I'm finding life so difficult. If this is rock bottom, then I'm there. I cry most days and can't seem to see anything through a positive light. Ending my life has been on my mind multiple times.

Work has been especially challenging. I've been there a number of years and have always been a capable, respected member of the team. I've achieved highly and I'm renowned for being fun and friendly. Just lately though I've lost my get go and everything seems like an uphill struggle. I've cried quite a number of times in meetings with my manager lately. He's been utterly supportive but I've come to the point where I'm considering sick leave in order to feel better. Has anyone been at this point in their lives?

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: https://www.mumsnet.com/webguide/mental-health. You can also go to the Samaritans website: https://www.samaritans.org 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.
