I hate my life.

I'm 30. Came out of an abusive relationship, no money, on 25k a year living in one bedroom with a toddler with a parent I tread on eggshells around. Get £40 child maintenance a week, £950 outgoing a month on childcare. I have no money, can't afford to buy a house, have loans from family court fees so can't even afford to rent. Been told the list for council housing could be years. I feel like I'm constantly worried about money, can't get my son nice things or go anywhere nice. My ex has an order of no contact from the court so I can't ever get a break. I'm starting to feel suicidal and like I'll never get out of this mess. Life is shit basically. It's so shit that I dread getting up in the morning. I'm full of regret and hate myself. I'm on anti depressants and have been waiting 6 months for counselling. I see people on here looking at houses and feel so sad because the bank can only loan me 47k on my income and with my outgoings. Someone please tell me what the point of this life is?

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are 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
