MytimeNow. I wanted to die too. I was at the end, and I even tried but I didn't succeed. I finally had to do what it takes to get better. That means walk thru my fear and procrastination and get to a detox. Where do you live abouts. I know the hopelessness MyTime Now, but it won't always be this way. You gotta put the drink/drug down.
That was 1 yr 5 months ago. Today I am glad I am alive.

It's not drink/drugging - I've never drugged, one spliff and I eat the house out and fall asleep.
There's just not a place for me in this world. I've been fighting it since I was 12, I don't feel I can fight it anymore. I have nothing to give, not even my children.

I'll be ok, always am. Hah.
I feel like a clown with a face on all the time. I haven't been happy since I was 12, I've had all the drugs and therapy. I'm not giving anything to anybody, there is nothing out there for me.
I'm a good person, but damn right that both my kids would be better off without me.

Are you suicidal, or do you just wish you were dead? There is a subtle but important difference. If you're suicidal please use the resources available:

i apologize i didn't realize you are in the UK. hang in there. as you said before, you will be ok.
When my kids were little I isolated from the world to such an extent I would sit alone in the garden while my husband occupied them. I had no energy, no will to live, nothing. All around me was a blackness and heaviness and it was at that point my drinking got a grip of me. I wanted to end it, and I planned how to do it.
I was depressed MTN, and I needed help.
There was a place for me in the world, as there is for you. We are Mums. There is no greater gift than our children. Don't turn away from them, they need you.
All I can tell you is that it does get better. Once the drink was gone, I was able to face the demons of the past and gradually re-build myself. I am no longer depressed MTN. Life is good. Therapy isn't easy, but I can promise you that the life I always wanted was right here in front of me. I just needed help to see it.
Hang in there xxx

What are you going to do to change that? Today is a new day. It is up to you. What can you do to make a difference today in your kids lives in your life.
You can not wish yourself happy, you have to take action. Make a plan. Take baby steps to become the person you want to be. We are not defined by others. We r defined by ourselves. Who are you. Who do you want to be? If you want to have esteem do esteemable things.
You can create your own identity. If you don't like what you see in the mirror, what can you do to change that?
Get out of yourself and do something for someone else today.

Ok... am calmed somewhat
For anybody that is worried that I'm going to kill myself right now - absolutely not. Please don't worry.
I wish I could! I would love to end these 37 years of pain. I have my responsibilities though and need to carry on, but I know there is no happiness for me in life, I carry on for others. I just wish the pain would end and the memories gone.
Has anybody had hypnotherapy? I'm wondering whether to try that as a last resort.

I've perused the job pages this week, 40 pages and nothing for me. I'm trying.
you're really tired too don't forget as you've been up since really early this morning and yesterday too. Being tired can make me feel so low - don't rule out the fact that you're so tired and maybe this is affecting your thinking?
Your kids need you so much. They need you more than they need anyone and they love you.
Plus maybe you're feeling more down because you drank last week maybe. I know I always felt low a few days after I quit following a relapse.
Things reallywill get better for you. Can you maybe have a bath, a warm drink and get to bed.xxx

I don't want anybody to worry, it's fine, I'm going nowhere soon.
Ok seriously, nobody worry please. I was at the absolute end of my tether and ranting.
Can a mod just edit my post to 'having a rant' please? Anna?
Everything just hit me like a ton of bricks and I posted here, the last thing I want to do is worry and give other people stress xx
