Really struggling right now

I have name changed, I don't want this linked to my usual user name as I have friends who use MN too.

I feel almost at rock bottom, I lost my husband last year and I was already struggling with everything that happened when my adult daughter received a letter after a recent scan to say the findings are being discussed at an MDT. She's scared and I am doing my utmost to reassure her and support her but I am angry. Angry and scared. Scared and alone. I go to bed hoping I won't wake up. I wake up hoping I won't be here tomorrow. I have no faith in my GP surgery and no option to change to another surgery. I am trying very hard to see good in every day but I am failing miserably, that makes me feel like I am letting DH down. He saw positive in every day. But I don't have anyone to offload on and I don't know what to do. Sorry, this is jumbled but my head feels jumbled. My whole being feels jumbled and I want it to stop.

I'm so sorry you're having such a rubbish time, and sorry for your loss; bereavement really does a number on your wellbeing. Do you go out to work? Can you access any mental health support via your employer? Those kinds of services can be fast and totally confidential.

Thank you, I am self employed so no access to mental health support that way but I did have some help from the hospice after DH died maybe I should approach them again (I didn't have my full quota for various reasons). I almost messaged Shout last night but then decided there were probably people who needed the service more so didn't.
