Hi @SundayGirl20 , welcome. Sorry to hear about your loneliness and your unhappy marriage. It's good that you've joined the forums for some support at this difficult time of lockdown. 

Do you have any professional support for your clinical depression and potential anxiety? A psychologist, psychiatrist, supportive GP or maybe meds?

If you're homeschooling your son during lockdown, that would also be hard. I hope you are OK.

Hi @SundayGirl20,

I'm fairly new to this too. I can relate to a lot of what you wrote. My 8 yr old son is being home schooled at the moment and he has behavioural issues which is difficult. I also have depression and anxiety. I'm happy to chat if ever you want someone to talk to.😊

Hi and welcome @SundayGirl20 , I am sorry you feel so lonely, you have definitely come to the right place. We are always up of a chat and to listen to whatever you need to say. I was in an unhappy marriage for 13 yrs and was staying for the kids but in the end I had to walk away. So I can feel your pain. I am happy to chat or listen whenever you want.
