I’ve posted on here a few times, please don’t pile on if my previous posts have annoyed you.

I’m in an extremely dark place, separated 11 weeks ago today. The depression is getting more severe; been on mirtazapine for 3 weeks now. I’ve started having constant thoughts of harming myself. I’m in contact with nhs professionals but I just feel as though I’ve died inside.

I’ve always been such a strong confident woman - I am no longer myself. I just want to go to sleep and not wake up.

there’s no other woman, he just doesn’t love me or want to be with me any more. Together 13 years, married just over 4. I’ve begged him to reconsider several times, he refuses and is really nasty about it, told me to throw myself in a river today.

can’t stop looking at couples around me, I just want to stay at home and die tbh. The thought of my DD is no longer a protective factor, I’ve driven her away from me.

is it normal to feel like this? I’m so scared, nothing is getting better for me, it’s just getting worse and I feel completely worthless

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 are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly Flowers
