Feeling very suicidal today

I am reluctant to post here because I never post on forums and am always the last to ask for support but I am really struggling. I am feeling really low today. I feel absolutely useless as a person and like I am no use to society and this has been said to me in the past.

I'm 37 now and been disabled due to an accident that happened when I was just 19 years old. My disability is a hidden one and as a result I have just been labelled as lazy.

I have no friends, any friends I did have just left when things got tough. I have tried time and time again to join things but it never leads to anything more. I have gone into myself so much and even more so the last 2 years since lockdown. I have very little support. My parents are great but they have their own worries and I don't want to feel like I'm a burden. I already see a therapist and that helps to a degree but it still doesn't help the loneliness or the self loathing.

I am just really struggling to go on lately and to hang on to any bit of hope and I feel pretty pathetic for feeling sorry for myself when there are so many other things going on in the world right now.

Hi Turkishdelightchocisace,

We're sorry to hear things are so tough for you right now.

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 hope things look a whole lot brighter for you soon.
