Name changed. I don't know how to go on. There is something wrong with me for sure, I think probably autism or aspergers. I can't get my life together, no matter how hard I try. I adore my daughter so much and that only compounds the issue because I can't create a good life for her. She can live with her father and my parents. This is an emotional thing in that things are very tough right now, but also systemic - things have been difficult my whole life. I am too strange to function properly. I have no relationships where I can be honest about what's happening to me. I don't want to burden anybody.

Hello @Mi888 - we are so sorry to hear you're feeling so low. This can be a really tough time of year for lots of people for many reasons, but we want you to know that support is out there & you sound like a very loving mum to your DD.

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

We're going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.

Very best wishes from MNHQ.
