I’ve been going through legal situation for the last year (with father of my child). Two home moves, a lot of life stress.
Had bouts of depression a few times in life. I’m 39 now in life. But whenever I’ve had them they’ve been caused by situational stress. LO is 15 months nearly.
Lost my baby weight quickly. Simply because I can’t eat that much (and I love food, used to love cooking. But only have mental and physical energy to cook for my LO and can’t stand sight of food myself).
I went through a stage of drinking wine in the evenings to help settle my mind at night time but have stopped that a while a go as needed more as time went on to settle my mind and hated how it made me feel the next day.
But I’ve started picking at my skin. And now my nails. More so my toe nails as no one would see them (although summer is coming and now god knows I’ll have to keep them covered). But today I woke up and regretted it that I’ve started weirdly doing this lately. I’ve barely any nails left on my toes. They’re bleeding. Super sore and if I do any more damage to them it’ll be way too painful to walk 🤦♀️.
Admittedly ive also not been showering as much the last 6 months nor brushing my teeth unless I really have to / going somewhere. This was so unlike me as I used to look after myself before!
Been taking sertraline for last 6 months which has helped and numbs the depression / low mood to a point. But it’s not a magic pill. It’s still there.
Maybe I’m on the wrong med. when I googled what I was doing to myself. Kind of self sabotaging myself physically? I guess.
Googled it after a friend said there’s a name for what I’m doing recently. Have screen shotted what came up. It sounds a bit true some of it I guess.
Any advice? And anyone been through this?
Thanks 🙏
