I can't do another lockdown.

I'm sitting here knowing that we are very likely going to go into another lockdown, listening to my children playing knowing that I can't go through another lockdown. I don't want to leave my children, I love them with all my heart which you probably won't believe because how can I say I love them but also know that I'd rather end my life than go through that again. I'm not even upset, I've just accepted that this is it. I can't reach out for help, I was barely getting help before the last lockdown, and then nothing when it happened and nothing since there is no help. There never has been. I know that if lockdown doesnt happen then alot more people will die, and so it is incredibly selfish of me to be so angry, but I am angry. I am angry and scared and I can't see another way out, I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel and I know I am a coward so I can't face another lockdown. I don't even know what the point of this post is, I am just angry and so scared, and I'm tired and I'm not strong enough to do this again, even for my own children.

@CarrotCakeCrumbs we're so sorry to hear you're feeling this way. It really is an incredibly tough situation for so many people - you're definitely not alone. We're sad to see that you've been unable to get help in real life but we hope you won't give up on this. Do check out some of the orgs listed in 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.
