How long do you think it would take to drown in a bath?

[NameChangerNotATroll]

I mean, if you went on your hands and knees and put your face in the water, and held your breath for as long as you could. Then you'd black out and go under the water...

i should go to bed...

keep posting.

You poor soul. I don't know your story but plese dont feel alone, lots of us feel like that sometimes- not that long ago I sat at the top of the stairs trying to work out if I fell, would I definitely die because I didnt fancy disability..... after about ten minutes I got up and went to bed and just got on with things, but sometimes we just implode mentally for a brief moment. Its a sign to get help, is all. A warning not to go any further down that road.

. Rememebr Mn is here any time, we're all happy to listen.

How has your day been? Hope you're alright x

I'm glad you came back, namechanger - take good care of yourself x

named changed how was your day today?

namechanger, another hug for you. Please please listen to the cry for help you made. Go to the doctors, please. You dont need to feel like this.

Just a quick update, seeing as you're all so lovely

Went to see the dr today, it's the first time i've been to see this GP since we moved and she was really, really lovely. She's arranged for me to have some cognitive behavioural therapy, and promised not to put me on AD's (i wouldn't take them anyway!) - she also said she'd get in touch with HV and ask about support for mums with PND in the area.

So a result all round really. i'm making a real effort not to be shouty mama today, and we even braved half an hour of a toddler group so things are looking up.

Thank you so much, all of you, for listening - I'm sorry for posting such a stupid OP.

I've just seen this and it has made me

I am so pleased that you have asked for some help. And really about the cognitive counselling. You have just made the first step to feeling better - it might be a long journey, but you will get there.

Please keep posting, let us know how you get on.

Your OP wasn't stupid, i think it sums up how a lot of us sadly feel sometimes. Thank god that most of us have lovely families etc to keep us going, and need us xx

Oh, I am so happy to read this. Thank you for posting again. There was nothing stupid about the OP at all and if it helped convince you to talk to your GP then it was worth writing.

Well done.

Hope things begin to get a better and better every day.

that is great news, I'm glad your gp was so supportive. Another thought is, have you tried home start? They are brilliant for support.

It wasn't stupid, namechanger. It was a legitimate plea for help and attention. I have been there, I promise, and I know how awful it is to see happiness in the past, pain & problems in the present, and nothingness in the future. Think of your children, if you can't think of yourself sweetheart. I wish I could carry some of it for you,I really do.
