I feel like my world is going to end right now. I gave my kids to my mom and I don't know where my estrange husband is. I feel like I am going to die. I can't take it. My meds are not working. I have no one to talk to but you all. I need a real hug from a real person in person. I have no one! Someone people help me I have everything up! My kids were my everything, but I am in no condition to help them.

Im uncertain of what to say, perhaps try and reach out to different people. It could be anyone, someone who makes you a coffee or a neighbor just talk. Work on trying to be the best you can be. Your situation is difficult though, hard to give advice on....stay strong

so sorry... one time in a dark and lonely moment I went to an AA meeting even though I am not an Alcoholic... it was just a relief to be with people that are struggling and trying
best I can do today is get through and get by...just for today

Cinegirl has the right idea. Find people. There are AA meetings everywhere as well as religious centers where people are ready and willing to offer a warm hand. The serenity prayer is pretty universal for us all -- God (or whatever is out there) grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

You did a good thing, a loving thing by having your children in a safe place. Now, take yourself to a safe place. You are worth the effort.
