My life is a mess, and I'd just like to know what you would do or what would you advise a friend to do if it were you. I'll try and keep as short as possible without a drop feed. For context, my living situation is me, my sons (1 in primary, 1 in secondary) and our dog. My youngest has some additional need and is awaiting ASD assessment, my eldest has a good friendship group and plays football with a local team.

we lost our lovely home of 9 years as LL said she was selling. We lived walking distance to school in the countryside. We have moved to relatives home in a flat in the city, which Is wholly unsuitable, I now commute 3 hours a day to school and back. Youngest hasn't moved schools due to provisions in place for him, eldest hasn't because catchment school in the city has a waiting list. Not only that, I didn't want to add to them feeling destabilised, which they both do. Although the flat is in a good area and looks great, we're all unhappy here.

my youngest (8) is very unhappy, he has said several times in the last few weeks that he wants to die, he wants to change schools, he wants to live with his Dad, he hates himself, he hates the flat, he misses the old house. I don't know whether to call GP. I have assured him I am trying to make things better and that I'm always in his corner.

I have a masters in my career area which I have been working in junior roles in for 3 years. I started with an org last year and got promoted within 2 months to a project role which is totally different to any other way of working I've been involved in. It was a new role, and my line manager and our other team member weren't always sure what our actually tasks were. They have both worked together for years. I have been in post for 5 months and we have only just come together to figure out our roles. On Friday I was told my probation was being extended for 3 months, I assume because I have not been up to scratch.I work PT as youngest can't attend wrap around care and pick up work in the evenings. I like working with people and don't like how process dense the role is.

I am looking to try and buy us a new home, my budget is very tight and the area close to the schools is too expensive, so I am looking further out in less desirable areas. I have a feeling were better moving even further away into the Borders, where houses are cheaper and more value for money, but then I would need to change both schools and although I think youngest would like that, my eldest wouldn't talk to me again and I'm very worried about the effect on him.
I'm so scared to make the wrong choices here, I can't sleep, I'm not eating properly, I'm angry and sad and feel like a huge failure. This has all come to a head in the last 4 months. I don't know where to start.
