AIBU to think I must be missing something?

There must be something I’m missing about life. I see all these happy people and all I do is feel unhappy and cry.
I’m not getting anything right. DH is our tonight both DC cried when they realised that he wouldn’t be back for bedtime and both said they didn’t want me, they wanted daddy.
We went out for a nice child-free lunch last weekend and I tried so hard to be smiley but then got myself into a bit of a food coma and got told I’d ruined it because I was trying hard enough.
I got told at work that certain things aren’t good enough even though I work stupid hours to try and keep up to date.
There’s not one part of my life that I’m worth anything in.
At least if I wasn’t here the mortgage would get paid because I’ve got life insurance.
I used to make such an effort with clothes and hair and make up. Now I just look like a grump because what’s the point when I’m overweight and look crap anyway.
I don’t want to be this sad anymore. I want to be happy and care about things and fix things but it all seems insurmountable.
I don’t even know what I’m expecting anyone say. I just thought it might feel better if I wrote it down but it turns out it just makes me cry again 🙁

Hello there OP, we're so sorry to hear you're having a rough time of it. Flowers

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected].

Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.
