I hate being mum. I wish I never had my second child. I wish I could turn back time and never had him. It has been 4 months and I still hate it !!!! Will it ever get better ????

Hi there Lalinka279, We're so sorry you're feeling this way but we do understand. So many of us have been there. 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 that 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. On that point, we think that this thread is best moved from AIBU so we will do that now. Sending good wishes, Lalinka. We really hope you're okay. It is SO hard going from one to two, and (speaking from experience) the shock of a premature baby is shattering. Do keep in touch with your friends on here, but do please reach out in real life as well. 💐
