[Paytonnelly14]

Oh I've been reading this for years and thought for first time I'll finally take my time to post somthing my self, I'm going through I really crap time at moment, I've been struggling to come to terms with my mums dementia, and to top it off I've found out my blokes been cheating on me for past couple of years, chosen to forgive him as we both was each for kids sake things have changed alot, but also struggling to come to terms it was while I was pregnante with my dd 😔! I've spoken to the girl more then I have my partner think it sort of helps but my depression is getting me so down everything just seems to have hit me all at once 😔 could do with a cheer up to be fair, any one had councilling and can recommend pushing me on right track with everything feel like giving up

Yes, first step to see your GP, tell him how you're feeling and the effect it is having on your life. They usually offer CBT (Cognitive behaviour therapy) which is about re-training your thought processes to view things in a different light - many people find it very effective. But simply having someone validate how you're feeling can itself help. There's often a long wait, though. Suggest you post on the mental health board for your depression in general - there'll be a lot more help there. And post here about things specifically related to coping with your Mum's dementia.

Thank you
