@Former-MemberThe things you are talking about are almost the same that I have been discussing on my thread just a little while ago.Yes, self care must be difficult for you when you have children to take care of; their needs are great. But self care can be the smallest things. Like taking a shower, making a coffee for yourself, and taking time out, even if it's only 5mins. It doesn't have to be a lot. And I think guilt and shame often go hand in hand with mental illness, and are hard to be rid of. Do you feel comfortable sharing more of what you feel guilty and shameful of?
