Bad day today

So today I have had a bad day and am not doing good with my mental health keep crying due to my depression as my depression is very new it’s hard to come to terms with.
also I am caring for my mum who has breathing problems and is getting worse I am a young carer so any other young carers that can offer tips would be great.
I just feel so sad and alone and want people to talk to and support me as best as they can
hope people reply to me and talk to me

It sounds like its been pretty tough for you today, and that you are struggling with your depression and on top of that caring for your mum. It seems like you have a lot going on but we are here to support you. Have you talked to anyone else about how you have been feeling?
It sounds difficult to be feeling alone, we are here to support you.
Im also a carer too
Ill try and Find some links but myself and other members of the community have done some threads around a different topics that young carers might face or might be interested in.
Heres a few of the links that I’ve dug out our the Coronavirus section of the boards
https://community.themix.org.uk/discussion/3596713/ycp-covid-19-education#latest
https://community.themix.org.uk/discussion/3596388/managing-coronavirus-as-a-carer#latest

It may also be worth googling to see who is your local Young carers charity for your area and getting in touch with them , when Covid is over I know they can offer 1-2-1 support and group activities etc that give you a break from your care role and the chance to meet other young/young adult carers
and thanks for the links
