I don’t have anyone to talk to in real life.
I cry all day every day. I’m just existing so my kids don’t have to grow up without a Mum. My husband is great but he’s at a loss because I can’t bring myself to tell him that I want to die.
I hate myself so much. My life is great but I just want to die. I don’t want to be here anymore. I don’t want to phone the crisis team because wtf are they gonna do.

Hi LidFlipper,

We're so sorry that you're feeling this way.

We're sure you'll get some good support from other Mumsnetters, but we thought we'd also add a link to our Mental Health resources as there are many organisations listed which could give you some more support in real life. The Samaritans are there for you too, by emailing [email protected] or calling 116 123, any time.

If you don't feel you can talk on the phone, we also wanted to let you know about a new text service called Shout - please click on this link for further information - giveusashout.org. Shout 85258 is a free, confidential, 24/7 text messaging support service for anyone who is struggling to cope. They can help with a range of issues including anxiety and depression or if you're feeling overwhelmed.

Keep talking here, OP. There are lots of Mumsnetters who'll know exactly what you're going through right now. We really hope you're okay.

Hi again LidFlipper, we don't want to bombard you with links but as you've said your baby is just nine months old we thought it might help if we point you in the direction of an organisation called PANDAS Foundation which was set up to support families through pre- and post-natal depression. Their webpage is here and they have a free helpline, available 7 days a week, from 11am-10pm - 0808 1961 776. They can also provide support by email.

And finally, here's a link to Mind's information on Postnatal depression. It's an online booklet which has suggestions on what you can do to help yourself and your baby. It also explains what support is available and includes information for friends and family. Please do take a look.

Hi @LidFlipper we're definitely not going to ban you for that! Please do keep talking on this thread - you'll likely find more support and advice here than on the other boards Flowers
