Hi, I’ve recently been diagnosed with adhd, always struggled with anxiety and depression, on antidepressants and adhd medication. I’m on Maximum sertraline dose 200mg but doc wants to get the adhd meds right before they give me a different antidepressant. Been feeling really low and anxious and not wanting to leave the house or speak to anyone, off sick from work with mental health being as it is. Hubbys recently lost his job, don’t know how we’re going to pay the bills at the end of the month, first time we went to the benefits people and they said they’ll only be able to give £60 a week maybe. Feel hopeless, desperate, helpless. I love my kids and they’re the only reason I haven’t or won’t ever consider suicide but today I felt low and had a bit of a breakdown and cried my heart out in the graveyard, don’t ask me why there of all places.. but I felt peace there. Anyway, I spoke to my psychiatrist from the hospital who deals with my adhd and anxiety etc and told him how low I was feeling and he said he’s going to speak to the crisis team and they’re going to help but it sounded like social services might be informed too, and that made me super anxious and worried because I love my kids more than anything and I’m a good mum, I never let my anxiety or sadness affect my kids, they know they’re loved and I care for them and love them and do everything a good mum would do, they’re not at risk in any way and I did tell the psychiatrist that but he said the crisis team and others will get involved so that they can help, but I’m terrified they’re going to take my kids away from me! I’ve recently had to sell my car and hubbys car, because we can’t afford it, I sound like a privileged sod but I’ve never felt such financial unstability and this way before where I’ve got to make such sacrifices, so it’s hit me quite a bit, now my kids and I have to walk everywhere and they’ve had a bit of a cold and they’re tired but I can’t afford a taxi or bus, it’s just a horrible time and I feel so rubbish and low and hopeless. I just don’t know what’s going to happen but I don’t want social services to be involved, but my psychiatrist didn’t really give me much reassurance, he just said that the people involved will be there to help get me better. But I said what about my kids, I don’t want them to be taken away, he said let’s focus on getting you better. I’m scared and worried. Any thoughts on the situation or advice would be appreciated? Xx 🥺
