Struggling with Mental Health and Parenting

I feel like the only way I will be able to get help is if I admit myself into a hospital but I'm afraid to do that because I don't know what will happen to my son. his dad can't take off work and Im a stay at home mom. we don't have family near by and I honestly feel like I'm drowning here. I need inpatient care but the worry of my son keeps me out

      i think his dad can very well take off work, if you're having a health emergency then it's an emergency. everyone needs money but emergency comes before job

        @anemone need a job in order to continue to support us, keep our house, food, utilities and so on. Taking off work is not an option for him.

          @pebblerock if you needed emergency surgery, would he take off work? what if you had a stroke, would he take off work? inpatient mental health care is a similar level of emergency. my partner took time off to help me even though we are very poor and can't afford it. an emergency is an emergency, full stop

          @pebblerock inpatient care rarely lasts more than a week maximum 14days usually, just in case you didn't know

      idk how to help but i hope everything works out for you. all i can say is everything is temporary. it won't always be this bad. it won't be easy but it'll be worth it. ❤️
