Maybe ive lost all hope

i'm a young mom w c&c of my kid (4yo). ive been feeling down n suicidal recently. theres no specific reason, but rather an accumulation of everything that has happened to me. honestly, the only reason im still here is because of my kid. and its a vicious cycle, i think about how if i'm gone its gonna affect my LO, then i get more depressed then i think of LO then it repeats. my current relationship is of no help too, my partner only makes me feel worse about myself and constantly put me down. My parents don't know whats going on and they will never understand. honestly i dont think my depression ever went away during my pregnancy up till today. Im really struggling everyday, i cant afford to see a counsellor or therapist. i'm earning a 1k job for myself n my kid. im rly at wits end.

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.
