Is there any point contacting GP?

I feel so low. I have 3 year old twins, one of them is always poorly.

They are a constant worry. Just had to return a week early from a 2 week holiday due to DT1 coming down with oral herpes. It’s been horrific, the poor thing had been so poorly.

DT1 just can’t seem to catch a break. It’s absolutely exhausting and such a worry.

I just feel so so low. I’m excruciatingly tired, I have zero energy and just want to go to sleep.

I’m not sure that I’m clinically depressed but I do feel very down at the moment. Is it even worth contacting the GP about it? What can they actually do? I can’t shake off feeling like a massive fraud and I’d just be wasting their time.

Yes. Tell them how you are feeling and let them decide if you need help or not.

Yes definitely go to the GP!!

They can check things like B12, Vit D, iron, thyroid etc. Make sure there's nothing physical causing you to be run down.

Then they can discuss mental health support/intervention/medication as needed

Sorry to hear you and your little one are having such a tough time. Do you have any family/social support?
