Hi all.

Feel a bit daft posting this. But I really need some support. So I'll list issues one at a time and try and keep it concise.

I have a court date for repossession of my council property as I am behind on rent. Mental health issues mean I am incredibly bad at things like paying bills and such. My mum, now passed, used to hide from debt collectors. That was my only lead in terms of responsibilities. She committed suicide age 29, when I was 13. I am now 28.

Got another letter, court date for council tax, funnily enough on the date of my mum's death.

Got another letter my neighbour (who was caught out before making false claims I left my dogs alone for two days, he constantly makes complaints for anything I do) because I have no money to remove my old cooker and door out the back,and saying I leave my dogs alone for hours on end and they bark the whole time. Not true. I spend a fair bit of time at my other neighbours directly above me, they don't make a peep and he never hears them either. I also don't leave them for hours on end. Now the council are calling out the rspca.

Got a letter today about my smear test. I have abnormal cells.

Also severe addiction to painkillers. Only things that keep me calm.

I'm really not coping. Nan mum and best friend are dead. Not much support really. Don't know where to start?

It's all such a mess. Like mother like daughter. She was addicted to drink and ended up dead. I can see why. I just can't do it. My brother is so normal I don't understand? Then again I shielded him from a lot of it, the domestic violence from my step dad etc.

Help? I need to get a job, get off painkillers, sort out finances, I don't know. So much but what do I prioritise when it is all urgent?

Everything is being attacked. My home, my dogs, my finances, My health. How much can a person take? Why haven't I got it together I'm nearly 30?!

Hi LadyLu

We're really sorry you're going through such a tough time at the moment.

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. 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 think it might be a good idea if we move your thread over to our Mental Health topic - would that be okay with you?

Sorry for hijacking your thread, and we really hope things start to look up for you soon. Flowers
