finding life overwhelming?

I have no idea where to turn to anymore.

I am under the care of the mental health unit here & cannot complain whatsoever about the treatment I have received. I am currently doing DBT through the system which ends in around 4 months. I was told today that at that time whether or not I still need the service will be reviewed but there is scope for another 12 months treatment following DBT.

That, combined with other stuff, has thrown me into complete meltdown mode. I have no job, no money to feed my child & myself, a 6 year old being treated for malignant brain tumours that I'm dealing with on my own & I've just had enough.

Just today I've spoken to my psychologist over the phone for about an hour as well as having our usual appointment & I have spoken to the CAT team (crisis afterhours team) because of having so many suicidal thoughts. Went through the whole treatment plan thing, have tried options on it & still ended up cutting myself. Now that hasn't helped either & I just want to hurt myself more. I don't want to call the CAT team again, I hate having to call them over & over yet I'm still totally strung out & over everything in life.

I really really wish there was a way to just go to sleep & never wake up & have to deal with all the crap.

Update:

telling me that at least I have my child to live for is hardly going to help someone who feels like a total failure for failing to be able to provide my child with a home where even known that food each week is no a guarantee.

& yes if I am pretty sure someone is making something up for attention or things don't make sense my responses may seem to be rude - obviously you've only picked a few of my answers if you think I'm a jerk

    Oh wow. I'm not gonna lie. Who wouldn't feel a little suicidal with such a sick child. I'm so sorry and I hope there's something they can do for the kid!

    First, stop. Breath. I know how annoying it is to be told to just breath deep. However, it's something. Maybe take a bath, close your eyes and breath deep. Try and get your brain to BE QUIET for a few min. It'll help.

    Call them if you need them. They're going to get calls today one way or another, right?

    Your lucky, you're an adult, u can get yourself help, u don't have to rely on your mother to do it for u. You can get help, I can't. You have a child, do u want him/her to end up like me? Walking around everyday wishing she could just die? Do you want someone else to takecare of your 6 year old? Do u wanna miss out on the first day of middle school, the first day of high school, his/her wedding??? I shouldn't be preaching, considering the question I just posted myself, but u have something to live for, you have something that makes life worth it.
