I’m struggling. Will Manchester ever come out of local lockdown?

My mental health is rapidly deteriorating. We are in local lockdown, have been for a few weeks. We are following it to the letter- I know lots aren’t. Cases are just rising anyway so I can’t see them loosening only tightening them. My family live elsewhere in the country and can still meet up and see each other (under rule of 6). I’m getting more and more depressed and feel so alone. Two small kids so can’t anyone other than similar parents in outside spaces but no one with my husband as our friends all have kids so would take it over 6. Can’t see family for what, the next 6 months? I feel completely hopeless. I don’t think I will make it to Christmas I have had bad PND which got better but I’m rapidly deteriorating again and have little to live for.

Hello OP,

we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected].

Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.
