I'm not expecting anyone here really to care but I dont at least "tell" someone how I feel I think I might actually try to hurt myself.

I feel trapped & alone even though im in a house with 3 children, a DH, and pets. I cant stop crying, when I do i cant cope with the kids. my eldest DS has adhd & he is so much hard work. I love him but he makes life so difficult that I cant bare to be around him. I know this makes me the worst mother ever. on the flip side to this I spend hours crying because I can't do enough to help him or fix him. hes lovely without friends or understanding from others & im so mad with the world that he so misunderstood. he hates me, he speaks to me like in the scum of the earth, nothing I ever do is right or ever good enough. I dont feel loved by DH hes at work everyday & when he gets home I dont feel enough support. he tries to get DS to understand how he's behaved but DS just gets up set & angry, then I get defensive of DS. I hsve no friends & cant see how I could ever make any when I have nothing to offer. I try to be a good mum & good wife but no matter what I do I still feel unhappy & just wish I was dead.

You sound so sad. Have you anyone to speak to about this?
Can you and DH get some time alone together so you can talk properly, away from the DC?
There is help out there. Tell your GP how you are feeling.
Lots of us have been at a similar point of despair and you can get better.
Take care

So sorry . Lots of people do care. This sounds so hard. Please don't do anything rash. Many on here will understand what you are going through. Please contact your gp. Call the Samaritans if you need to talk. Can you just get out for a walk? You need help and support. Please reach out for it.

Sorry, that didn't come across right.
You can get better but you need help to be able to do that. You are not a failure, you are going through a tough time and need a hand, practically and mentally.
You've taken the first step by posting on here.
And people do genuinely care about you. Anyone who has been at that point of despair knows what you are going through.
Never forget you are a unique and valuable person, even if it doesn't always feel like that
