I just can't do this anymore

I have a long history of depression and I'm currently suffering with PND. The last few days I've been really low. Yesterday my DP had his covid vaccine and he feels unwell so is in bed. I'm looking after 3 DC on my own whilst feeling suicidal. I just can't do this. I know I have to. I know I have no choice but I just want to stop and break. Where my DP is physically unwell, that obviously trumps my mental illness. I have the number for the crisis team but I can't call them as I can barely get a spare minute (typing this has been stop start to deal with things for the DC) and even if I could, what's the point? I can't go anywhere or do anything to make it any better because I have to look after the DC. I just want to give up. I already have in mind that today is the last day I'll spend with my DC as I don't intend to be here past tomorrow. As soon as my DP is out of bed I can just give up.

Hello OP, 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 and it does sound like you need to talk to someone right now.

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 really hope things get better for you, OP and you are able to access the support you deserve. Flowers
