Coping with stress and depression

[Pearceteri]

Hi I am new to the site. My mother passed away on Jan 31st 2020. I have two sister that have shunned me over little things I hav asked for their forgiveness bu they ignore me. Now with Covid and isolation I am a mess racing thoughts, no sleeping or wanting to eat and depressions. I have been afraid to leave the house and I don’t know why. Does anyone have any suggestions that might help.

Firstly welcome to the forum :). Speak to a therapist . Sorry to hear re your Mum that must have been hard. Please share if you ever want to how your feeling . What is preventing you from going out ? Can you walk up the garden path for example? Always hear if you want to talk
