Suicidal today but don’t dare tell anyone

5 replies

I wrote a post the other day on here asking if things get better , and had some lovely people comment on it with their experiences. I have PND. I have a 5 week old .

I’m getting worse and it’s the weekend so I’m even more scared than usual to reach out to anyone . Two of my very close friends know I’m struggling and so does my husband . My husband has been out all day with some friends (which I am ok with ), I’ve come out on a walk with my daughter and I just feel awful. I look at her and I think she deserves so much better than me. My husband deserves a better wife and would my two friends be ok without me as I just burden them with my worries. Who wants a suicidal friend anyway?
I don’t know what to do . I don’t want to kill myself but I don’t want to go on anymore .

We're so sorry you're going through this, OP.

We hope you don't mind, but when threads like this are flagged to us we like to link to some ideas for support. We have some information about postnatal depression, here
We also wanted to share Mind’s information with you – it has practical tips on what you can do when you feel like this and where to get urgent help. Maybe take a look and see if there’s anything which might be helpful right now.

Please do think about exploring some of the options in the links above. Samaritans are there for you too, 24/7, by emailing [email protected] or calling 116 123. You can also see the resources in our Mental Health webguide

Very best wishes from all of us here Flowers Flowers Flowers

Hi PumpkinSpicedLatte,

We're really sorry that you're feeling so very low. We've posted on your other thread - not sure if you've seen our post yet, so we're also posting on this one.

We can see you're getting some good support from other Mumsnetters here, but we'd like to point you in the direction of an organisation called PANDAS Foundation which was set up to support families through pre- and postnatal depression. Their website is here and they have a free helpline, available Monday – Sunday 11am-10pm - 0808 1961 776 - there's more info about the helpline here. We know they've helped many MNers in the past so please give them a call.

The Samaritans are there for you too, by emailing [email protected] or calling 116 123, any time.

We also wanted to share a link with Mind's information on Managing mental health problems with a new baby. It's an online booklet for any parent living with a mental health problem, with suggestions on what you can do to help yourself and your baby. It also explains what support is available and includes information for friends and family. Please do take a look.

We really hope you're okay. Flowers

Hi again PumpkinSpicedLatte,

We're so sorry to hear that you're in a dark place again. We really hope you took comfort from the advice and support you were given by other Mumsnetters last night, and that you were able to go to A&E. You would absolutely not be wasting anyone's time.

We're just going to add some support links again, to save you scrolling back up the thread.

You can contact the Samaritans, any time, by emailing [email protected] or calling 116 123.

You can also get help from a new text service called Shout 85258. Its trained volunteers are available all hours of the day and night to listen and support you to get to a calmer and safe place. Shout is a free, confidential, anonymous service for anyone in the UK and it won’t appear on your phone bill.

There's also the PANDAS Foundation which was set up to provide support through pre- and postnatal depression. Their website is here and they have a free helpline, available Monday – Sunday 11am-10pm - 0808 1961 776 - there's more info about the helpline here. We know they've helped many MNers in the past so please give them a call.

Please keep talking here, too, OP. We really hope you're okay.
