Is anyone else in denial about the state of their mental health

I'm struggling, feel like I'm drowning in a dark cloud. My house is a state, it needs a good clean and declutter. My kids are non the wiser obviously but I feel nothing but guilt, I should be doing better. They deserve the best, I feel like I'm failing because I know, I imagine how better things could be if I had my shit together. The more I think about this the more I spiral.

I’m in the middle. I don’t have my shit together but I also am not spiraling. However, I go to therapy twice a week 😆 it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself!!!

My mental health is very bad. Always has been but has taken a turn for the worst lately. I’m really good at masking it so it’s really difficult because when I express my struggles no one believes me or takes me seriously because I don’t show the classic signs of being depressed or having bad mental health. Recently got back into therapy. Maybe talk to a doctor!

I was like this a few months ago. I decided to start thearpy. Things are not perfect but they are better.

No, but, that's because my anxiety is manageable and I notice when I'm declining. I also have really low standards for parenting. Kids are fed and alive? Great. If I give them a bath I'm a supermum. (That makes it sound like they don't bathe often. They bathe a few times a week. But I will congratulate myself every time.)

I have been done about 5 times maybe 10 this week. Litrally just curled up in a ball last night and ask my husband to just let me rott there and forget about my existance. I'm under a mental health team and so far just being able to talk about how I feel some days really helps. Motherhood is hard and it is also isolating. Reach out there is always someone there to help
