I can’t cope anymore.

Hello,

I am new to this site, I guess I have joined because I need to reach out myself.
I am really struggling, I’m a single parent of two, if that isn’t stressful enough, the added pressures of this cost of living crisis is just pushing me over the edge.
I don’t have any support, it’s just me and my two children, and I’ll be honest, I don’t know how I’m getting by on a day to day basis.
I’ve reached out to a few different professionals, but still awaiting some actual support. I imagine there is a lot of people needing some extra support in these times, but having to wait whilst feeling so low makes all those dark thoughts more viable by the hour.
I can’t see a way through this, my children deserve so much better than what I can give them. I’ve wrote them letters explaining how Mum just can’t do this any more. I hope one day they will understand, the pressure was just too much.

Hello An0n0mous,
Welcome to Mumsnet, we can see that you received some lovely support last night and are hoping that things look a little brighter this morning. We are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way right now.
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 do see that you've been in touch with the Samaritans before, but there's the website anyway in case you need to reach for it.
Sending heartfelt love and concern. flowers
