To adopt 'D'H's life philosophy...

...of 'I can, but I just don't want to'.

For context, I have type 1 bipolar disorder. I've struggled massively with it for the past few months, mainly because I do fucking everything. I've been taken to hospital for emergency assessment twice in 2 months. I am depressed and exhausted.

We have 2 DC. I bear the mental load of absolutely everything. 'D'H complains about money constantly, spends every spare second gaming, watching gaming tutorials on YouTube, talking to his gaming buddies about gaming, or ordering crap from eBay.

He irons DS1's school uniform, and this makes him a prince amongst men, because he doesn't need to be asked to do it.

I'm at the end of my tether. I'm suicidal with depression. I'm exhausted but never rest.

Hello, CelebratedOysterGlutton,

We're so sorry that you're feeling this way at the moment.

When these threads are flagged to us we like to add a link to our Mental Health resources in case they might be helpful.

You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is fantastic, and we really hope you've found some comfort from their kind words - 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 are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly. Flowers
