Can’t tell whether my family would be better off without me

How can you tell?
I’m so depressed I must be an awful person to be around. I do all the practical things for my dc but I hate almost every aspect of my life so there’s no joy in any of it.
I can’t get help because there’s nothing in the nhs and when I tried to see a counsellor privately I kept having panic attacks just thinking about it. Only ever leave the house to go to work or to taxi the dc.
It’s a living hell. I’m too frightened to live but too frightened to die too.

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.

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.
