Will anti-depressants fix my burnout?

[Playgrind]

Well, not fix exactly, but will they help?

Mum of 3 under 5, moved to new area so no family or social network to help out. Husband doing long hours so on my own 6 days and some evenings a week. Baby waking every 2 or 3 hours.

I know it's burnout not depression as when I have more sleep and less burden of the domestic and parenting I feel good. Just got a nanny for 2 mornings a week but can't afford more.

Will antidepressants help?

I would not take AD's in your position. They can have very unpleasant side effects.

What about nursery for the older one(s) ?

Would you qualify for the nursery subsidy ("30 hours free") ?

Eldest is in school thankfully. Unfortunately no free hour until the September when the middle one is 3.
