Had enough ☹️

[LadyPenelope68]

What do you do when you just can’t cope anymore? Just in utter despair ☹️

Talk to a friend
Take yourself to a place you love ...if you can ...breathe
Reach out to your GP

Text 'SHOUT' to 85258. Hope you feel better soon x

Have a bath or watch some funny clips on YouTube. Is there a friend or family member you can talk to? Samaritans can help too. Take care and hope your mood lifts soon X

Can you describe how you feel? Have you had depression before? How old are you?

Crying constantly, loss of interest in anything, constant headaches, not eating. I’m 55 and so sad that my life feels like this. My Mum died recently, I’m struggling with grief, struggling with constant disputes with sibling over her estate, whilst also dealing with youngest sons mental health issues/ADHD

Thank you x
i don’t have any close friends. My DH tries to be supportive, but he doesn’t understand grief (he’s never lost a family member) and I feel he thinks low mood/depression is something you can just try to snap out of.

I have life long serious mental health issues. I find that telling myself 'this too will pass' is one of the most effective ways of getting through the hard bits that I experience. Sounds simple and belittling but it is not meant to be.

That and visiting the GP for meds that work.

Don’t struggle in your own, Please do reach out to your GP- you have a lot going on and it doesn’t always mean you need medication. Counselling may help. X

That sounds rough, definitely your GP will be a good place to start for help. Might you also be suffering from hormonal issues if you are 55?

When I am in a dip I try and take each minute or hour at a time, keep moving, get outside as much as possible. It's excruciatingly difficult at times but little changes do help.

The loss of your mother is like no other OP and sorting out the inheritance can be awful coupled with everything else you are dealing with 😞 just be kind to yourself you can't pour from an empty cup 💐

Thanks for your responses and the time you’ve taken to reply x

💐😘

I can't see any other posts, but that's a shame if it's true.

What other posts???

And searching out posts of other users to put on unpleasant comments is the act of someone behaving in a normal manner? I’ve reported you to MN

Thanks Mumsnet for taking action
