I can't describe how I feel right now... It hit me so hard.. I always said that the only thing that can possibly break me is my children and here I am broken, torn apart. All I can think of is my beautiful baby girl, my first child. I thought I can concur the world for her instead I am falling apart. I know in my heart how wrong it is, I am terrified what else is yet to come. I just need help in finding professional help. NOT somebody who can pat her on the back and reassure that mom is crazy. There got to be a way! Where do I find help?
I am so sorry for your situation. If you can find a helpful therapist to help you find your own way to be resilient in the face of this thing, that will be good. It is a very difficult time to find good-quality psychiatric help.
I encourage you to post in the members-only area, where your post is more likely to be seen and receive replies.
You can find advice here on how to make sure that you get a good therapist by asking a lot of questions before you agree to hire them; because there are a lot of not so good ones out there . . . and they can do a lot of damage, and waste a lot of your time and money too.
But, this forum also exists as a place where you can reassure yourself that you are not crazy and you are not the only one going through this crazy period of history in our cultures, and you can find some comfort in that. Some people use this forum as a place to vent their emotions, to try to explain clearly what they are experiencing, to read about the experiences of other parents and see if they can recognize patterns, to get advice from other parents whose children are further along in this horrible phase, to get news on what is happening in the wider world . . .
Mainly, I hope you can find some comfort from knowing that you are not alone.
