The author expresses feelings of isolation and sadness as a full-time parent to two young boys, struggling to engage in meaningful conversations and feeling devalued in social situations. They reflect on a past life filled with confidence and sociability, starkly contrasting with their current experience of overwhelming responsibilities and emotional distress. Eleanor underscores the importance of acknowledging these feelings as signs of potential depression and anxiety, emphasizing the necessity of professional help to navigate and improve their mental health.
If you feel this bad this often, something is badly wrong: feeling better matters more than a lot else on your to-do list.
Depression is one of the worst things that can happen to a person... Trying to resolve this level of consistent distress yourself is like driving around with the brakes cut.
