#dearmumsnet

Thank you for all the help, support, handholds and 's I had during the darkest, loneliest period of my life. It was 3am, i was suicidal, had a baby asleep on me with my tears soaking his sleep suit and this board was the only place I could think of. I had post after post from people letting me know I wasn't alone and urging me to get help in the real world.

Three years later I am still here and life is good.

Thank you!

It's not completely a viper's nest here glad you're doing better!

#dearmumsnet posting on AIBU has stopped me being a dick url

Irl in real life

What a lovely thing to read I'm so glad it worked out for you!

#dearmumsnet thank you for making me realise that co-sleeping could be done safely, didn’t make me a bad mum and could help me cope with a baby that woke frequently.

#dearmumsnet thank you also for making me realise that I wasn’t doing anything wrong by following my instincts rather than the trendy baby routine gurus that were spouting bad advice when my baby was little

@TireSwing

glad to hear you’re doing so well Tire.

I am glad that you found the support you needed, OP.

#Dear Mumsnet , thanks for the Stately Homes thread, thanks for help when my kids reached 16 and became difficult, thanks for being there when I had anxiety attacks and thanks for support when I had my hysterectomy.

#Dearmumsnet, this platform has provided me with some great support with my breastfeeding issues as well as a few other major problems in my life.

It's down to some of the lovely people here who gave me invaluable advice when I was in debt on ways to tackle it and start living more responsibly. The advice has stuck and I'm now in a much better position.
I would never have spoken to my friends irl about this as I was just far too ashamed.

So thanks for making a difference to me at least!

On a more flippant note, #dearmumsnet thank you for pointing me in the direction of the "perfect waterproof bum-covering coat" - still going strong nearly 8 years later.

Also, I love this thread. Something positive coming out of something so negative.

#DearMumsnet thank you for being here when I’m alone after the DC are in bed and DH is at work. Thank you for being somewhere to retreat to when I’m tired of life and other people

#dearmumsnet thank you for all the learning I've got to do on here about absolutely everything.

Thank you for not censoring opinions I don't necessarily agree with.

Thanks for not being fluffy and twee.

#dearmumsnet thank you for trusting women to be the community others need, when they need to give some honest truths to someone, for the sake of their or other's wellbeing.

#dearmumsnet thank you for allowing other women to teach me all about unsanitised feminism

#dearmumsnet thanks for providing a space for me to learn about baby led weaning, getting the best school run coat ever and knowing whether to eat leftovers past a certain date safely Etc!

#dearmumsnet thank you for listening and giving advice when PND had me in it's grasp. Thank you to the poster who called my HV for me and told them I was suicidal, then offered to drive 100 miles and sit with me.

Thank you to all the posters who kept me talking while I waited for the crisis team. And gave me a reason to stay.

Thank you for making me believe I could do it. I could and I did.

#dearmumsnet thank you for having a sense of humour, thank you for not censoring free speech, thank you for helping me with my battles against anxiety and PND, thank you for reigniting my passion for feminism.

It's not completely a viper's nest here

Yes it is Sneaky - but we are very compassionate vipers who know when to curb our fangs.

So glad that you are feeling better OP.

Have some - and feel better still.

Oh how lovely, bless you
