Parenting with depression (tw - suicidal ideation)

Anyone else in this boat? DC is 11. They are wonderful, and deserve so much more from me. I am finding life unbearable - I know I’m heading for another deep depression and I just don’t know if I can survive it this time.

How do you make it through the days? What can I do? I have a private therapist but I can’t afford it for much longer. I came off anti depressants earlier this year as they weren’t working. The GP’s only option is to go back on them. I don’t know what I want from this thread - probably to see if I’m alone?

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.
