I'm a young, single mum to two lovely children. So far we've muddled along just fine. I worked, went to uni, rented a nice house... until a few months ago my father passed away under some terrible circumstances and my mental health which has been a struggle my whole life, deteriorated. I lost my job and dropped out of uni.
Now everything has gone to shit basically. We're so poor and after I used a couple of pay day loans (stupidly) soon after my dad died thinking I'd be back at work etc in a couple of months and able to pay it all back... I'm now being harassed by debt collectors. My wonderful lovely kids deserve so much more than this.
I'm planning on moving in with my mum as she's going to be buying a bigger house (she would love to live with us and us with her) but she doesn't seem to be planning on buying any time soon. So I'm stuck in this rut at the moment.
I've been to the doctors about my mental health but every SSRI makes me so sick I can hardly function. As I have a very young baby (5 months) I was planning on just taking time off until September anyway and taking this next year to focus on the children and also on getting myself better again- but I feel like a lost cause and like terrible mother who's failing life and failing her kids. Ugh
