Why do I feel like this?

Why do I want to hurt myself and have bad, horrible thoughts when I'm a mum and have responsibilities? I keep thinking I just need to get through to new year, that's all. There's no way I can cope with another year like this, or put my family though anymore stress and worry.

I'm so upset, feel so desperate and finding myself self harming when I don't mean to. I whacked my head on the wall earlier, then scraped my hand with scissors. I can't stop thinking about tablets in the kitchen but I'm not allowing myself to go in there. I don't feel safe, I don't trust myself. I spoke to my cpn earlier.

That's it really, just want to vent, don't expect a response as I've posted similar before and I know it's boring. I'm just alone and shamefully mn is all I have tonight.

I don't know. But you're not alone. I hope you're managing to get some sleep tonight.

Hi. I'm sorry you feel this way. What did your cpn say?

I could've written your op. I've been suicidal for the last week or so. You're doing well to talk to your cpn. She can help you. Mine is rubbish!

Please hang in there. Get help. See your gp. Are you on any medication at all?

Slept badly, sent dd to school even though she's not that well, just so I can have some time to just do nothing. Feel like such a bad mum. Got too much planned for the next few days but I can't do it, feel like I'm going to burn out.

Have you seen your Gp ?

You don't have to feel like this x

I tried recently to make a GP appt, ended up having to see a locum who just gave me a medical certificate. The GP can't do anything as I'm under the care of cmht, who can only refer to crisis team, which I don't find much help. Maybe I do, but being under them scares me. Everything's making me anxious right now.

Do you have therapy?

Hi, do you think the thought of the school holidays is making things a bit worse right now? Can your Cpn arrange extra support to help with your dd over the hols if you need it?

What did the Cpn suggest when you rang her? Does it help?
