Feel so alone and I really dont know what is normal and what is not.

[sadlonelyandconfused]

I recently split with my partner and feel like I am falling apart. On the outside I am functioning well, everyone comments on how well I am doing and what a strong person I am. But I am not strong, I cry every night when I have put the children to bed, i am drinking too much, have started smoking again, and genuinely I feel so low. I have three beautiful children who are the only reason I can keep it together. At what point does normal break up pain become depression? At what point do i need to seek help? I haven't slept well in weeks and when I do go to bed it is not a comfortable place anymore. I cant put it into words! :(

just wanted to say you not alone.

The splits recent, raw must be a shock..

3 kids by self must feel overwhelming responsability

I have 3 too they lush but hard work.
my hubby works lots hours.
i have no family, friends locally,so support structure.
doctor ave me sleeping pills help with sleep recently.

I think you still in mourning you bound to feel bit down.

got if think to past breakups pre kids fags and booze played a part.

now i cant cope with the hangovers.
hope you feeling better soon.

I'm so glad I've seen this. I feel the same:(

I just want to cry & for someone to cuddle me and tell me everything okay.
