So confused

I’m really confused between being depressed and intrusive thoughts? Up until recently I was told I had anxiety with lots of intrusive thoughts thrown in. But over the last couple of months my thoughts are horrendous, mainly about me killing myself and not being here to look after my two year old son. It breaks my heart. I get up fine in the morning and am usually ok until the evening hits then I feel so low and the thoughts really rank up. I just don’t understand. I’ve never been on medication for it and my therapy ended ages ago. A bit of background info is that I had PND after the birth of my son (very hard labour and multiple issues when he was newborn), lots of financial issues so now living with MIL. Could this be contributing? I just don’t know anymore I can’t make sense of any of it.

Very sorry to hear that OP. I don't have experience of intrusive thoughts, so don't want to offer advice in case it's wrong. However, the Samaritans are a great resource if you need help.

Hi OP,

We're 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.
