needing help

I am a committed Christian who is dealing with serious depression and suicidal thoughts. I have recently became a single mom and I have 3 kids. I know my kids should be the reason I want to live and fight this, but suddenly becoming a single mom has been real hard for me. Because of everything we have been through the past 6 months, my kids are suffering with their own mental problems. Sometimes I think that the only way for them to survive this ordeal is if they some day have a mom who doesn't have her own problems. I can't help them if I can't help myself.
I have had a long history of depression and anxiety. I have been hospitalized 5 times and attepted suicide 4 times, however I have been stable for the last 2 years, up until about 2 months ago. We all go to therapy that is Christian-based, we attend church regularly, and right now we are living with my parents. I am very shy and always depended on my husband for emotional support, and now I have very few friends, I do have one friend from church that knows what I am going through and has offered love and support, but I am afraid if I call her too often with my "oh poor pitiful me" story she will get sick of it and not want to help me. Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: needing help

Hi Jan,
Just saw you post. Hope you are okay. I was a single mom also of three. My x-husband left right after I gave birth to my last child. It was very hard, but I made it through, my three wonderful children are raised now. So hang in there, there were many times I didn't think I was going to make it, but it all worked out. Things will get better, and you will find that you will have a better life than you did before.
