Can't face work

Really can't face going in tomorrow- nothing wrong with work just too much stress at home. I've got to go because they've paid for me to go on a course this week and can't let them down but I just feel so down.

Can you elaborate a bit about the home stress? Is it manageable or out of your hands?

I'm the sole earner my husband had an accident at work 6 years ago which left him with a disability so almost overnight we swapped roles and he became the house husband.
My teenage daughter disclosed sexual abuse to us last summer which was historic and happened when she attended primary school it came out as the person who abused her messaged apologising.
We disclosed to the authorities who decided they couldn't take it further.
DD now becomes anxious when she has to leave her room and won't leave the house - she basically stays in bed all day.
Today is more stressful as tomorrow we are having a mandatory electric check and they need access everywhere and she's really stressed about it.
Just feel like everything is on me- I'm not managing financially and can feel my own mental health slipping.

Oh my goodness - that is a lot to have on your plate.

Is your daughter getting counselling? Tomorrow can she be somewhere else (I’m assuming she isn’t at school) that she feels safe for the checks - is your husband ok to be there alone (can he manage ok?).

Yes - you are the supporting wall in the family right now and that’s a hell of a lot for a family without such troubles.

Have you family around or good friends who can support you?

My husband can manage it's a problem with his back and arm.
She won't go anywhere else it's constantly a massive battle to get her from her room.
She has been offered counselling from Camhs but won't interact with anyone it goes as far as she will hide her face and refuse to speak so they now won't come to the house.
My family are supportive but there is only so much help they can offer and they all work full time.
I'm just having a moan really it's been a very stressful few weeks x
