Pregnant and suicidal

I know the title is awful, I know I am awful, but I cannot help the way I feel. I am so sick, so messed up. But I can't help but feel this way. I am 4 weeks pregnant and I want to die. I've been going through the plans of how to do it in my head for a while now. I just don't see how a person like me can raise a child in this world.

My mother died when I was 8. My father started physically and sexually abusing me when I was 12. He got me pregnant at 15, but I had an abortion. What happened it mny childhood has left me deeply scarred. I didn't have consensual sex until last year.

I'm currently carrying my boyfriend's baby (he doesn't know). But I can't have this child. I cannot. I would make a terrible mother. When my father raped me, he always said how he wanted to make me pregnant and how he wanted me to have his child. Not that I am pregnant again I keep thinking about what happened and it's driving me crazy. Yesterday I scratched my skin on my arm so vigorously it started bleeding because I just couldn't cope. I can't be a mother. And I can't go through another abortion. The easiest way out at this point seems suicide. I know I'm a terrible fucking person - that's two babies I will have exterminated. But I can't do it.

Hi alesiahere

We're so sorry you're feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources - here. You can also go to the Samaritans' website here, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

Sorry for hijacking your thread, alesiahere, and we really hope things start to look up for you soon.
