so depressed what can i do...

[hopelesspiglet]

I am so depressed too, the lockdown has a great impact too. As a migrant from young age, I struggled with living but now I have 2 kids. My partner is really good man who earns all the money for the family and worked like hell. I know I should pick myself up and back him up. but the feeling of useless me and hopeless life just knocked me down and I feel like drowned in the down moods. worries almost ate me up, but I dont know how to stop it. i have been to therapies before and they were helpful only for a while but doesnt really stop me from low moods. the moods just came back every now and then it is killing me. what shall i do lord i only wish my kids wont have to go through what i go through in the future.

i have come to this country with my parents when i was younger about 17 years old, i didnt finish my education I couldnt do much work I dont know how to do make up i dont like cooking I have no enthurism for life most of the time. just so miserable pitty on myself all day long which I know wont help with anything but make things worse.but I just cant help myself out of this, feel guilty all the time not being able to do proper job and my partner takes all the burden. the guilt just wouldnt go away

I’m so sorry you’re having a rough time. Are you currently taking any medication?

You are valuable and what you are doing in life looking after your children and home is valuable. If you weren't doing those tasks someone else would have / you would pay for some one to do them. But you shouldn't be feeling sad and low all the time. Talk to the gp about how you are feeling and if you want to get out of the house think about a plan to tackle this step by step. There are lots of free courses on line or at local colleges you can build up your skills. But take it one step at a time.

thanks, I dont want to sound miserable but I barely get any time left after children gone to bed. And even if I do get a little bit time, I am so exhausted. All I did is just living my life day after day pointlessly

Hi I was just hoping for some friendly advice as I don’t want to speak to any1 about this! I just found out that I’m pregnant with baby no3 unplanned.I already have a 3 year old boy and 1 and 18 year old. Just a few months ago I left my husband because he did some horrible thing to me. He had then kept promising me he would not treat me that way again but I have seen little thing that are reminding me of the past trauma he caused me. I was going to go and get my birth control and he made a big deal out of it so I just held it out thinking I wouldn’t get pregnant because I have pcos and it was difficult to get pregnant without changing my diet and other things. To my shock im pregnant I feel so lost my relationship is all over the place I don’t see him the same even though he tries to be good I find it so hard to forget what he did to me. I just feel seriously trapped! Plz some advice would be so appreciated
