Could I have a ppp.
Just wondering is experiencing similar as I feel really isolated. My last child has just started secondary school so after 14 years of primary school, I have no school run to do. This I WAS looking forward to but the lady couple of weeks I have had this very heavy feeling and have felt a mixture of severe lowness as well as crippling anxiety. Having had my first child at 19 I have always had a little one and lots of mum friends. I feel now that Ive lost the identity and I don’t really have a core base of friends. I work on my own as a domestic cleaner which works around the kids but also is quite isolating. I have joined a Pilates class but haven’t found my people there and I go to therapy but nothing’s shaking this feeling. I either spiral or feel empty and my kids are sensing something’s wrong. My mum passed away last year after 3 years of mental health issues so I think that’s a contributing factor too. I feel like I’m moaning about nothing, but the feelings are overwhelming at this point and I do have intrusive thoughts, like why am I even here. I know my kids still need me, is it just that chance and a new era of my life I have to adapt to?
Thanks for reading and any input would be great x
