Taken on a task and feel very overwhelmed

[Sreddy]

Everything was good and in place and I had to go and turn it upside down. Now alone with a child 7 yr old. Feel alone, scared and very guilty.

Want it all to go back to as it was as this is effecting my child. He must be seeing it too. If we made adjustments that neither were making at same time, this would have turned out well for our child.

Dear Sreddy

Hello and welcome to Beyond Blue. It's good you have found this site and very brave to write in. Many people find writing their first post daunting and keep putting it off.

Being alone is very scary, especially when you have the responsibility of caring for your child. I think most of would like to go back to a time when everything was good. Can you tell us what has happened? It sounds as though you have separated from your husband/partner. Is this right? Partings are sad and if you can find a way to get together again I'm sure you will do this.

In the meantime write in here so that we can support and help you. If you want to talk to someone about your difficulties remember the BB helpline is available 24/7, 1300 22 4636
