Run as far away from here as I possibly can

Write it all down if you feel like you can and then at least it's out of your head.

I've been there in the past. And, oddly enough, have been having similar feelings in the last few days - is it a phase of the moon I wonder? Tell us about it.

tulips · 13/06/2007 19:55

I'll never get it all out of my head

I wish I could

But I can't

Start at the beginning or start at the end - nobody minds. Is it a problem with DCs or partner or something which happened a while ago?

tulips do let someone on here help you.You are not alone and will probably find great comfort in telling someone your problems.No one is going to judge you, there is nothing to be scared of on here.

MarshaBrady · 13/06/2007 20:00

maybe just one small thing, how many children do you have? is your dh\dp around?, sorry im not being nosey im concerned.
Ive been like you have in the past and its terrible. I clammed up, lasted for abuot a year it was horrifying. But there was a way out, and found mn helped me btw
Thought i was mad too, youre not it feels like it though

Hey hon, have you thought of phoning the samaritans or parentline? I phoned the samaritans once years ago and the call just turned everything around in my head for me. Although I just cried for most of it, it was so helpful to talk to someone who didn't know me.

tribpot · 13/06/2007 20:01

Start anywhere. Like, how about:

  • if you could leave tonight, just for tonight, where would you go and what would you do?
lulumama · 13/06/2007 20:02

you could call the samaritans, or you can email them i think
see your doc, your HV or someone soon....you can present at A&E and see a psychiatrist if you feel you are going to harm yourslef

hang on in there x

tulips · 13/06/2007 20:03

I have 2 DC with health problems

My DH is dying

I have mental illness

I can't carry on any more

tribpot · 13/06/2007 20:05

That's a shedload. Anyone would feel like you do.

Are you getting any support in real life? Are you in touch with your local branch of the Carers Org?

tulips · 13/06/2007 20:08

I am under the wing of the community mental health team

But they can't help

I wan't to just abandon everyone

I am feeling very selfish right now

reikizen · 13/06/2007 20:11

Please speak to someone who can help. We are all there for you but you have a very heavy load and need the right people to help you carry it.

Scootergrrrl · 13/06/2007 20:11

I'm not suprised you want to run away from all that What is the outlook for your DH?

tulips · 13/06/2007 20:13

I have tried speaking to so many people

No one can help

I just have to manage as best I can

All I want to do is go

How slefish is that?

I hate myself for feeling this like

But I have just had enough

OP posts:
Scootergrrrl · 13/06/2007 20:14

I agree that no-one can actually change the desperately sad situation you're in but talking might make you feel a tiny bit better

tulips · 13/06/2007 20:19

I have been in therapy today

Talking talking talking

Nothing takes away the fact that I still have responsibilities that I cannot cope with

I am getting drunk in the hope that I will forget about it all and wake up and it will all be gone

OP posts:
lulumama · 13/06/2007 20:20

can you call your CPN?

therapy today might have opened something up you are finding it hard to deal with

do i 'know' you?
