Something’s not right

any one else just want a break from mental illness?

any one else just want a break from mental illness?

does anyone else just want a break from their mental illness? it just feels like everyday is a challenge and honestly I'm exhausted.

I'm in the process of getting help for the anxiety and depression, its just waiting for the appointments and trying to keep myself above water.

At the moment the only thing keeping me going is my 2 year old. He makes me smile and drives me nuts at the same time.

I keep pushing forward because I want to be the mum he deserves and not this person who is just surviving but living if that makes sense. I want to be able to enjoy life again not wonder when the next panic attack is going to happen or what is going to trigger it.

thank you for listening to me vent. I just need to know I'm not alone in this.

Hi @pommygirl1993

You are not alone.

I hope others with similar issues reply soon.

I think we chatted about one week ago.

Thanks for taking the courage to reach out.

A good vent helps me too.

The courage you took shows you will do anything for your two year old. They are lucky to have you
