Sandy,
It is very important that you just take one day at a time. Don't even think about the future right now. I understand how the thoughts of despair and worthlessness can be so consuming that taking your life actually makes sense. I have felt that way since I was 10 years old. I tried for the first time at 13 and the second time at 22. Thank goodness that both times it did not work because I would have never brought my beautiful 3 daughters into this world.
Maybe you can get just a part-time job at a place that you find interesting and learn more about it. I don't know where you live, but in my area there are food pantries to help with the food for you kids.
I am not trying to make light of your feelings, but it is only you and no one else that can change things. Your kids will love no matter what. Now you need to love yourself enough to get better. We are here to help you through the rough times. Just take baby steps, each day at a time.
When I start work, I have on my computer at start up - from the Saturday night live skit - "Cause I'm good enough, I'm smart enough and doggoneit people like me."- That always makes me smile and makes feel better at the start of each work day.
You are an important person!!! Please keep posting and here's another prayer for your well-being.
Gator
