What will happen if I tell my GP I'm feeling suicidal?

Just that really. As a backstory to give context I was having treatment for PND and psychosis in 2019, and in early 2020 was discharged into a peer support group. Before it really started the first lockdown started and I was then sort of just left to get on with it, while homeschooling three kids.
Since then I've had periods of Insomnia, panic attacks and my hair falling out from stress. I've tried speaking to my GP and they arent really interested, they prescribed sleeping tablets for a while but wouldn't see me face to face. I've reached a point where I'm just exhausted of struggling. I can barely interact with my kids except on a basic level I'm so low, and I feel so guilty because of this. They deserve better, better than what I can give them.

I want to phone my GP and tell them but what will happen??

Hello OP - we're so sorry you're feeling this way. Flowers
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 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
