[quote=Anonymous]OP--also can you explore whether your health plan allows virtual counseling? sounds like you need professional help and would be worth exploring that along with meds. I think we all normally rely on support systems that we just can't access now. I also find that just talking to another adult -- in person, not on the phone or through a screen - makes a huge huge difference to me. So I make it a point, and have one or two friends who are single and live alone who help with this, to stop by and have a chat with a neighbor or friend with us standing outside, at least 10 feet apart. We just keep it short but I have found it is a lifesaver. Also if there is any chance that you can get up early and get out the door for a 10 minute walk before dh has to leave for work, do it. I find starting the day with that outside walk--which I used to get on my way to the metro--restores a sense of normalcy. If you need to, throw the youngest in the stroller to do it. [/quote]
