I want to kill myself

I am 18 years old and 32 weeks pregnant and I want to kill myself. I am terrified and don't want to do it as I know it will harm my baby but I don't know if I can control myself. I have been given a referral by my Midwife to the mental health team for "low mood" but that will take weeks and I need help now. I don't know what to do. I'm scared. I don't want to hurt my baby. I have also been self harming over the past few days.

I need help now, what do I do? My mum is asleep in the room next door I'm embarrassed and scared to tell her. Will they admit me to hospital? What will they do?

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are 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. You can also go to the Samaritans website, 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.

Please do go and speak to your mum and call your midwife, OP, and do pop back and let us know how you're getting on.
