What the hell is wrong with me?

I'm 46 and since last Monday literally I've felt tearful, very low mood, decided I hate my job and want to pack it in (which affects everyone in the household not just me as it's a family business that I'm in charge of). I'm finding what used to be simple tasks quite overwhelming and if I can't do it straight away I'm screaming and crying over it. I'm an emotional wreck.. I feel like my whole world has turned upside down and yet there's no reason for it. Last night i was so angry I slashed my arm with a razor and really wanted to leave the house and do worse. Instead I sobbed in bed for hours. I'm just not me anymore and I don't know what the fuck is happening.

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 RL 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.

We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.
