Depression & don't want to be here

I'm 27 weeks. I've been struggling with depression since the break up of my marriage 2 years ago. I have a lovely 7 year old boy.
I became involved with a man I'd known many years. He moved in and I accidentally fell pregnant whilst taking the pill. He begged me to abort. I couldn't. He rightfully said I'd struggle with my mental health.

He left. 3 months later he returned. Though he didn't seem happy and we had argued. He has left again.

I can't concentrate at work. I am struggling to concentrate all the time. All I can feel is his baby jumping around inside me. All I want is him to love us and help us.

Today I got sent home from work. I stood on a rural motorway bridge for 2 hours. I just wanted to jump. But knew it was wrong. I text him told him it's a cry for help and would he help me. He told me to go home.

Well I am home now.

I am struggling financially. I feel like a complete pathetic loser and I'd give anything right now for someone to tell me they love me and it'll be OK.

In short I don't want to be here anymore. I'd ideally like to have my baby. Give her to someone who can be better than me then just pass. My little boy would be happier with his Dad I'm sure.

I did call the samaritan's but I'm too in a state to speak and no words came out. Just feel like I'm a useless person.

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 - here. You can also go to the Samaritans' website here, or email them on [email protected], which might be easier if you found it hard to speak to them on the phone before.

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.
