This isn’t how things were meant to be...

There’s nothing I’m feeling right about at the moment.
Work is rubbish, far too busy and the Manager dislikes me.
I am married, and whilst he’s a good man we’ve not slept together in a year or two. The relationship is otherwise ok but I feel as the years roll on, we have less in common.I don’t have many friends, I find it hard to make friends and I’m often on my own.
I’ve got kids but I don’t feel we are particularly close. The eldest son lives away and rarely calls. The younger is always gaming.
I’ve considered taking my own life but am scared of it either not working
or being in pain.

I never thought my life would go this way. Please can I ask if anyone understands this at all?

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], though we can see you've called them previously. It's always worth another go though.

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. There are lots more numbers in that contact sheet we linked to above.

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.

OP, we really hope things somehow start to look up for you soon. It really sounds like you deserve more happiness than this. Flowers
