Can’t stop thinking about ending it all

I’m 51, probably in peri. I’ve been struggling with anger for a while now but lately I feel like everything is just too much and I’m constantly thinking of how I can just kill myself. It’s constant. Lying awake at night wondering how I’d do it, how can I do it painlessly, how can I do it so my family are not financially impacted, or how can I leave and never look back?

i don’t think I will do it, but why can’t I stop this loop in my head? Why am I tearful all the time? I’m just to exhausted with it. How can I stop these thoughts?

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We have edited your post to remove the mention of methods - not because you've done anything wrong, but because we're highly searchable. We take this advice from organisations such as Mind.

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're going to move this over to our mental health topic now. Flowers
