I have two kids. I had them young. I am in college. I live in a trailer. I don’t have contact with my parents. I have overdosed once in my life, years back. I was sent to the hospital and there was a series of events. I feel low, just as low as before. I feel like a bad mom for being so depressed. I feel overwhelmed, I hate my life, I hate being alive. I love my kids but I feel bad I don’t love them enough to want to stick around. I don’t want to live. I really don’t. I have almost no friends and in real life. I am kind of a *****. I am so sad.

It’s ok for parents to feel depressed, that doesn’t make you a bad mom, it makes you human. It’s understandable, and happens all the time.
Have you ever thought about looking for treatment, therapy, counseling, the usual list? It sounds like you’ve had this feeling before, but it went away didn’t it?
It’s okay. Give yourself a break. You have a lot going on, maybe you just need someone to talk to. You’re not a bad person for feeling the way you do. I’m sure you’re not the only one who has felt that way.
