I'm done

[Needlepointy]

I'm done with this. It's all too much. I hate my life. Its all just shit. There's no point in any of it.

Can you tell us a bit more?

I’ve been where you are, it can get better.

Would you like to talk about it?

There's no point. Nothings going to change.

Things can change; sometimes we have to start with small steps first

I think a lot of us have had that sense of pointlessness but I can actually promise you that things do change. I maybe doesn't happen at the speed that would make you feel better, but it does eventually change- it's like the weather- you may be in a storm just now but it will change.

Not sure that's what you want to hear but I'm really feeling your misery just now. Big love to you. Please just don't do anything rash.

I doubt anything will change.

There is always hope. What has happened that you have lost hope?

Oh OP, I feel very much like this at the moment. So I strongly empathise and sympathise. But past experience of previous depressive episodes has taught me that I will feel better again eventually; and trust me, so will you. I think there are times when we just have to keep breathing, to hang on. Feel free to pm me if you need to talk

How are you today op?

Me too. I’m sorry I have nothing helpful to add but I do completely feel you ☹️.

I feel like this a lot as I just think we are all heading to the same place anyway so what’s the point if I am not enjoying life. Then my child reminds me that he needs me still. He wasn’t planned, he didn’t ask to be born so I am resolved to carry on. I have no words of wisdom just that many people feel like you.

I feel exactly the same as you OP. I know people are well meaning when they say things will change but they are wrong. I have spent seven years working really hard to change my life and nothing has worked. There isn’t really anything else to try and I don’t have the resilience for any more false dawns. Despite that, I am absolutely desperate for another Avenue or a way out but there isn’t one.

I have no advice. Just you aren’t alone in feeling like this. I’m done too.

I feel the same as you OP. Some days all I do is plan my way out. Do you have kids? Even if you don't, people will miss you if you aren't here. This is what keeps me going. I also try to get out to nature as much as I can. Seeing the seasons change helps me sometimes.

Sending my virtual love to you and know that you aren't alone. Pm me if you want, I don't get scared by negative feelings. (I find when I tell my friends about mine they back off) xxx

Hello Needlepointy, we are really sorry to hear you are still feeling this way.

As you know 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.
