What’s the bloody point

[Messingwithmyheadagain]

I’ve not got anyone in my life that gives a damn about me and there is no point to life Are we obligated to stay alive if we have dc? Can I just “hold out” until they turn 18 or am I expected to suffer until I cark it by natural causes?
NB - I’m safe at the moment and not in any immediate danger

I’m sorry you feel this way. I think you need to discuss this with your GP or a mental health professional.

Don't you give a damn about you?

@Eyesopenwideawake nope not one iota.

When did you last care about yourself, or anyone else?

Are we obligated to stay alive if we have dc?

Honestly, I think we are, yes. For almost a decade ( and ongoing) I have felt like you. Feel trapped, ashamed bur keep on because I have kids. I do feel trapped in life because of them. My life is about to take a terrifying turn for the worst too. Like my worst nightmare about to become real life. I’d love to escape it but can’t. But none of this is the kids responsibility. I have to keep on because I had them, so it’s on me.

@Eyesopenwideawake mid last year. Found a psychologist and thought things were going ok but my case was too complex so I was ditched.
constant issues with dc too so just utterly overwhelmed. Not really sure what the point in it all is

@Colderthanwarm sorry to hear that you’ve also been struggling for so long. Really hoping that your worst fear is not going to come true and if it does you somehow find the inner strength to face it all 💐

That was very unprofessional of them. What changes in you would make a difference?

Thanks. That means a lot. I am sorry to hear about your psychologist. I know only to well how it feels when you find something that you think is making a difference or going to, and then is disappears or comes to nothing.

FWIW, your post to me was kind and so I give a damn about you. I'm really sorry you have a life that grinds you down. I hope one day things can get easier for you.
