My dad had skin cancer on scalp, its spread to lymph nodes and we are awaiting tests to see if it has spread. I'm terrified. On top of that my mum is having urgent operation, I am being made redundant in 6 weeks, and my husband is also at risk of redundancy we just find out. Now landlord wants house back so we have to move in this pandemic with multiple cats so it's not easy. I am going between numbness, denial, positivity, and crying. I am already on antidepressants before this. I think I'm going crazy, has anyone been in a situation where it's just too much?
hi
so sorry to hear about what you are going through, so much happening one on top of another it is no wonder you are struggling.
i have had times when standing in the shower i would just start to sob, so yes sometimes things can seem like they are plotting against us, however it is good to reach out and talk at times like that. If it helps do ring the helpline here 0808 808 0000 it is open 8am-8pm seven days a week and if you need to talk to someone when that is closed you could ring the Samaritans on 116 123, they are open 24/7 and are ready to listen to any problem.
<<hugs>>
