Is there anyone else you can call? If not call the samartians or if you think you may do something please call 999

Crawling · 22/10/2013 10:38

I can't call 999 when I have the kids as there is no one to look after them.

If you think you may harm yourself you can call them they will make sure the kids are looked after. Right now is there anyone in RL you can speak to- neighbour/call a friend anyone? If not can you call Samaritans

Wishfulmakeupping · 22/10/2013 10:45

Will it help to talk on here OP? X

KiplingBag · 22/10/2013 10:55

You need to present yourself at A and E if you are seriously considering taking an overdose.

You need to think about your children being home alone if you did this.

Or call your GP, a neighbour or anyone. Speak to someone in real life asap as your children are in danger.

Good luck.

Wishfulmakeupping · 22/10/2013 11:24

Op have you contacted someone?

anon2013 · 22/10/2013 11:30

Please call The Samaritans OP on 08457909090. They are totally anonymous and can listen.

trish5000 · 22/10/2013 11:39

I am concerned about you Crawling. x

GrippingArms · 22/10/2013 11:41

Crawling talk to us until 1pm

put a dvd on for the DCs, make them a plate of sarnies and crisps and tell them they're playing cinemas

KiplingBag · 22/10/2013 11:43

Crawling - you say you cannot call 999 as there is no-one to look after them. Who would look after them if you took an o/d. This does not make sense.

I hope you and they are receiving some care now x

HardFacedCareeristBitchNigel · 22/10/2013 11:45

If you call 999 your children will be cared for. Social services will arrange emergency foster care for them. Please get some help xx

Weegiemum · 22/10/2013 11:48

I'm here listening (because I've been where you are, I know what it's like!).

Please just take some time with your children, and keep talking to us. We can get you through until 1pm!

ScreamingNaanAndGoryOn · 22/10/2013 11:51

Aww Crawling - I'm so sorry to hear that you're still feeling so bad and at the end of your teather.

Is there anything you can do at all to try and distract yourself? Get the kids into their coats and shoes and take them out for a walk - even if its just to the shop for a lolly or something. I know its easier said than done, but it could help and also pass the time until someone comes to see you at 1pm.

Those three lovely children of yours need their Mum. I know how horrible it is when you can't see any other way out, but hang in there.

You're a fab poster. I've chatted to your lots before and you're just going through a really, really rough time. Hang in there xx

ScreamingNaanAndGoryOn · 22/10/2013 11:54

Actually - lets have a chat about stuff. Tellme about your family.

How old are your DCs? Are they all under school age? I couldn't cope with one preschooler, let alone more. You must be doing something right there :)

I have a kid with ASD too. They're quite exceptional aren't they! Tell me about yours.

IfIDontKnowAndYouDontKnow · 22/10/2013 11:56

Op.. I know this is considered good form or whatever, however I briefly looked at your other threads.
It appears you have had a shock yesterday in regards to your ex. Thanks I'm sorry you didn't seem to get many replies. Sometimes that can make you feel alone,so I sympathise. Sometimes these things just get missed in all the traffic on here.
Any how. Please update us on how you are now. Have you got any friends/ family near by? A neighbor perhaps? Dont be scared to call for help Crawling
Agree with pp ^^ about emergency services helping with the children. It makes sense to call 999. I dont suggest driving at the minute.

IfIDontKnowAndYouDontKnow · 22/10/2013 11:57

good form = bad form Sorry

IfIDontKnowAndYouDontKnow · 22/10/2013 12:01

Crossed posts. Ahh A MN'er you're familiar with. Screaming seems to understand you quite well. This is good. Hope this helps you feel slightly better crawling

Second the suggestion to go out. If you dont feel up to it, maybe the garden? Throw their wellies on and let them loose! Give yourself some fresh air too. Even if you just throw open the windows.

Keep talking to us OP

Crawling · 22/10/2013 12:17

Crawling · 22/10/2013 12:39
