Really sorry that you are feeling so down.

Bacterial and viral infections can leave you feeling very low and will probably mean you have little energy anyway which makes everything so very difficult. Antibiotics can take it out of you as well.

Wanting life to be over is very different from positively wanting to do something to end it, but it is still a very scary place to be. If you are positively planning something then please stop and think about what it will do to your children, because it will affect those people that know you - even people that don't know you well.

If you do find yourself thinking about doing something to end your life please phone the samaritans and talk to them instead - you won't be wasting their time because that is what they are there for.

It's very easy to feel isolated when you are ill - do you have any family that you can contact - or a friend that could may be come and visit or go out to coffee with you - or for a walk - just to give you some contact with other people - that contact is very important if you are feeling low.

This is a poem I wrote about 9 months ago - because it was all I could manage at the time

Useless

Scared

Worthless

Than nothing

It isn't how I feel at the moment - which is just to say that things can get better.

Hope you manage to get the time to recover properly and start to feel better but if you don't then please mention how you are feeling to your GP - though probably best to try and get a double appointment if you can as that allows more time for talking about things.

really hope you start feeling better both physically and mentally soon. I had a chest infection last week and have just finished a course of antibiotics myself - does leave me feeling quite tired and I know that can lead to getting quite down so I'm trying to take things a little easier at the moment.

Hi Jane I'm so sorry you feel ill and down.i have chest infection right now too, and I

Am retired so at least I don't have to worry about work.it does knock the stuffing

Of you and when you have the pressure of trying to be well,it's no wonder you

Feel low. It's tough being a working Mom but just do the very basic things,

Don't worry about doing too much at home, have you any family or friends

Who could give you a bit of help.?

When I'm ill my mood is. Never great but I usually get over it and back to myself.

Let us know how your getting on, and people here are very supportive. Hope

You get well soon.
