This sounds really awful and deep, but has anyone else felt like suicide is the only option at the moment? I'm so depressed and anxious and think there is no other way out of it. What's stopping people? How have people gotten out of this awful hole?

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 real-life 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.
Some further support links:
NHS: Where to get urgent help for mental health NHS: Looking after your mental health MIND: Coping with mental health problems during coronavirus
CALM: The Campaign Against Living Miserably NHS: Help for suicidal thoughts
Very best wishes from MNHQ.
