Help I am having a mental breakdown. I need help. I've been self harming, have a plan to kill myself but not a timeline. I have a GP appointment on Friday but I don't think I can wait that long. I don't know what to do.

I posted a little while ago under a name change slipperyslopetodestruction but I can't be bothered to change now. I don't care anymore.

He's not answered any of my messages.

Life seems so pointless and worthless again.

I've written a note on my phone to say sorry and goodbye. I have exhausted all of my options, the only one left is to die. None of the people I can speak to are responding to my written messages, there's no point in phoning.

The problem is ds2 is in his cot, ds1 is in school so I need someone to have them for me. They don't need me in their lives, I'm such a complete fuck up that no one does.

I'm responding Hug

You're in pain. There is life without pain. Finding it will be the most challenging thing you have ever had to do but you MUST do it, and everything you have done so far is testament to your ability to do it.

Your head isn't allowing you to see this and is triggering self-destructive thoughts but it isn't the truth and it isn't real.

RaRaTheNoisyLion · 04/04/2014 13:26

'My children deserve more than me, everyone does.'

And who exactly would that be Hug?

HugAndRoll · 04/04/2014 13:28

Anyone that isn't a complete fuck up. I feel so alone. The one person who promised would be there for me through this won't answer his phone or reply to any of my messages.

'Anyone that isn't a complete fuck up'

So who? Who is that person?

Because you can't just abandon your kids to no-one.

AndIFeedEmGunpowder · 04/04/2014 13:31

I'm so sorry things feel so desolate. We are all willing you to get better and for things to inprove for you Hug. Please contact someone in real life. Samaritans?

You start your course on Wednesday. That's just 5 days away. You can do it.

I know but I need someone in real life. I need my friend.

The boys have their dad and their dad's family. They would never want for anything.

HugAndRoll · 04/04/2014 13:35

I was doing that course with my friend. Without his help I won't get through it.

OP posts:
RaRaTheNoisyLion · 04/04/2014 13:39

Your friend has let you down?

It must be hard to have someone so reliant on them.

Your kids are reliant on you. Now you know how it feels so don't give up on them and let them down.

RaRaTheNoisyLion · 04/04/2014 13:40

If you can't fully engage with life then don't. Just go through the motions, one step at a time until you can get better and get help.

AndIFeedEmGunpowder · 04/04/2014 13:41

This feeling is not forever. It is temporary. It is fixable. A horrendously difficult but tiny bit of your life.

Like zzzzz has said, so many people have connected with you and all thinl the same thing. We can't all be wrong.

SummerRain · 04/04/2014 13:48

Hug, I've been where you are. The dark thoughts and emptiness. I've contemplated ending it as everything was just too dark, recently enough that I am still pulling my self out of that despairing mindframe.

It doesn't last, your life might not change significantly but your mental state will and you'll climb back out of this hole.

Who would protect and guide your children without you? Your husband, you've posted about him before and he doesn't sound like he'd give them the support they'd need, if he can't grasp keeping a computer safe from a sn child how will he keep that child safe from the world? Your mother, who allowed you to be abused and won't support you now... How will she raise two sn kids?

You are their only advocate, their only defense against the world. Their defender from those who don't understand.

If you won't stay alive for yourself, then do it for them Flowers

We're all here for you, and your friend will be too soon... He's struggling too and may just not be able to cope with supporting you right now. That doesn't mean he doesn't love you, just give him time and let him know you'll be there when he needs you just like he has been for you.

Decide what to do about your marriage once you're clear of this low, decisions made when your mental health is so bad are dangerous. Just survive for now, then change things for the better.

HugAndRoll · 04/04/2014 13:53

I know you're all right. I just can't pull myself out of this dispair.

Oh Hug

Call Samaritans now 08457 909090. Just keep talking.

I spent a whole evening on the phone to a samaritan once, I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for that person keeping me on the phone.

I have suicide and self harm in my family, it is painful and I nearly lost a person who is one of the most important in my life. The person she is now is transformed from the person she was then, and I and everyone who knows her is so lucky not to have lost her.

You can't let your family lose you. You can't lose you, there will be a huge Hug shaped hole in the world. Please, please get help, you deserve to be healed and to be ok.

My mum said that some of what I remember from my childhood could be imaginary. I remember every little detail. I was told that I was a difficult child which is why the abuse happened. That no one would put up with me other than H so in essence I'm stupid for not being happy in that relationship.

It was my fault I was thrown down the stairs, made to eat my own vomit, made to pee myself instead of being allowed to use the toilet. There is more but you get the point.

Your friend is not reliant on you nor you on him-thats your illness talking. Your children are and always will be reliant on you whether or not you kill yourself. People on here are not qualified to help you properly-phone the samaritans or your gp please.
