Decision time...

So here I finally am with the opportunity to finally note down what occupies so much space not only in my head but in my heart; but where to start? DS has fallen asleep and DD is with her grandmother for a couple of hours so here goes...

Each day I question whether the way I behave, think, feel and look is normal and have come to no conclusion. All I know is that most of the time I seem to lose my internal battles and feel defeated and then begin to wonder how what my end will look like. I wonder whether it will be by my own hand (if I ever finally make up my mind) or by some freak accident or perhaps a long and painful demise...I know only this, that lately I frequently wish it were soon...

I know it sounds terrible, doesn't it? Especially as I look at these words myself. Although I love my children (or at least I think I do) I cannot help my mind from wandering in this direction...I have tried, so very hard and yet I always come back to this feeling of emptiness and pointlessness. I cannot give to others what I would so much like to and I cannot engage with my own children or provide them what they need be that on a financial or emotional level.
It would appear that all round I am a significant disappoint and cause so much trouble to all. My parents' don't understand and truthfully, I feel, never have understood me; perhaps the same is true of my siblings? My poor husband looks worse each day as though his heart is about fail him most likely from stress and coming home to me and an abode in disarray and screaming babies.

I don't want to go to a doctor...so perhaps it's time to call it a day? I have no one to confide in about this.

I think you need to call the Samaritans, they can give you the support and advice that you need.

scurryfunge · 18/04/2010 15:49

Please speak to your doctor -on line advice is not going to assist you a great deal.

paulaplumpbottom · 18/04/2010 15:52

I know that you say you don't want to see a doctor but you need to speak to a professional. They are there to help.

08457 90 90 90

That is the number for the Samaritans.

You are not alone. A lot of people have the same sort of feelings that you are having. I hope that you are able to get the help that you need.

I'm not sure you are thinking this through enough tbh. There's a few things I would like to know if you have time?

How old are your children?

Everyone has hard times, some worse than others, what makes you think you should be allowed to get out of it when everyone else gets on with it, who would hold your bereaved children who will sob uncontrollably day after day because the world they have known comes to an end and they realise that will never be the same again?

Can you imagine your husbands pain and stress of dealing with not just ordinary tantrums and screaming but the pain he can never take away, that a part of them is missing forever?

Please go to the doctors, if not for you do it for your family before you give up forever.

I agree with the others - Samaritans now as they are open. Dr appointment as soon as you possibly can.

It sounds like you really, seriously need help.

If your mind is open to it, try reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, which has changed my life completely (I've suffered from depression most of my life).

Good luck x

MrsWobbleTheWaitress · 18/04/2010 16:00

And also agree that you cannot end your life. I have wanted to no longer live with myself many a time, but the thought of leaving my children motherless has always stopped me. You must think of how your children would cope a) without their mum and b) knowing that their mum had killed herself.

You have to sort this out.

LoveMyGirls · 18/04/2010 16:40

Fading? You ok? I hope you are on the phone to samaritans.
