I'm sorry if this sounds a bit poor me. I just need to get it out as I'm feeling so shaky emotionally. I took an overdose the night before last.
I cleaned the house. I put loads of food down for the cat. I took photos of my kids to bed. And I took a lot of pills with alcohol. I had hallucinations and am only just coming round now. My husband found me and called nhs who told him to take me to hospital. I saw a mental health professional and had all the medical checks . They let me home. I'm now alone again although I guess I will be called by SS this week? The shock of all is hitting me. I feel so sad. What do I do now? Big question probably very hard to answer. I just needed to share as only my husband and medical people know what I've done. Life seems so relentless

Thanks Nina, we've changed the title of the thread.

Hi OP

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.

We really hope things start to look up for you soon.
Kindest to you.
