A year ago my life was ok. Decent wage coming in, 2 children, happy, no mental health problems.

Fast forward over the worst 9 months of my life. 3 months of worry that we were going to end up with no jobs, fearful every day of catching CV as we are vulnerable, threatened with fines if we don’t send children into the Covid factories and I find out tomorrow if my dad is going to die of cancer. Can’t even hug my family in case I give them CV as they are more vulnerable than me.

I regret ever bringing children into this shitty life, where no joy ever makes up for the pain. And if I didn’t have them I wouldn’t have to be here either. But now I’m stuck. Just about surviving each day with no end to this in sight.

Hello OP, we're so sorry to hear you are feeling this way - it sounds like things have been incredibly difficult.

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 RL help and support as well.

We are also going to move this to the Mental Health topic, where we hope you'll continue to receive support from other Mumsnetters.

Wishing you all the best OP and hope you can access the support you need. Flowers
