Wish I could but I can't

Changed name
I wish there were a switch to turn my life off
Should be a way out, but I'm too much of a coward to do the thing it would take, as I don't want pain, I don't want to cause pain, I just want out.
Don't want to have to explain.
There's no answer anyway
Can't phone a helpline coz I'd be overheard
Writing on this, coz it's soundless
Is there a painless way out?

Samaritans have an online chat. Please contact them x

You say you'll be overheard. Are you in any danger right now?

NotACryFirHelp · 26/05/2024 09:16

I'm not in any danger from antithetical than myself....
I can't hurt the feelings of the person I live with, partly because they are very unwell, partly because we promised we would share both good and bad.

I can only tell you about my experience but there have been times in my life where I have not wanted to wake up OP. It was horrible and desperately lonely. However, I'm so glad I did and I'm here today.

I think there are text lines that you can contact so you wouldn't be heard speaking. Text Shout to 85258.

Quite honestly I think it's silly to promise to stay together through the bad times if it's the person who is causing the bad times.

When you say they are unwell do you mean mentally unwell?

Do you have children together?

NotACryFirHelp · 26/05/2024 09:39

No children together
We have loved each other through thick and thin
Just can't take any more
Partner is unwell
I'm unwell
Both of us too unwell to fix house problems
No help available elsewhere
Wouldn't dream of asking, as I have before but was ignored
I've run out of energy and mental motivation

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our www.mumsnet.com/webguide/mental-health Mental Health resources]]. You can also go to the www.samaritans.org/ 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.

We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.
