Mental health struggles
There was a post on here a couple of days ago where someone was asking for advice as they had potentially taken an overdose of meds. It's been playing heavily on my heart since as there were no recent replies to any of the comments.
Just wanted to come on here and say that if anyone is feeling that low and in that head space that you no longer want to be here, please DM me. For background, i am a solo mum (mid 30s) to 3 kids. I have been there. Quite recently too. I find those thoughts often creeping in, especially when I see my children go without which has been happening too much that its quite embarrassing.
I've been battling a tooth ache this past week and I had to make the tough decision to use our grocery and rent money to get seen as the pain has been excruciating. So now I'm scrambling to see how and what I can do so I can get by this week. So naturally, I found myself back in that dark space. I have a couple of people that I talk to here on reddit when I find myself back going back there and they help me alot when I need to just unload or need encouragement to keep going. If you can relate, please DM me and I can be that person for you.
