Just feel like im drowning

Everything feels like it's on top of me. Also, I feel like i can't confide in anyone as I've got to be mum and push through. Which I am. It's just hard at the moment.. i dont think this time of year helps either. A lot of pressures and stress. Any advice or tips on how to get out of this funk?

My baby is 9 months, was conceived by a hook up who isn't involved so I've been a single mom the whole time and my small group of friends mostly doesn't have kids and are in more of a party/hangouts/having fun life stage.

Anyone know of mental illnesses?!

What mental illness would cause someone to be supportive when times are good then when you hit a bump in the road in life they do anything to try to break you down mentally? Like hit way below the belt? Or is this just secret animosity?

Ugh

I’m struggling so hard. I don’t know who I am…. I’ve been a mom since I was 17… outside of being a mom and a wife I really don’t know who the hell I am…. I don’t even know what I like anymore… I feel so broken and damaged and unfixable…. I just really don’t wanna be here anymore…
