Social distancing single mum with post natal

[Ejones95]

Fully aware that there is a pandemmic and everyone should be keeping themselves to themselves and staying in doors etc I am wondering if any other single mums are struggling with postnatal anxiety/ depression and concerned that social isolation would cause more harm then good. Wondering if you can limit contact to a select few. For example when I'm having a bad day my mum would usually Come round or a friend and would just give me that help i need. Now my question is, is this still ok?? Or would this be a deffiannate no?? I'm very concerned by everything and worried I'll make the wrong or the right choice? And I also know a few other single mums in my situation are feeling conflicted and the same want some general thoughts or advice. Thanks

I just wouldn’t risk it, as bad as it is. If it’s sunny could your mum drive round and talk to you in the phone, so you can see her? Local park and stay 2m away?

I have postnatal depression I am in isolation with my DC's, my parents are also in self isolation but I am going between our two houses. We both love in the country and I know I can get from my house to theirs without seeing anyone else.
If I didn't have postnatal depression I would probably cut out visits altogether, but at the minute my MH is fragile and I dont know if I could survive months in isolation on my own with the DC's.
My parents are early 50's, if they were older it probably would have an impact on my decision.

Just realised I put this is two different threads by accident.
That is an option walking in the park 2m away But the DC will not understand not to go near nanny.
Sounds awful smetimes you just need a break and someone else to have your DC. Very hard times and choices to make, scared of making the wrong one

By caring about these decisions demonstrates you’re a good mum. Stay strong.

What about playing online games together whilst on the phone?
