People thinking I’m unwell when I’m not

I’ve been struggling a little bit with my MH, I admit I do feel a little low and lacking in motivation. When I’ve made comments about how I’m feeling people have told me I’m really unwell at the moment. I’m a little low but I’m not really unwell - I don’t need any support, I don’t need to call 111 or the Samaritans, none of these things will help.

I do feel like my time is done, but I’m not in any distress about that - I’m at peace. I know what’s best for me. Please don’t read this and worry about me, or get the wrong impression. I have no intention of ending things imminently. But how do I make people understand I’ve not come this decision because I’m unwell. I’m perfectly well, and I’ve made a reasoned, rational choice.

Hello OP, we're sorry to hear you are feeling this way, we're just popping by to sign post you or anyone else who may be feeling this way to some additional support links.
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 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.
