You can be the first to know that I always think it is a lazy journalist or someone collecting stories for a wank bank when they ask for secrets but don’t go first.

How much I hate certain people. I would genuinely open champagne if they died in the most agonising way possible.

I had doubts about marrying DH. I didn't want to, but was pregnant, so was convinced to go along with it.

Do you still regret marrying him? How long has it been?

@Guttedandblue there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel, I promise you.
I've been where you are and I know how all consuming it is. I had planned my suicide after years of crippling mental illness and was at peace with my decision, thinking that I would be better off out of this world.
Last minute, I realised I had an appointment for a massage and decided it would be rude to let them down so went to it.
As soon as I walked in, she knew I wasn't ok and spent hours talking to me and talked me out of it.

I am so so so glad she took that time with me and saved me.
I genuinely believed that my life would never improve as I was in the darkest place but it's 11 years later and my life now is so much happier than my life then.
I have a husband and two wonderful children and have been mentally stable for 9 years...something I didn't believe was possible for me.

If you leave this earth now, you are robbing yourself of all the future joys that are yet to come.
Believe me, I know that right now things may feel bleak and the pain you're feeling is all you can see but I assure you, things can and will get better!
Please speak to someone. Get some help and love from the people around you.

I don't know you but I'm rooting for you 💖

Are you happy you did?

I have to shave my face and neck every day. I don’t have PCOS so I don’t know what it’s from but it’s been a daily occurrence since I was 13 years old.

Yup

@brassandswitch I have trichotillomania too. My hair never grew back, other than short tufts and bald patches. It's hideable and I've got hair powder to cover the bare bits, and I can wear my hair in a parting now after 30 years of hiding it.

My parents are still angry with me for doing it.

We're so sorry you're feeling this way @Guttedandblue
We can see that you've already been given a lot of good advice and support from other Mumsnetters, but we just wanted to add some links to organisations which may be able to give you some help in real life too.
First of all, here's a link to our Mental Health resources. There are many organisations listed which can provide you with some support. If you're feeling very low, you can contact the Samaritans, any time, by emailing [email protected] or by calling 116 123.
You can also get help from a text service called Shout 85258. Its trained volunteers are available all hours of the day and night to listen and support you to get to a calmer and safe place. It's a free, confidential, anonymous service for anyone in the UK and it won’t appear on your phone bill.
And finally, here's a link to Mind's pages on Tips for everyday living and How to improve your mental wellbeing.
Sending good wishes. We really hope you're okay.

I saw a squirrel in the garden and I haven't told a soul about it - until now.

It was grey.

ItsFreedomBabyYeah · 26/01/2025 22:13

@Beryl23 Shit no! That's what makes it so bitter-sweet. If only I'd trusted my gut.

ItsFreedomBabyYeah · 26/01/2025 22:14

@crockofshite Regret. Every day. It's been 19 years. Worst decision I ever made.
