I'm at the end of my rope

I'm blatently posting here for traffic. I have been a regular user but this is a new name.

I don't know what to do or how much longer I can go on. I think I'm having a breakdown. But I can't. I have 3 small kids. And a business employing 8 people. That's 8 families to feed. I have a pre existing medical condition that means I live in constant physical pain that's getting worse by the day. I think I've had long Covid since April. And I'm in the deepest of depressions that I can no longer imagine coming out of. In fact I'm heartily sick of this roller coaster ride of being okish and then hanging on for dear life.

My genuinely darling husband is lost too and doesn't know what to do. He's trying but he doesn't seem to realise that I can no longer put one foot in front of the other. In fact, I'd rather not. I'd like to just stop now. Two of my three kids would be ok long term. One would never be ok again amd that's all that's keeping me here. Barely.

Hi OP,

We're so sorry you're 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 - here. You can also go to the Samaritans' website here, 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 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.
