I just lost my best friend, an another friend. Because of stupid mistakes I made and didn’t realise.

I gave up my kids, I’ve given up my home. I don’t know who I am. And right now I don’t want to be on this planet.

I don’t believe my life is worth anything and that everyone would be better off without me

Hey you!

Whatever pain you are going through, I can’t imagine what it’s like. But you deserve to be here. If you need an escape, if you have access to internet, check out Olafur Arnalds (I think I spelled it right...), and write down all your thoughts on a piece of paper. Every thought. Describe your feelings, let everything out on the page. This helps me let go and process the shit that is hitting me sometimes. Go for a really angry run, or go for a walk. Also writing down 10 things (or 5 if I’m agitated) you’re grateful for, even if you can only think of a few right now, helps feel something either than the pain we don’t want to feel. It can be as simple as having all your fingers. Or water to drink. We need these reminders that the small things count. I hope this helps.

oh sweetheart, even your name is sad. Please get yourself to your GP to get yourself some help. That is the first place to start. take someone with you if you want. We all need support sometimes. You don't say where you are living or how if your kids are in care, but there are organisations who can help you get housed and your children back. One step at a time. Is there a YMCA near you? I worked there for 17 years and know they house people and give support. Look up on google for support groups or ask your GP. If that GP isn't helpful, see another and another until you find one who is. You have the right to see another if you want a second opinion. I am going to assume a Social Worker is involved in your case if you don't have your children any more? Can you contact them? Or make an appointment with Citizen's Advice to get you free advice to get your children back once you have a home. I wish you well x

Thank you all for the comments.

So I was raising my niece and nephew for 14 months but had to give them up due to a mental breakdown.

And in the process I’ve lost 2 people who said they would be there for me, no matter what. And in the pettiness of it allthey tried to cause drama between myself and my other friends :’(

I’ve given up my home since not being able to afford it without the kids.

I have seen my gp. I’m seeing a psychologist and I’m on medication.

Yesterday was just a very hard and emotional day!

I miss my babies & my friends. But at the same time I’m so tired of taking the blame for everything, even if it isn’t my fault.

I’m sick of trying to make everyone else happy. How do I forget others opinions and work on what makes me happy?

How to I be selfish in a way that’s good for me and my self worth? :(
