This is my first post here, so I’m a little nervous! But the last few months my mental health has been going down the drain quite rapidly, and just under a month ago, me and my partner of 6 years broke up. Dealing with him moving out, not seeing my 4 year old son every day, not having any confidence/body confidence in myself as we both got “comfortable” in the relationship, not being at work due to the doctors signing me off for nearly 9 weeks now, work was stupidly stressful before being signed off as I’m a senior carer and the care home had covid, AND the whole covid situation in general, it’s all becoming a bit too much. The doctors have upped my dosage of antidepressants, but they aren’t helping at all.
I’m 25, and have always isolated myself in previous “breakdowns”, but this time it’s so much worse as for half the week, I don’t have my boy keeping me going.
I suppose I’m posting this because I’d like to get a thread going for parents, both mums and dads, who struggle with their mental health, and maybe feel like there’s a bit of extra support out there for people maybe in the same boat...
