Every night for the past six months I've researched suicide,the various methods,easiest, quickest,least painful,most painful, child psychology on kids who have had mothers commit suicide,how it affects children and different family members, getting affairs in order,leaving a note. Subconsciously I have been cleaning and decorating the house the garden and sorting out things for my children, appointments etc with the thoughts of having everything tidy and ready for my suicide .Here's the thing, I know I'll never do it. I just couldn't, my children's faces stop me every day.My life is lonely, sad,hard and relentless,luck is not my friend.Things arent going to change.People have so many plans for after lockdown ,I haven't a single plan, fact is I've lived an extreme version of lockdown for the best part of five years.
Its strange but the thought of suicide keeps me going. Wanted to share as I'd never in real life.

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 real life 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.
