I'm so tired but if I turn off the tv the thoughts will come and I'll feel worse.

Sorry you are having a bad night. If you want to chat on here I'll be awake for a little bit and I'm sure other people will be a long shortly.
Or try calling Samaritans again in a few minutes.
Take care.

Anyone you could text and ask to talk to them? Or just keep trying the Samaritans. I've never had a problem getting through. You can also email or text them, their website tells you how.

Try them again soon .. We are here Flowers

ThePlaceboEffect · 27/03/2017 23:45

Thank you all.

No, no one I can text. I have no friends as I push everyone away. I just feel like I don't belong here.

I'm here OP.

ThePlaceboEffect · 27/03/2017 23:47

I cam walk around and feel like the rest of the world is on a totally different planet as if I'm there but not.

My family all hate me and think im an awful person. Everything I do just hurts more people.

I'm here too, it's daytime here and I have a sick little one at home so will be on here for a while I'd say if you want to chat Flowers

FataliePorkman · 28/03/2017 00:17

It doesn't matter what other people think- family or otherwise. The only persons opinion that matters is your own OP

MrsDrSpencerReid · 28/03/2017 00:19

Talk to us about what's going on, OP.

WaitrosePigeon · 28/03/2017 00:20

You still there OP?

sandgrown · 28/03/2017 00:24

Have you managed to get through to Samaritans?

OhBlissOhJoy · 28/03/2017 00:35

Keep trying Samaritans OP, they saved my life this weekend. If they are busy now they won't be later. I hope you are ok and have got through to them.

MrsDrSpencerReid · 28/03/2017 00:36

I hope you're talking to someone Flowers

ThePlaceboEffect · 28/03/2017 00:41

Hi everyone.
Thank you all for your messages Flowers
I got through and spoke to someone but ended up hanging up after speaking for a bit as I'm a blubbering mess and couldn't talk anymore Sad the guy was lovely though. Once I've calmed down I may try and sleep or may call them again.
Thanks for being here to get me through Flowers It means a lot to me.

I'm glad you managed to get through to them. Hope you are asleep now. Take care.

MrsDrSpencerReid · 28/03/2017 05:39

Take care OP.
Come back if you need to talk some more Flowers

northerngirl71 · 28/03/2017 11:45

Are you awake OP? We are here . Try and ring them again . Or let us know you are here Flowers for you

I'm not fit to be a parent Sad
I was in bed early yesterday so DD cooked her own tea (whilst testing her recipe for food tech). She burnt her lip testing the food. I should have been watching her.

Just home from work and one of the burners was still on. We could have burned the house down because I'm useless.

I got a fine in the post today because I forgot to tax my car. I can't afford it but will have to pay it as I couldn't cope with court action Sad

To put it simply I fail completely at life.

Your dd sounds supportive and bet she loves you as much as you love her. Grab a duvet and settle on the sofa together. When things are shit our dc remind us why we are needed - and useful - Flowersto you op. . You def aren't a fail.

Wolfiefan · 28/03/2017 19:01

You aren't failing at being a parent. You can't watch a (guessing Secondary school age) child every minute. They need to learn themselves. Mine measured out chilli powder over the tomato soup and tipped half a jar in by mistake. Lesson learnt!
I have actually left a burner on by mistake. Only realised when I went back downstairs late at night to freeze leftovers and didn't put kitchen lights on. And I'm a grown assed woman! Blush
You forgot to tax your car? I reversed mine into something a few weeks ago. We all make mistakes.
One day and one thing at a time OP. And don't be so hard on yourself. Flowers
