Feeling like I can’t go on

Hi,
Long term depressive, worsened with the death of my mum to covid on Christmas Day leaving me with ptsd. On citalopram 40mg and propranolol 80mg. I just feel so low and like I don’t want to be here anymore. I’m married, husband is supportive with two kids. The only reason I haven’t hurt myself already is because of the kids, they’ve been my protective factor but now I’m feeling so low at the thought I’ve got to live for - well, a long time really and there’s nothing but feeling like this to look forward to. I cried myself to sleep last night. I normally love reading but I haven’t been able to settle into reading since mum died.
I just don’t know what to do. I’ve had CBT before and am waiting on counselling now. Do I go back to my GP? I just feel awful, I really do.

Hello OP. We're 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.

Very best wishes from all of us at MNHQ Flowers
