Struggling with frightening thoughts and sensations about being alive

Do you ever think you’re dead? I just can’t actually believe I’m alive. I cut myself. I bleed. But my skin itches all over. I think I’m decomposing from the inside out. I’m being eaten alive by bugs.
Or I’m dead and stuck in the half life and need to find my way to the afterlife.

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.

You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]

Support from other Mumsnetters is great but it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well. We hope that you can do that.

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.
