Just feeling a bit hopeless.

Im depressed
I'm scared
I feel worthless
I am about 8 years in to a run of bad things happening
I'm running out of resilience
I am now to old to achieve the things that meant so much to me.
It's so hard receiving comforting words from good people who did achieve the things I didn't.

I feel alone and isolated

I have options to mix with others but things have been so bad for so long that I'm actually embarrassed of my own presence.

I'm certain that if I didn't have my cat I would have ended this by now. Things got bad recently and I contacted a cat foster charity to see if they would take him. I'm not giving him enough attention or playing with him enough. I ended up in a heartbreaking decision because I knew that if I handed him over, it wouldn't be temporary until I feel better. I knew if he went I would be saying goodbye forever, and I couldn't do it. So he is still here with me and he is fine. I'm doing my best to keep him happy. He is literally the closest one I have on this earth.

I feel like a complete and utter failure

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.
