Why do you feel the need to leave?

Pickafuckinnametheyhaventused · 28/01/2012 13:04

Dp doesnt care
Im not well mentally and he has done nothing to help me or support me despite me telling him how i feel.

Maybe he finds it hard to understand, is he usually more supportive?

Do you have access to mental health team for support?

Pickafuckinnametheyhaventused · 28/01/2012 13:10

He says i shout at him but i do that because he doesnt take any notice of me or show any signs of concern for me.
I dont have access to any support no.

Hi OP

Can you speak to your GP / out of hours clinic / A&E department / local mental health team today? Whereabouts do you live? - can we help find out which clinics and helplines are available in your area? Do you have a social worker?

I understand that you are feeling completely overwhelmed. Do you mean that you want to leave your DP and kids permanently, or that you need a break for a few days/weeks/months? There may be other options. How old are your children? Are they at school? Are you a SAHM or do you go out to work? Does your DP live with you? Is he the DCs' father? Does he work? How much childcare does he do?

Do you have any family or friends who can help you?

Please don't do anything drastic. What has made you post on here today? - sounds as though things have come to a head somehow ...

Sorry to be asking so many questions but we'll be able to help you more if we know a bit more about the situation.

Sorry OP, I x-posted with you.

Can we help you access some help locally?

Have you had a MH diagnosis from a doctor or psychiatrist or are you dealing with this all on your own?

I have another thread on mental health

Kids are 6 and 10
No social worker and wouldnt bloody want one either
I work part time(hilariously i will have to go in mon and act like i am fine)
Dp is the kids dad yes
No point talking to docs as they only want to fill you with drugs.I tried calling yesterday and they couldnt even pass a message on for me to my gp.

Oh hun I feel for you!

1)Its def worth speaking to your HV.
2) the grass is not always greener on the other side
3) men are so diff to us ladies, you need to learn how to speak to him without shouting, believe me i know its easy to say but I find if i speak slowly and clearly to my DH it sinks in better.

If you do decide to leave DC it will most def scar them, my mil is 55 her mum left her and her siblings when she was 8, youngest sibling was 6 months and its damaged them beyond belief. they have all turned to drugs, theft , promiscuity and some even spent time in prison, I'm not saying that it will happen to your DC's but thats how it affected them. all they can talk about when together is how much they miss there mum and how much they would like to know where she is and what she's doing.
