Middle of the night depression
I tend to wake up in the middle of sleeping crying. My situation is not good right now and I’m at my lowest point in life. I downloaded this to vent as I don’t want to be a burden on my friends or family but I am really struggling and don’t have insurance for professional help. What do I do? Do I accept the loss and give up? My baby deserves a happy mom but anytime I see a small glimmer of light, my ex puts it out right away. I’m losing hope… can someone reach out please?
@newbeginnings2023 gives you a giant tiny hug ❤❤squeezes you tightly. First of all congratulations on a baby girl, that's a real blessing. Throws you a rope, to pull you out of the hole. Sends loving beams, and hope your way 🌈🌈🌈
i'm so sorry to hear about your pain and frustration - i know it's not easy. i relate to you, i downloaded this app for the same reason.
*** the healthcare system im sorry that mental health isn't free when it should be. i hope that one day you'll be able to receive professional health.
but no, absolutely not, you do not give up. downloading this app was a step in itself, you wanted to find an outlet to express some emotions/thoughts which is a sign that you don't want to give up. please don't. your baby needs you, you need to be healthy yourself to take care of your own lil family.
im sorry about your ex - i don't know the story but ik relationships can be a lot. is there anyway you could completely block them for your life or would they be open to having a discussion with you about this issue?
also, i suggest looking into free support groups near you. i suggest NAMI, they're a huge company with a bunch of different locations - i'm sure you could find one near you or on Zoom. it's free and there's different categories for the groups. i hope you can find it well.
i'm so glad you downloaded this app and i hope to continue to see your posts, i know you'll make it through. sending love 🤍
You have already begun to reach out to people. That is a good thing.
I too have had really hard nights. It can be the roughest of times because your brain isn't thinking clearly. If you are really struggling to sleep, try going to a doctor for some sleeping medications. Not sleeping makes the depression worse.
Your baby needs you here no matter what condition your brain is in.
But come back to this thread and post every day if you want. People will definitely respond. @newbeginnings2023
