I am a mother of a 7 years old child, a working lady, separated from husband and living independently without any kind of support in Ktm. I believe I have been doing pretty well when I consider only these above things. But whenever I go into episodes of depressions, I struggle with my life. I find hard time coping with my low emotions and trying to do my responsibilities as a mom of my child. When depression hits me hard I even get suicidal thoughts (for which I am taking medical help). I am an introvert and have nobody to express my feelings, so jotting down here. Also, talks on mental health is still not easily accepted (atleast in my circle of people). I wish things gets better and I can live my life being happy. ❤️

Hope everything goes well for you.
Just look back at how far you’ve come without anyone’s help and rejoice. I know it is overwhelming to care for baby and work and manage own life but every second week, go for walk with kid, maybe even short hike. Spend time in Nature, it might be good for you and your kid as-well.
Also, kudos to you for taking all the responsibility and excelling in it.
are you open to finding love again? have you considered how an intro of a new man in your life may change your relationship with your kid?
wishing you and your kid a happy life!
You’re serving as an inspiration to someone you don’t know. You’re doing really great. 🙂 Don’t let depression overpower you. You and your love for your child are stronger than that.
What separated you from your husband?
(Divorce, natural causes, divine intervention?)
May god bless you and your child . Take care 😇
You have a great reason to fight this through (your kid). Keep pushing it and stay happy.
Hope you soon get out of depression.. and live a healthy life.. When you get bad thoughts remember you are not living for yourself but the future of your child.. who will be proud of your accomplishments one day..
we met a sister who had similar state of yours, she had a 4 y/o son , and parted ways with her cheating husband ,
she used to play pubg with us and was sweet .
Life need not have to be hard, allow people help when you are struggling. There is always someone close willing to help.
You are doing great, dont let any situation say otherwise. Seek inspiration that made you the today’s strongest person when feeling the lowest.
Life gets too harsh for someone sometimes, mam.
It will make you stronger, and I pray that your child will acknowledge that. Sometimes, you just have to leave everything up to God and just do your karma. Suicide has never been a good option for one. Just trust yourself. This is just a harsh phase it will pass soon.
Take care. Radhe Radhe🙏
it takes great courage to admit that you are suffering from depression and mental health issues. half your battle is already won by you. life struggles make you stronger mentally. never give up on yourself. Don’t pay attention to others negativity. you are a great Mom.
keep yourself busy with your work and your child. think about your childs future. you and your child both deserves a good life. things will get better for you eventually. better things in life takes time. be patient with yourself. don’t rush in taking decisions.
when you are feeling down and you need someone to talk to or express what you are going through you will have all these beautiful souls to listen to you. you are not alone 🙂
If you have a faith you believe in, you may want to try to be more involved. This might help distract your mind from negative thoughts.
You may never know us or even meet us, but be assured we commend you for the challenges you face. What is life without challenges. Keep going till you look back with a smile on your face.
If you ever need a friend who won’t judge you, I will be here.

mental health is ignored so much in our country. Glad you are getting medicinal help. I Hope you will beat the depression. I wish the best for you and your child.
Very brave of you to acknowledge and accept. Hold your peace. Thank you for sharing.
I am glad to hear that you are already taking medical advice and support for your depression. That is a very important step.
Here is some more precise and philosophical advice:
​
* **Recognize that depression is a part of you, but it does not define you.** You are not your depression. You are a complex and multifaceted person with many strengths and qualities.
* **Accept that depression is a chronic illness.** It is a condition that you will likely need to manage for the rest of your life. But there are many effective treatments available, and you can live a full and meaningful life with depression.
* **Find meaning and purpose in your life.** What is important to you? What are you passionate about? Finding meaning and purpose in your life can give you a sense of hope and resilience.
* **Connect with others.** Social support is essential for everyone, but it is especially important for people with depression. Talk to your friends and family about what you are going through. There are also many support groups available for people with depression.
* **Be patient with yourself.** Recovery takes time. There will be good days and bad days. But don’t give up. Keep taking care of yourself and seeking help when you need it.
Here is a philosophical quote that I hope will be helpful:
>”The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.” – Steve Jobs
This quote reminds us that it is important to find meaning and purpose in our lives. When we love what we do, it gives us a sense of motivation and drive. It also makes us more resilient in the face of challenges.
I wish you all the best on your journey to recovery.
Good luck, lady friend !
I’m sorry, but I hope you won’t act on your thoughts, your child needs you. If you want to have a stranger to stranger chat, feel free to express your emotions. I’ve been dealing with depression and loneliness as well and i can tell how it feels like. Loneliness is the worst thing someone can feel.
