Nobody cares

[FightingWithTheWind]

I'm not coping, my flat is disgusting, my children are suffering, I've aaked for help, I take twice the amount of sertraline that I'm prescribed just to try and feel a little better and it doesn't work, I haven' t heard from any mental health team since october despite my GP chasing them up. I can't ring the crisis line because I have my children here and I can't do anything but I keep thinling it would be so easy to end it all. I have work later, nobody at work will think somethings off if I don't show up - I'm not important my job certainly isn't important, my partner wouldn't expect me home till 9, maybe later. Nobody would be looking for me, nobody would really care afterwards.

Sorry you're feeling this way and I'm sorry no one else replied to you, which has probably reinforced your feelings. No one replied to my post either.
This site has gone downhill badly and people are more concerned with 'exciting' posts and gossip and it's very clicky.
There is a site called The Mighty that gives a lot more support and your questions are answered quite quickly, I think you'll find it better over there.

Good luck

Your children would care. Your partner would care. They would all be absolutely devastated. You ARE important. Please believe that.

Hi, I'm so sorry you are feeling this way OP. Depression tells us the most horrible lies, your children would care and others I'm sure. I know it is so frustrating having to chase for help but please speak to your GP again, especially about your dose as that sounds worrying to be taking more than prescribed. You'll already know this but The Samaritans too. Could you ring the crisis team when you are not at home? Or if your partner took the kids out for a bit over the weekend? This is such a stressful time. Try to be kind to yourself and I hope you get the help you are looking for.

85258 - text SHOUT. They're a free service to help you with depression via text. I don't know you OP but trust me when I say, you are the world with a cherry on top to your kids. Please, please get the help you deserve

You are important and people do care. Its just when we get clouded like this it is sometimes hard to see that.
I really hope your day has improved a bit.

Could your work offer help with occupational health? When I was really poorly, my work got me into see them because the mental health team were dragging their feet.This was before covid. They didn't really do much, but just being listened to and understood helped massively.

I latch on to this quote when I drop so low: "this too shall pass"
I hope this passes quickly for you, and I really hope your day got a little brighter.

I care OP. Everything feels so bleak now but you will get through this. Brighter days will come and your children and partner would care too. Please consider contacting Samaritans, they are amazing.

You are not alone x

I forgot to give you the number. Sending lots of hugs x

No advice OP but sending hugs

OP are you ok? Xxxxx

Please call the crisis line. If you're thinking about suicide and contemplating plans and timelines, you need (and DESERVE) support. 🖤

Hello there, 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 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
