How am I going to cope?

I posted on mn a few weeks ago about being in love with my uni tutor - and got some really good advice. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to heed it because I honestly think I am depressed and have been a bit delusional, as a way of escaping the monotony of life with 2 small children, feelng trapped etc.
Anyway, I didn't actually do anything with said tutor, just declared my undying love for him, which is pretty embarrassing, but not nearly as bad as having an affair! I've finally come to my senses, and went to see my doctor yesterday, who's referred me to the mental health team for counselling. My worry is that I think a lot of the extra pressure has been because dp has a v stressful job at the mo, and is likely to be away on and off for the next three weeks. We haven't got family around us, and very little support, and I've just realised that I haven't seen anyone except dp (occasionally) and the two kids for the last 2 weeks. I don't particularly want to go on ADs, but I'm not sure how I'm going to cope alone over the next few weeks. It's just so lonely.

((((hugs)))) I know partly how you feel because we have no family around us and DP works long hours to support us, I get lonely too. I have just started a little part time job in the evenings which has helped alot because i get to have adult conversations.
Where do you live? have you tried to find other mums in your area to have coffee and days out with? it really does help x
Hope things feel better soon and if you need a chat then just cat me x
