Severely depressed

[Crystalblue13]

Hello
I just want to talk to someone I’m feeling so so low at the moment, crying all the time. I have a beautiful 5 yo daughter who means the world to me but I just feel so useless and pathetic. I haven’t worked in over a year because I started a full time job and had to leave because I found it too stressful and missed my daughter.
I am lucky to have dh who is amazing but I just feel so bad not working while he works hard for us. I am looking for a job but am only really qualified for healthcare work which I don’t really want to do again as the shifts get my down.
I just want a part time job in an office where I can earn a bit of money and spend a lot of time with my family. I don’t know what to do :(
Sorry for moaning on.

Thank you for listening

Have you spoken to your DH about how you're feeling?

Hi oink. Yes I have, he knows how I feel and is very supportive. Also I’ve got a doctors appointment tomorrow

Sounds like you're making the right steps :) Depression is so hard but speaking to your GP is a good start. Keep your trusted loved ones close and keep them informed on how you're feeling.

When I'm feeling overwhelmed I feel it's helpful to not think long term and focus on just what I have to do to get through today.

Thank you so much. I do keep them informed but I feel like I am getting them down crying and complaining all the time :( and I don’t want to seem like I am not thankful for them when I really am, I love them so much.
I’ve always been a worrier and at the moment with me not working I’m worrying all the time about money and not being able to get a good enough job.

Thank you for all your help and advice. I am taking Citalopram again which normally helps me a lot and I have been offered a new job which I am so happy about- just 2 days a week, but things are looking up 😊

Really pleased to read your update! Glad things are looking up, well done you!

Thank you so much twinklebee! 💕
