To ask for support to get through the day

Ok so I know this isn't really an aibu but I just need some nice words to get through the day (and a bit of practice advice)

I have a 3 yo dd and 6 month old ds. I have suffered with depression for 17 years and have been off my medication since I got pregnant with ds (I only lasted till 12 weeks with dd before I had a complete break down and had to stop breast feeding and go back on medication)

I finally went to the doctors yesterday and have been put back on a high dose of anti depressants.

I just want to cry and cry. Dp is away working till the end of the week and I just don't know how to get through the day. Also because of the medication I have to stop breast feeding and so fed my ds for the last time this morning.

I was loving breast feeding and am so sad I have to stop (but know my mental health is more important)

I just need some support to get through the next few days. I can't tell anyone in RL. I just can't do it. I don't feel brave enough.

And also is anyone able to tell me how I have a warm bottle ready for 6am when ds wakes and want feedyng straightaway (he won't take it cold!) everything just feels too hard at the mo

Sorry for the ramble and the fact this isn't really an aibu

*MsAsprey. Apologies for my early morning blindness! I have a HS volunteer myself who comes once a week and just cuddles DS for me so I can have my hands free for a couple of hours. It's nice to have adult conversation as well, as even at the baby groups you inevitably end up talking about the babies. I really recommend them.

That's the one Peace Homestart thanks!
I might use Asorey for my next name change!
