My mental health is worse than it’s ever been - ever. I’m 51, just moved house, 2 teens I have during the week. Been trying to get ex- H to go week on week off for about 5 years.
I’m finding everything a challenging slog.

Was diagnosed with ADHD and a processing issue in March. Taking Mirtazapine for sleep, I’m on a HR patch but I can’t fucking find them - in a box somewhere!

I do all the admin for the kids and keep getting called by teachers about my son. Literally cannot cope with that at all.

Just gone back to work after a few weeks off - but I feel that was a premature move. Tied in that my role has been re-graded and I have to apply for it. Interviews are January if I even get one.

How am I going to cope financially (in a new house and unsure of bills etc yet) and mentally the next few weeks? Christmas!!!????

Very limited with friends, either married and settled or wreck heads. I can’t handle the plates.

Please just tell me I will get through this. I know I’m older but I found out my ex - bf is already dating, the house, death of my kids grandad recently.

Any solutions? I’m not into cognitive therapies.

Find those HRT patches or reorder your prescription. Honestly, I felt like the world was ending and was catastrophising all over the place before I started on mine at your age. You will get through this, of course! But if you’re better hormonal balanced it will be much easier.

That may be it - thank you so much. I’m constantly hunting for everything. Makes sense I am withdrawing it’s been about 4/5 days. You’re an angel x

You’ve got a lot on your plate, but I really believe this should help you cope. You can do this! Good luck!

I just cannot find them and I’ve probably put them somewhere ‘really safe’ dammit. Call to chemist first thing x
