Feel like there is no point In life.

So I've got to the point that I feel there is no point in living. I have children, I'm pregnant with a high risk pregnancy and could give birth very prematurely ( I'm 25 weeks) and I'm a single mum. Kids are hard work and get very little supper. Husband moved in to another woman and I just feel so alone and what's the actual point in carrying on. I know I don't want to die, wouldn't attempt suicide but I just feel what's the point ? Everything just feels so pointless.

Bless, you need additional support. Contact the midwifery team and ask about seeing a mental health specialist midwife.
Being in the later stages of pregnancy with other little ones to care for is hard. You’ve added stresses and a not terribly kind husband.

Do you have family? Sisters or a mother that you could talk to? Maybe speak to GP too.You don’t sound very well at all.

Worse case scenario call the Samaritans and unburden to them. They’ll listen and not judge. Their number is 116 123.

Please consider phoning the samaritans, it sounds like you really need someone to speak to right now. You're not alone. Do you feel safe where you are at the moment? xx

Please don’t suffer in silence op. Give the Samaritans a call if you feel that you can’t confide in a friend at the moment. You have a lot to deal with, so it’s totally understandable to feel as you do,but please don’t give up hope. Good times can’t last forever, but equally bad times can’t either. Take care of yourself x

Hello OP.

You've had good advice here from other users. Do talk to someone. There are loads of people out there whose job it is just to do this. Or give your midwife a call.

If either of those seems too hard, here's a link to our mental health webguide which has lots of numbers you can call where help and support is available.

We do hope things look up soon.

Take care of yourself OP. You need to call your GP or the Samaritans would be better right now due to them being available 24 hours a day.
If you need extra support I highly recommend a charity called homestart that can help you with the children to take the stress off of you.
