Everything I've done led to disappointent. Nothing seems successful to all plans/decisions I've made. Now, I'm back to zero and doesn't know how to start all over again. I believe I don't have enough time and money to begin with. No enough support for family and friends.

Hi @GieEuphoria welcome to the forums. I'm hearing that life is pretty difficult for you right now. Happy to listen and support you if you feel like sharing more. I've started over many times in my life so I get the challenges.

@eth thank you for your concerns. I am trying to get up step by step. Next week, we'll be moving back to my sister's house to downsize and hopefully lessen our burden to all our finances.
You see, my anxiety started last year when a supposedly friend of us ask us to move from different state to help us starting a business with him. So my husband and I quit our permanent job here in Sydney and went to Queensland. But all of a sudden, he didn't support us and didn't get a permanent job in that place. So, we decided to go back in NSW if we going to start our lives again. Unfortunately, I couldn't go back to work due I got pregnant. Since my husband who's the only one working, we couldn't pay a lot of our bills and I have got postnatal depression.
Hopefully, we can get back to our feet sooner.

Hi @GieEuphoria and welcome to the forum. It sounds like you've been through a lot of big changes since last year and some really stressful things too. Starting over again is really tough.
It's great to hear you have a sister who sounds supportive and what sounds like a plan to try and get on top of finances. It's also awesome to hear you reached out to your GP, though maybe frustrating that you asked for medication but she wouldn't prescribe any. How old is your bub (if you'd loke to share)? Do you have any other professional supports for your anxiety and postnatal depression?
Keep posting and connecting on the forum if it helps 🙂

Hi @GieEuphoria sorry I didn't reply sooner. I had family visiting from interstate including 2 grandchildren aged 1 and 5. Even though I raised one myself, it astounds me how relentless parenting can be - just keeping up with food needs and bathroom needs can be a non-stop occupation. I had major PND myself twice so I feel for you. I do remember that it was said that any major life changes in the year before the bub comes make PND more likely. And especially when there are several like in your case, combined with financial insecurity.
Please keep posting and sharing with us here on the forums. You will find several others with common ground currently in time. Wondering if a @Former-Member can share the details for @PANDA here in case they are helpful.
Take care @GieEuphoria and when you get a chance try to squeeze in some self-care activities if you can - even if it's just a hot shower or having some music in the background.
