I'm in a very very very bad and dark place

I Amjad an awful morning. My mother turned and had a pure hateful senial moment and it set me up with a migraine for the day. I still had to go to work. Work has been ok-ish. It has been very busy and I had to nearly bully people just to get to the toilet. I was so busy earlier in the day I never had time to get to the toilet and basically I had period blood just dripping down my leg because the pad I put on this morning was soaked.

Work has just been so busy.

I am in an absolute god damn awful place. All of it. Mentally. I don't have any places to do anything drastic but sometimes I do think about IT but I don't have plans and I am too much of a coward but I am in that bad state mentally where there are so many things sin my life that can really tip me over easily. There is just too much stress happening.

I have hair appointment booked for tomorrow morning. I booked it weeks ago.

I don't want to go into my hairdresser and he chats to me and asks me how I am - I don't want to be depressed. I don't want to drag him down. I usually try and be positive.

I am definitely in a place where I will go home tonight and knock back a bottle of wine or vodka.

I am in a bad place mentally. It's everything. I have a hair appointment in the morning but I don't want to be depressed for my hairdresser.

We're so sorry you're feeling this way.
We can see that you've already been given a lot of good advice and support from other Mumsnetters, but we just wanted to add some links to organisations which may be able to give you some help in real life too.
First of all, here's a link to our Mental Health resources. There are many organisations listed which can provide you with some support. If you're feeling very low, you can contact the Samaritans, any time, by emailing [email protected]
or by calling 116 123.
You can also get help from a text service called Shout 85258. Its trained volunteers are available all hours of the day and night to listen and support you to get to a calmer and safe place. It's a free, confidential, anonymous service for anyone in the UK and it won’t appear on your phone bill.
And finally, here's a link to Mind's pages on Tips for everyday living and How to improve your mental wellbeing.
Sending good wishes, OP. We really hope you're okay.
