Bad day

Hello, I’m having a bad day today with depression and anxiety. I also have clinically diagnosed ADHD. I’m a 33yr old female with two children. My partner is away for work. I’m really stressed out thinking everyone hates me and I’m the worst person ever and that I’m fat and ugly and my life is meaningless. I have been to the GP several times and have been attending CBT sessions for almost a year now. I’m just really struggling today. I hope this is ok to post, but please delete if not.

I didn't want to read and run but it is almost certainly the case that none of that is true. It sounds like you're taking steps to learn to reframe your negative thoughts. I know it's tough but try to remember what you've learnt. I hope tomorrow is easier for you.

I hope you wake up feeling a bit better! Do you have a good support system around you? When is your partner home?

Hi, I’m in a similar boat to you (only one child though and don’t have ADHD)

My depression has been very very bad for the last couple of weeks. I just have to take it one day at a time. I also have feelings that everyone hates me and my life is meaningless. It’s not true though. It’s just the mental illness telling us that.

I don’t really have any advice but just wanted you to know there are many who feel similar, you’re not alone. Well done for going to you GP and getting CBT. I hope you’re having a better day today

I have been feeling the same my anxiety and depression has been really bad for years and hasn't shifted at all. Do you claim PIP I get it for depression and anxiety it is not a scary process people make it out to be and you can have a paid carer to help out
