Depression Understood Forums

Hello everyone

I am new to this kind of thing, but my situation is one that brings about those dark feelings of hopelessness frequently.I live with my partner of 7 years and our beautiful son, and I am my partners carer (she suffers from many mental health issues).Throughout the day I find I am able to get by in front of my son.However, when I am left alone those awful feelings of sadness hit all at once and I find myself on the verge of tears.These feelings are particularly strong in the evening.I often find myself sitting in silence willing the clock to move quicker so I can slip back in to parent mode and feel human

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this.Any words of advice or indeed just someone to talk to would be more than appreciated

Hello BadTouch;

I think one of the best pieces of advice is to do what your doing. When your feeling alone and counting the minutes, come tell us. It helps me to write about it. Putting our hopes and dreams into our children is human. It can be a burden at times for them so it's good to have an outlet.

Welcome;
