Alone with depression

Hi Girl I am a single mum with no family or support around. I actually don't talk to my family anymore because they have not been helping since I had my baby. I work full time and can only afford my baby to go to the nursery 2 days a week. I have a lot of pressure from work. I am now afraid of doing a burnout or depression cause my baby needs me. Nobody else takes care of him, so I need to stay strong, but it is so difficult I don't know what to do. My anxiety level is so high that I can not even sleep and spend my night thinking. I don't know what to do, I cry every night when putting my baby in bed cause I am afraid something happens to me. The dad is not even in the picture. So I am alone with my baby and all these thoughts and fears.. Is anyone in the same situation? I cannot stop working cause I need to provide for my baby but work.is consuming my brain and body

Show your support

Awe girl!! I’m always here if you need me!! I also have an iMessage GC if you need mama to vent to that won’t judge! I totally get this

Sorry you are going through this, I’m not sure if you can, but it would be good if you could join a gym that has child care, and could give you an hour or so to yourself…. As well is there anyone else you could ask for assistance babysitting so you could get a little rest…. Or someone you could call on if you were sick, and needed help with baby

Also take a good amount of vitamin D, it helps with depression!!

I am so sorry you feel like this. I have been there. I wound up on my own with 3 children. In the end it was so much better. It took time but I am on the other side now. I am here if you want or need to talk. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I found it so can you. Agay I am here if you want.
