Hello everyone. I am a 25 year old mother of a six year old little girl and I work full time. No matter how many hours I work I am always behind on bills. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression for last ten years and I have not had insurance since early childhood.

I am beyond suffering. Been suffering for a decade and losing hope in myself. I want so desperately to have time with a professional. But I cannot afford it. I feel as though I e lost my identity to these problems and idk how to get my life back

Hi. Your not alone. I've actually suffered with anxiety and depression myself. I've actually got an appointment with my GP about seeing a therapist. You don't need money to have the same opportunity as others to get some help. Even if you didn't see a therapist there are so many people on this group that you can talk too ☺️

Apply for health insurance through the Government...You and you baby are entitled to health insurance if your job does not offer it. Take the time and go online in your state...Do the research or go to the Human Resources/Services Center in your community and they will walk you through the process. As far as not making enough money to make ends meet...YOU ARE NOT ALONE! So many people in the world share that sentiment! You and your baby will be fine...This too shall pass. Give your babygirl all the "LOVE" you can and don't forget to "LOVE YOURSELF!"...

Unfortunately, a lot of people can empathize with you. This isn't something we can handle on our own, everyone needs support. Sometimes support can come from the most unlikely places. Feeling depressed and anxious can cloud your perception regarding what might be available or reasonable.

Take a deep breath and a step back from your situation for a moment to think about who might be able to provide you advice or options that you might not considered. The only way to break from this "cycle" of negative thoughts which can make you feel hopeless and helpless. You need to work yourself so that you can provide the best support to your child.

Your financial situation should not preclude you from receiving help if you need it.
