I am really struggling

Sat here in a crying mess.
I'm 42, single parent of a 8 year old with ASD and a grumpy teenage boy. I've had anxiety and depression for years but the last 6 months have been horrendous. I am receiving counselling from MIND and have recently changed my medication.

I just want it to stop. I want to wake up and feel happy. I've been practicing mindfulness etc etc

I just feel like a car crash and so alone. Ex DH is a waste of space. Some support from parents and siblings but ultimately I am alone.

Please tell me one day this will all be a blur

It will get better. I'm happy to chat anytime. No one should be alone if they don't want to be.

That sounds really difficult. I hope the counselling and new medication start to help. Things will get better - you are right in the eye of the storm at the moment and you must be shattered. Try and find a few minutes day to do something for yourself Flowers
