Do I need help?

I have depression, anxiety and PTSD. Diagnosed 2 years ago, I am on antidepressants and have increased my dose in the past year which has helped.
My children mean the world to me, they're all I've got and I know for a fact that if they were not in my life I would not be here anymore. They are the only reason that keeps me going.
Things have happened in my life that I doubt I'll never get over but I don't want to go into that in here.
I've been wondering if being able to function in day to day life was enough and the fact that I'm here for my children is enough or do I need help.

Im sorry things are so bad for you, for a while my DC was the reason I was still here but then, thankfully, things did improve.
It’s not really enough just to function, you deserve more. It would be worth speaking to the GP and requesting counselling / CBTor whatever other help there is. I know things are sketchy in terms of support at the moment but, even knowing that help is in the pipeline whilst waiting for an appointment, can give you some positivity.
I hope things feel brighter for you soon Flowers

I don't know if just being functional is enough in life, so if it were me, yes, I'd probably seek help so that I could aim for happiness, or at least something more than just existing.

You deserve that.
