I know everything is tough for loads of people at the moment and I know some are leaning on different things to get them through.
I'm homeschooling 2 children, one of which needs more support so I feel like I'm neglecting the other. Dh is a key worker and at work a lot and the weather is dismal and of course I'm scared like a lot of people catching covid and dying.
I've been leaning on something to get me through, I suppose an emotional crutch. And it's compromising my health and ironically my health re: if I caught covid.
I already use the something as a crutch to everyday life anyway but felt I was in control if I ensured I stayed out of the house particularly during the day when the kids are at school, by volunteering, swimming, the allotment etc. All of which have gone at the moment. So now my use of my crutch has increased and got out of control and no matter how much I try, every day's a new day and all that, it doesn't work.
I've contacted my gp but there is no support available at the moment and very little support pre covid.
The crutch is food. I'm 20 stone.
I feel so out of control.
