Finding things really tough

My mental health has deteriorated over the weekend, really fast. I am a single parent with sn kid, have no help due to covid (in full lockdown now - we are just allowed out for walks) I'm not coping. Ive no motivation to do anything and tearful all the time. I can't cope with us indoors all the time. It takes so much motivation to get us out for a walk/ cycle and the weather is crap so I don't enjoy it. My self esteem is rock bottom as I was having a really hard time with trying to find some work and not getting anywhere. I would be worried about childcare now if I did get a job as I really struggle in the holidays/lockdown, and I have my own chronic illness to cope with which means I can only work certain hours as it is. Im overwhelmed and feel myself sinking into a rut.

I'm sorry things are so rough for you at the moment.
Have you ever spoken to your Dr about your mental health? It really is worthwhile to talk to a professional and see what help they can offer. It could be medication or getting some resources to help.
