I am not happy in my marriage and have two small children (2&5). All the restrictions necessary for the pandemic are feeling overwhelming as I am cut off from the things that helped me cope (seeing friends, volunteering, taking kids out), and trapped in house with husband. I’m financially dependent on him, was working towards getting a job so I’ve the option of separation but now that’s presumably going to take forever. Also have daughter who has had major health traumas in the past. Scared for her with Covid. Since pandemic measures came in I’m feeling overwhelmed, depressed and now at times like I want to die. Running is helpful — going every other day.
I do have therapy, and can have online sessions with my therapist. But worried about how long this situation might go on for (what if we’re socially distancing for the rest of the year?) and how to manage depression while stuck in relationship at home for so long.
