I feel helpless

I have 3 kids and I can’t afford childcare or anything really and I need to get a job. I’m always asking people (children’s father and my mum) for money, for food for clothes for buying gifts for children’s birthday. I feel such shame. Can’t afford to get on a bus let alone a car or anything. I live with my children’s father, we rent but I hate it. He works earns a good living but I feel like I am drowning With Christmas coming I feel like I can’t even BREATH. I have no friends no friends with children No family members to talk to No one to go round to their house Feel like I want to end it all

Show your support

I'm so sorry that your feeling this way. To me it sounds like your going through some form of depression. I would say the best thing to do is to speak to your doctor so that he can come up with some medical solutions for you to help with how you are feeling. I hope you manage to get all the help you need.

I feel the same girly. Message me if you want to vent or share.

I know what it feels like to feel like you’re drowning. I’m sorry you’re feeling this. This is a way out There is a lot of support out there for you You just have to take a moment to reach out to them. - Search mum groups - Ask the council about mum groups - If one doesn’t exist - make one - Go to the soft play or park and be sociable - ask for Someone’s number

I have a WhatsApp group with mums that you can talk to anytime and we meet up for a playdate. And you are welcome to join our WhatsApp group if you want too. https://chat.whatsapp.com/JhHYnH32Eq7AODV5MaZvdU

I'm so sorry you are at this point I just want you to know that it is a phase and it shall pass. Keep hope alive You can inbox me if you don't mind. I can be your chat buddy, I have a good listening hear

I am sorry you feel this way. Raising three children is not easy. When I am faced with hard times, I always see it as a learning process and believe me it will pass. Stay strong, your children need you and love you. Please take one day at a time. Xx

We hear you babe! Your children’s father needs to provide for them, don’t feel guilty about asking for money! Especially if he earns a good living. The system is against us, it’s not a reflection of you! Go to work to pay for expensive childcare! It’s very tough. Give yourself a break, you’re doing really well raising 3 kids on no income. Keep the faith, you need a break, even just some moments to be kind to yourself 🌺

Their father needs to give you allowance, it's not okay to have to ask him for every single thing. You're doing what he would be doing if he didn't have you. How would he be earning that good wage if he had to stay and look after his own kids? Yes, you are depressed but not for no reason. I wouldn't suggest taking meds. What for? To numb the very valid feelings and mess up your brain. You need more understanding from your partner and a friend to connect with. Speak with your partner.

How about a Saturday job when hubby is home.
