Hello again Gemma, it looks like you are in a difficult place at the moment. I am sure some of our members will respond to your post. Being a single parent is difficult enough so I can sympathise, and not sleeping also makes you feel low. However I bet your child doesn't feel that way about you because you matter to him/her. Have you spoken with your health professional recently? Why not talk to someone who you trust and knows you. A problem or a feeling is better discussed to put it in perspective. Don't forget that the 'pinned posts' have the numbers for the crisis lines all over the world also the 'topic' section (like -Symptoms and Feelings) can help too.

We are here for you, talking helps, keep in touch Gemma.

Best wishes to you,

MAS Nurse and Moderator.

What medication do you take ? I ask this as some can bring about adverse side effects and exagerate how one feels

You have not been on your medication for very long. Allow a few more weeks and see how it goes. It is important you give the medicine time to work. If you fail to do that and keep going back to your GP, they change the script and you will go right through the list given time. What can happen eventually you will miss the one that does really help and your GP will run out of ideas. Try taking your medications in the evening, they will help you sleep
