I’m not sure why I am here. But I am close to breaking. I am already on antidepressants and have been for years. I am lonely and all alone at 37. I’m single and have no children. I have little family. I find it very difficult to share and a lot of the time feel like a wind up toy, wind me up and I’ll say what you want to hear. I have been single a long time, I would like children but realize that probably won’t happen now. I can’t cope with another thirty or forty years feeling like this. I live alone, I work full time. I spend my days off alone.

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 real-life 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.

Some further support links:

NHS: Where to get urgent help for mental health
NHS: Looking after your mental health
MIND: Coping with mental health problems during coronavirus

CALM: The Campaign Against Living Miserably
NHS: Help for suicidal thoughts

Very best wishes from MNHQ.
