Asking for help has left me feeling suicidal

I've been having relationships issues with my husband. It's left me feeling low and pretty worthless. I posted on MN to try get some perspective. The responses have me feeling even worse. Normally I would call Samaritan but the kids the kids are here and I can't really talk on the phone. Who would have thought asking for advice would make things worse.

Hi @consfusedandlookingforwine, I don't know what you've previously posted about but, remember there can be trolls and all sorts of characters roaming the internet so, don't get caught up with the opinions of strangers. I appreciate you say you can't speak on the phone in front of your children but, I think it is really important that you do speak to someone. Maybe wait until they are in bed to call Samaritans or find an online chat? Samaritans also respond within 24 hours to e-mails. E-mail [email protected].

I'm sorry I cannot offer you any more advice as, I'm not in any way qualified to do so and I also don't know the circumstances but, please don't feel alone or worthless. You are loved and cared about, even if it doesn't feel that way. I'm sure your children would be very update if anything happened to you.

Take care of yourself and keep your chin up Flowers x

OP have you thought of asking your thread to be deleted? I know it's in Relationships now (was it in AIBU before?) but it's still in the trending sidebar and a lot of people won't rtft they'll just continue to pile on. Please don't engage if it's making you feel this awful. It is after all no more than commentary from a bunch of online strangers.
