Hi, wadever u are going thru now I hope u know u know that it’s not the end of the world and pls dun give up. I know how depressing life can be as I have dealing with depression and anxiety issues for the longest time. There are times whereby u feel nobody knows what you are going through and felt alone in this world. But all these will pass and it’s because chemical imbalance in our hormones. Do you have any close friends tt u can speak to? A mini support group? Even 1 close friend is sufficient. Any siblings? Sometimes we think our parents don’t understand but it’s because we never open up our heart to them too. In most cases, family will never give up on one another. If there is a need to get out of the toxic marriage/ relationship then make the decision to do so to save urself and your LO. Move back to your parents house and gain the support of your family first. By cutting off certain toxic relationship but empower urself and make you feel less depressed also. Keep us updated? Wish u all the best 🙂
that's really a tough phase to be in. glad you're reaching out for some support here. Accumulation of stress and exhaustion can lead to a vicious cycle like what you described. When your mood is very down, everything will SEEM hopeless but know that does not represent the truth. Things can get better with the right support. there are affordable counselling services (or even free if you are not working) at Family Service Centres at all Hdb estates , and places like Care Corner Counselling Centre and Shanyou Counselling Centre. please seek professional help, you deserve to be happier for yourself and your LO. Counsellors can provide a safe space for you to share your troubles, and guide you to see what your personal values and priorities are, journey with you step by step to improve your mood and life situation. It's tough to do this on your own when your mood is already down and you're mentally tired.
So sorry to hear about what you're going through. I know how tough it is. Motherhood can be a tiring and lonely journey. Especially when you're also facing stress in other areas of your life like work and relationships. Sorry to say this, but I think a partner that makes you feel lousy rather than make you feel like a treasure is not worth having. You deserve a better partner who will love you and make you happy. Regardless of how you are feeling, know that you are a great mother and you're trying your best. Please also talk to someone about things, don't go through depression all by yourself. You can consider calling SOS hotline which is 24 hours.
hello. i dont have it all crumbling down like that but my marriage is failing already too. i have been seperated myself from husband. My LO is 5 months now. and as you pointed out, its gonna affect your LO. so how about making your LO your saving grace and actually doimg something that truly helps you. for menits moving in to my own parents' house. same like you, my parents have no idea prior too. alternatively, seek your own family to come visit you?
pls dont be suicidal. same like you, i cant afford counsellor or therapist or whatever. i only have the baby, really. i cant afford to buy clothes for myself to fit post giving birth, i think before i spend on food too bcz my j husband does not provide me with maintenance. but this will pass :)
