Can't cope

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post.

I'm really struggling to cope with my life/children - children take up my whole life so not sure where the line is as in can not cope with life generally or just the responsibility?

I have three, 10, 1 and three months. I spend most of the day just weeping and I feel so sorry for them. I go to groups daily which helps but the fact it's half term
Means a lot of them aren't on so we are stuck with nothing to do. They cry incessantly and I just keep thinking I actually don't want to be here anymore.

I'm seeing a therapist and also waiting for an assessment with a psychiatrist but how do I cope in the mean time? I just want practical ways to cope. I do my best in terms of each meal, take them to soft play. Groups. Try and play and of course ensure they are clean and engaged with. But I just feel I'm failing. I'd honestly kill myself if it didn't mean leaving them behind to a life of pain because of it

Hello OP, we're so sorry to hear you are feeling this way - it sounds like a really difficult time indeed.

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'll move this to Mental Health now, which we feel is a more appropriate topic.

Wishing you all the best OP and hope you can access the support you need. Flowers
