Insomnia, anxiety and depression

[Freckles1968]

Hi, just wondered if anyone here suffers from chronic insomnia. I’ve barley slept in 2 weeks and feel like I’m losing my mind. If I don’t sort this out I’m gonna lose my job and I’m a single mum with no one to help me. Feel so lost and scared. Please help
