i don’t what to do, I have been depressed for years. In covid we were forced to move because of house prices. I gave up my job I loved, my community and we had to move very far away. I’ve suffered health issues and as much as I’ve tried to find community and work here I haven’t been able to. I’ve become a shell of a person in the past three years.

I haven’t been sleeping waking up at 2-3pm most nights in tears wishing I wasn’t here anymore can’t get back to sleep. I’ve been contemplating ending it, searching google for the least painful way.

when I told my husband this this morning that I couldn’t cope anymore and I was feeling suicidal and I think moving back to where we came from might help fix it, he pretended like he didn’t hear me even though he was looking straight at me.

I don’t know what to do anymore? I just don’t know what to do?

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, 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.
