I’ve got cptsd from my childhood and I’m feeling suicidal. I’ve got 2 children which is stopping me from doing anything but I feel awful all the time but I just want to to stop. I just want to feel ok but feel so lonely. My husband didn’t understand and he has his own mental health problems so he can’t see how much he’s struggling.
I don’t know where to up from here as for the past 20 years I’ve gone from feeling ok and managing to feeling awful and not being able to cope to have no one else to turn to. I have a stressful job in the nhs but can’t take time off as I’m bank, and I don’t know what to do as a really want to die.
I feel like everyone would be better off without me, and I’m letting my children down

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.
