Feel like I've reached the end of the road. Don't want to be alive anymore

The whole thing is a long story and I'm sorry that I just don't feel up to telling it all right now. First went to see my GP 3 months ago and got signed off work - in that time I have tried an antidepressant, had three assessments with local mental health services, gone on the waiting list for several talking therapies before I finally decided to just pay to go private about a month ago. Nothing has made me feel even slightly better - to be honest things have just gotten so much worse. Thought I was suicidal back in november but that was nothing compared to now. I am just so tired, I get no enjoyment from anything and even just getting out of bed each morning feels like a massive ordeal. To be honest I feel like I have made my mind up that I just want to kill myself, but something always keeps stopping me at the last minute. I'd been planning for weeks to go through with it last Friday - I needed to go into town to buy something I needed. I had a GP appointment on Friday which I thought would get me up and dressed and into town but wouldn't actually go to the appointment. Something made me go to the appointment though, told him how I feel. My GP was great and convinced me to give something else a go. But mental health services contacted me again later that day with nothing like what I had agreed with GP - in fact they offered me nothing at all. My husband called them back to have a bit of a moan and they said they would call me today with more options - of course I've had no call from them today. Lovely GP called around lunch time to see how I was/what the plan was. Explained what had happened and I was waiting for a call - GP has said he will ring me again tomorrow.

That was a lot longer than I thought. But basically - I feel 100% sure that I just don't want to be alive anymore. I have a plan that I know will work and I can actually see myself going through with. I keep thinking I will just wait and see what happens next appointment/phone call but I always regret it because nothing happens. I feel so angry at myself for going to the appointment on Friday. Keep thinking I shouldn't be here anymore and deal with this shit. Doesn't seem to be any point asking for help because nobody thinks I deserve it. I just don't know what to do. Well, I do - I want to die, but I just can't go through with it and I hate myself for it.

Hello soakedonsplash,

We really are so terribly sorry to hear how you're feeling right now.

As the other users have said we would always advise you to seek support in real life from friends or family.

We hope you don't mind, but when threads like yours 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.

Good Luck holding the faith and hoping for better days ahead for you
Flowers from MNHQ
