hello.

I was wondering if anyone had ever been through similar and could maybe share their experiences with me. For the last 3 months I have been really suffering with my mental health, I am on sertraline which has helped a bit but I’m so miserable and I don’t know how I can carry on. For the last few weeks I’ve been thinking about how I could kill myself but I can’t bring myself to do it to my daughter (have researched the impacts of suicide on children), I know it’s something she would never recover from and I can’t do that to her. I’ve thought about ways i could make it look accidental but can’t bear for it not to work and for her to think her mum didn’t love her enough to not want to live for her.

I know how incredibly selfish that sounds but I’m just at breaking point. Has anyone ever felt like this before and came out the other side?

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 are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly so that you can get support and advice. Very best wishes from all at MNHQ Flowers
