[quote=Anonymous]First I was anxious about getting sick, or running out of food.

Then I got sad hearing all the reports from Italy and elsewhere in the world (and predictions for the future here).

Now I'm worried I'm getting seriously depressed.

I'm a SAHM of 3 kids (6, 3, baby).  DH is working long hours from home.  You'd think I'd be used to being at home with the kids, but I actually would rarely go more than a day or two max without leaving the house.  We were out and about all the time, more I think than I'd even appreciated before this.  And the oldest was in school, and the 3 year old had preschool three mornings a week, so I had time alone with the baby.

Now I just am feeling really dark and I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel.  This will end, yes.  But after how long?  The uncertainty, the grief, the worry about my elderly parents - it's all getting to me.  And with 3 kids to care for (and homeschool?!) I barely have time to escape (by watching netflix or reading or whatever else people are doing).
