Scared of loosing my children.

[xoxo1989]

I feel like I'm having a nervous breakdown and I'm in a very hard situation. I have PTSD, depression and anexiety and these past few days I have felt myself gradually getting worse. I receive no help from my husband. I'm at the point where I'm going to call 111 and speak to them but I'm literally terrified social services are going to get involved. I'm does anyone know the steps they take when you go to them for help. I'm already down at the doctors but I feel I won't last untill next week if I leave it that long 😩😢 I know there are probably people worse off than me but I just can't deal with simple things no more and I can feel it slipping away

You must ask for help. I am so sorry your husband cannot be a source of support for you - that is very hard. These people are professionals - they will know how best to help you.

I’m afraid I don’t know what steps they take, but if you need help, you need help. Social services are far, far more likely to be able to provide you with help and support than cause you problems. I think they would do an early help assessment and get the various agencies/people you’re involved with (nursery, health visitor etc) together to look at what support you need.

Would it help you to talk more on here about what is troubling you tonight?

Usually a social care referral is only made if children are at risk. I work in mental health and don’t make referrals for the vast majority of people I work with, we do take a note of children’s names and dates of birth for records so don’t panic if that happens.
Please don’t let this stop you getting help xx
