How’s your mental health?
Jump to: Newest in thread
 out. I still have some stressful moments, some moments where I need to leave the room and lie down because if I don’t I’ll end up shouting and screaming, but it’s so much better than previously.
Starting to get anxious again though and more stressed out and feeling down more often - hubby is due to go back to work soon (he has some health issues so is speaking to his OC health about all this) and I don’t know how I’ll cope without him. He’s been working from home since the beginning of March, and although he’s been super busy these last few weeks so hasn’t really been helping out as much (which, is fine! He’s working) I’m still stressing and ugh.
I know I’ll be fine, I have no choice but to be fine. But I still worry.
And I was referred to the mental health team through my local GP....back in May. And I still haven’t heard anything. So I’m gonna be following up on that and questioning it, and hopefully get the ball rolling.
So, how is your mental health? | |||

"I do think I need to go back on meds (been off them 2 n half years) But, I'm feeling more positive today than I have done in months " I’m proud of you, I really am | |||

"Alart from your husband, do you have any fsmily and friends as a support network? Being alone with a little one can be really isolating, and I found getting out to toddler groups made a big difference, talking to other women going through similar stages. Still friends with them now, years later." Sort of - my parents work full time, hubby’s parents is a ‘meh’ topic. Me and my granny used to go out for lunch once a week before lockdown started, hoping we can start that up again soon. We’re really close with my BIL and SIL (if anyone reads this who knows me will know how bloody weird that is!) but BIL is now at college and still working, SIL doesn’t work but lives 45 mins away (three busses to see her) and doesn’t drive, so it’s a bit meh 
I have some ‘mummy’ friends, but they’re all going back to work now, met them all while they were on maternity leave | |||
