Feeling completely alone

I don’t want a pity party but I feel overwhelmingly alone and it’s been going on for ages.
l try to do hard to live correctly and bring up my children but I have no one to turn to for any emotional support.
My kids father is abusive and has mental health problems, my children don’t listen to me, my mil sometimes completely ignores me, my own mother has made it clear she rather my siblings, my best friend has mental problems so i recently received a load of abuse from her.
i have recently reached out to the doctors for some counselling but the waiting list is long. At the moment i just feel so lost and alone, I’m trying to tell myself that i should accept this and be strong but it’s really hard to do. I feel like I’m pointless and if i didn’t exist no one would really care unless I was needed to do something for them. I feel like I should be glad I have reasonable health and a roof over my head. But I can’t help feeling at times is that all is needed to be happy or am I being a ungrateful.

Sorry you are feeling this way OP. Of course it's not just good health and roof over our heads that makes us happy.. human connections are incredibly important. Its rubbish when you feel alone and unappreciated, but it won't always feel this way. Try to remember all the kind and wonderful things about yourself..and you never know, you may walk out of your front door tomorrow and meet a new person, or change another person's life - you are absolutely meant to be here and your life is incredibly important despite how your family/friends are making you feel right now. Hope you feel better soon x
