I don't think I can do this anymore

This is going to be a self indulgent whinge. I have completely had enough. I have ptsd which is currently making my miserable life unbearable, the medication I take doesn't seem to make any difference anymore. I haven't slept for weeks, I look and feel like utter shite. The kids are suffering because of my complete inability to function.
The gp knows how much I'm struggling but I guess there's nothing they can do.
[* Post edited by MNHQ to remove reference to suicide method]. I can not see a way out of this at all. Oh and to top it off, I have just failed a uni assignment, another failure to add to the list.

Hi OP, we're really sorry to hear you're 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. There are lots of organisations listed which can give you some support.

You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected], or call them, any time, on 116 123. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you'll 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.

You can also get help from a new text service called Shout 85258. Its trained volunteers are available all hours of the day and night to listen and support you to get to a calmer and safe place. Shout is a free, confidential, anonymous service for anyone in the UK and it won’t appear on your phone bill.

And finally, here's a link to Mind's pages on Tips for everyday living.

Just so you know, we've edited your opening post to remove one sentence as we can't allow references to suicide methods. We're also going to move your thread over to our Mental Health topic.

We're glad to see that you're getting some good support from other Mumsnetters and we really hope things start to feel a bit easier for you soon.
