To think if I weren't a parent, I would kill myself today?

Hello Graceful, 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]. Perhaps this will be a less anxiety-provoking experience than ringing? You could just cut and paste what you've written here?

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 have moved your thread to MH now, Graceful, we hope you don't mind. And we're so sorry that you've been taken so low. These are anxiety-provoking times at the moment, it's hard. Much love. Deep breaths.
