Feeling sad

More and more, everyday I think my kids deserve better I am always crying infront of them..

I'm struggling so much and I think how much happier they would probably be with other people I try my very best in every aspect. They are fed clothes clean and happy but their mummy isn't happy and I don't want to affect their mental health
I feel so alone and I'm scared I'm the thought of leaving them breaks my heart but so does the thought of me always being a sad mummy

It shows just how much you care that you're reaching out for support here. Are you accessing your GP or any talking peer support groups?

Take care c

Hello, sorry I'm just replying it's been a very emotional busy day ! It's mad how I can do a lot of good but always feel bad !

I'm to scared to go back to the doctors it's a weird one like I can't explain my feelings face to face

Try not to be so hard on yourself, this time of year can be very tiring, please go to the doctor and explore what support they can give you to feel better, show them what you’ve written here if you find it hard to articulate. Even a small bit of self care might also help.Take short breaks and reflect on the achievement that they are happy. Do you have a play area nearby where you can take them whilst getting some gentle exercise yourself?If you are on your own you could look at this site for support:- www.gingerbread.org.uk/. I hope you feel better soon you deserve to. Find some films on the Christmas schedule that you can all sit down to enjoy together. You don’t say how old your children are but the things I used to enjoy with mine were making cakes and making homemade play-dough. Hope you feel better soon and enjoy being with your kids this Christmas.
