I don’t want to wake up tomorrow

Nearly every day when I wake up I am disappointed. I have been on antidepressants for years. Have tried loads of different ones and now my psychiatrist says that the only thing left is counselling. But that can’t take away the mental pressure from adult DS, who pours his ASD rages down on our heads. He has been away on a lovely holiday and now has come home angry with the world. He can be so sweet and loving, but also screams and rages at us. I can’t take any more and just want to end everything. I am so ill (multiple conditions for decades) and am getting old. Just want it to end.

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 visit the Samaritans website at 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 hope things improve for you soon, OP.

Hi GirlWithACurl,

We're so sorry you're still feeling so low and we hope that the counselling is going to help you to feel less overwhelmed.

In the meantime we wanted to post a link to the National Autistic Society as they've compiled a page with links to organisations which may be able to give you some extra support when dealing with your DS.

Here's the link - https://www.autism.org.uk/contact-us/urgent-help

We really hope things start to feel a bit easier for you in time.

A list of external contact points where urgent help is needed, including the NHS, and helplines and listening services provided by a number of charities.
