Struggling to see the point in my continued existence

Other than to be a mother for my kids.
I'm so so tired. One or more of them constantly wakes me at night.
I'm crap at my part time job.
I'm pretty crap and grumpy as a mother a lot of the time.
The planet is fucked up so is there any point in continuing, as if I go at least there is one less person using resources.
I don't seem to enjoy anything anymore.
All my friends gradually drift away after a couple of years and I have to make the effort to find new ones - so there must be something deeply flawed about me.
I am scared of dying, but I really think I've had enough.

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.

We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly. Flowers
