepared to lose if things went wrong. We strongly advise against parting with any cash or giving away your personal details, and if you receive a PM that makes you uneasy - report it to us and we’ll take a look.

Sorry to hijack your thread briefly there, OP – we really hope things get easier for you. Please also take a look at our Mental health webguide where you can find some links to support IRL.
