Unlike any ordinary uni student, I am also a mother with a 7 months old toddler.
Some days I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulder; and to be doing uni full-time is taking a toll on my mental health. I am depressed, anxious and exhausted.
Don't get me wrong, I love my child a lot, it's just that these are sometimes too much to hold it all together. I want to take care of my child, be a good mom; but at the same time, I want to succeed in my studies, be an excellent student, and a good friend to my classmates. However, I sometimes just don't have the energy for anything anymore. I don't have time to focus on myself, it's like I'm dug till empty on the inside. I don't have anything to offer anymore.
Whenever I thought of this, I feel lonely because no one around me can understand.
How can one actually know how I am feeling when I myself don't even know how I should feel anymore?
