I’m so sad and I don’t feel I can tell anyone and I just want to write it down

I feel so up and down, but mostly down.

DH and I had sex earlier and it was so great and I felt happy for a good hour, but then I couldn’t sleep and just lay here overthinking and now I’m back to being sad. Just silently crying here in bed because I feel so sad. Had a cry in the bath earlier.

I miss my sister, we barely speak any more and I don’t think we have anything in common. She’s so so angry, at everyone but that includes me, and I don’t know why. She was my best friend until about two years ago, now I don’t even know her and she doesn’t know me.

I don’t feel I sort of ‘come first’ for anyone else. I know that’s pathetic but it’s true - I’m nobody’s best friend or first choice or maid of honour or godmother or whatever. I’m just a totally average person who has made two wonderful kids and was once a bright young thing who was thought of as clever and going places and interesting and whatever…but is now just someone boring and annoying who you wouldn’t seek out.

The best thing about me is DH and my kids. I never ever ever wanted to be that person.

Im so sad and I feel I’ve lost myself completely and I don’t even think there’s anything I can get back.

Im not uniquely special to anyone.

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.
