[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Been alone with kids for multiple days stuck inside due to covid and stomach bug and I start to feel suicidal and desperate. I can’t leave and it’s the long exhausting days and not feeling well. I can’t get help and dh is away on a business trip. What do you do in a situation like this? Rationally I won’t but I keep considering it to get out of the situation of feeling trapped and desperate and unsupported. [/quote]

Put your kids in a mask if they are able to keep one on, and go to the store. Yeah I know people are going to say I am a terrible person but I promise there are tons of moms doing that right now in this area bc they too are struggling like you are. The change of pace will help you and the kids. You don't have to buy anything or need anything. Just go to Target, Walmart, grocery store and wander the aisles. Go to the McDs drive through and get you and the kids something.

You can get meds from your primary care doctor. If you want therapy you can find a therapist through your insurance. But the doctor isn't going to require you to do that to get the meds. They give out prescriptions all the time. It's routine.

Reaching out and asking for help doesn't make you weak or someone who can't handle your own life. Reach out to someone and say hey I am really struggling with the kids, any chance you can come over for an hour and help entertain them.  [/quote]
