Very low. When to get help?

I've name changed for this because frankly I'm ashamed of myself.

I only just manage to drag myself out of bed in the morning. It all seems pointless.

I get my ds to school and today I came home and got back into bed. I didn't sleep I just lay there crying for a while.

Before pick up I had a quick tidy up so it looked like I had done something.

Got ds home and I feel like I'm just waiting until I can go to bed.
It's all so pointless.
There's nothing wrong as such but I could easily cry right now or sleep, unfortunately I can't do either.

I dont think this is covid related. I have in the past wfh but obviously now it's more like 90% wfh and 10% being in the office. I don't mind wfh but I definitely feel quite lonely at times now.

I've had times in the past where I feel low or flat but this feel different. This feels like it's not going away any time soon and the guilt for being a pretty shit mother is eating away at me making me feel worse than I already do. Despite feeling this way it's not enough for me to be able to change it.

I've never spoken to a doc about this stuff. I've always been of the mindset that there's nothing anyone can do for me so I just have to get on with it but I really do think I need help, I just don't know what help I need.

There is nothing to feel ashamed of yourself for!
Given the way you are currently feeling, the waiting until you can go to bed and going back to bed today to cry, suggests you would benefit from a chat to the dr sooner rather than later.
You are not a shit mother so there is nothing to feel guilty for. Speak to the dr now, you need to look after yourself so that you are able to look after DS. I hope things feel brighter soon Flowers

This sounds like depression and there is loads of help for this. Go to your GP and tell them you feel like everything is pointless and you want to stay in bed. Take the ADs if prescribed, they can work wonders

Sounds like now would be a good time to talk to someone.

I wonder why you feel that no-one can help?
