Corona vs mental health vs lockdown

[november90]

Hi all.
I've had such a sh*tstorm of a year. It started with my husband walking out on me at 24 weeks pregnant, lockdown whilst heavily pregnant with a Toddler, a baby born in lockdown who was poorly and ended up in ICU whilst I was in hospital on my own, domestic finical and emotional abuse from ex and then all the corona drama that followed.
I feel like I'm finally finding my feet now and bam, it's all starting again.
It just really bothers me that people are so dismissive of people's mental health during lockdown. I've spoke to a few people telling them that I'm feeling really anxious about being in lockdown over the winter and all I seem to get is "well nobody wants the virus" etc etc. I'm not dismissing the virus and I wouldn't/haven't broken the lockdown rules.... but where's the compassion and empathy for the secondry illness from lockdown?
I'm not really sure what the point of this thread is. I'm just feeling really overwhelmed.
I'm a very very lucky mummy to two amazing bigs who I love so so so much, but a lockdown in the winter with a 3 yr old and a baby with nowhere to go and nobody to see..... 😰😰😰

If I was in your position I would see one or 2 family members or a friend. Without a doubt.
I've been in a dark place before that wa le spiralling. I started to feel that way in the last lockdown when dh returned to work. He wasn't furloughed long as thankfully his works had plenty of work and classed as essential.
I then decided to see one friend who is a single parent and my parents and inlaws. All of which are retired or furloughed and went to the shops less than me.
I don't feel. Bad about it. I wasn't partying. I wasn't having huge gatherings etc. And at first we SD but then if the only seat was next to someone in the sofa then I sat on it.. We had a toddler and baby born in Jan who has had feeding issues so I wanted and needed support.

Hi op. I too have had a fucker of a year, completely apart from Covid. I am not a covidiot or an AD. But you are right mental health is important. Keep fighting. Do not accept the criticism. You have a right to mental health. It is not okay to just shut people up with their problems. It is akin to locking people in asylums and going la la la when someone points out it’s not healthy. DO NOT GO QUIETLY! Keep banging on the door!

I feel exactly the same. Now my area has local restrictions I am slowly going crazy as gradually each door is being shut where previously I found comfort and support. I have spent all day crying.

I am so depressed and I can't pick myself up and I didn't go into this like this.
So I get it
I've no idea what to do though
