What would you do?

[Lalamomma]

I am so depressed, drained and tired all the time, I self harm just to calm myself down, I don’t want to get out of bed but I have to because I have children to look after. I have no support or a village to go to help. I dream about leaving the house and never coming back just walk out the front door and never look back!!! I just want to leave I don’t care where, I’m at home 24/7 with my children driving me insane that I just don’t want to be here. (I do love my kids don’t get me wrong I’ve just had enough) it’s just me doing everything with no help or support from so called family or their dad. I’m there for everyone else but no one is there for me.

Hi OP

Things sound really tough

I didn't want to read and run and someone with something better to post I hope will be along soon, but here is a link to Mumsnet's list of helpful resources, and you may be able to find some support there

Hope things improve for you

In particular the Samaritans are always there, day and night to talk to when things are tough if you need help right now

How are you feeling today @Lalamomma

Hello, OP. We're sorry to hear you're feeling this way.

We can see that some other Mumsnetters have already signposted some links for you above.

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've also moved this to the Mental Health board for you as you might find a bit more support here.

All the best with things,
MNHQ
