in Mamas with depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders

I feel like i’m failing my kids

No matter what i do i over think and feel not good enough sometimes i wish i didn’t have kids as i feel like an embarrassment and that i’m letting them down because they deserve a better mum i can’t even make friends i feel alone there is a little voice in my head telling me that everyone deserves better if i could stay in bed all day i would but i can’t because of my boys i tried to talk to my partner and he just doesn’t get it so maybe i’m crazy ? i just feel like everyone deserves better sometimes i just wish i could run away and spare everyone i can’t remember the last time stayed happy it’s all just a blur like i’ve been acting for so long i can’t remember if i was actually happy or pretending to be happy I know my boys think the world of me and that’s what makes it worse because i’m there example and i know i don’t wanna be this way I’d be devastated if they ended up like me i wouldn’t wish this on anyone i get horrid sinking like feeling in my stomach every night so i can’t sleep i’m burnt out and i don’t know how to make anything better Everytime i try and talk about it with the other half he just says it gets better and he don’t understand why i feel like this because he loves being a dad or just gives me a blank look

Show your support

I'm sad you feel this way. It's easy to judge yourself, and probably too much. If you fancy a chat, you're welcome to dm me. I'm always wondering how I can do better for my son.

We can be friends 💓🫶🏽 you can message me if you’d like

Dear Mama, it’s well with you. YOU ARE LOVED and SEEN by Jesus Christ! He understands your struggles and whispers, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28) You don’t have to face this alone. Seek professional help from a therapist or counselor. They can provide guidance and support to help you navigate these challenging emotions. Remember, GOD IS WITH YOU (Hebrews 13:5) and He promises to never leave you nor forsake you. Pray for strength, wisdom, and guidance. You are LOVED, VALUED, and ENOUGH in His eyes. Reach out to your healthcare provider or a therapist in your area. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Jesus is with you, and He cares deeply about your well-being. Hold onto hope, dear mama!
