Dear Dr Jani,
I am a lady of 33 years and a mother to a 2 years 10 month old boy. I am a reserved person by nature due to lot of turmoil in my life. Though I always tried to move on accepting everything but deep in my heart I feel too depressed and sad most of the time. After my son was born in 2020 I took the complete responsibility of him and now he started going to playgroup school😍. I never liked taking help from anyone in my daily life or in bringing up my child. That was my wish always. I am settled in Karnataka with my husband and I cannot take my parents help to bring up my child as they are settled in west Bengal and have responsibilities towards my sister and grandmother. So Last few months back i had to resign from my job and become a full time mother and homemaker.I had worked for the last 7 years and now suddenly I m into a different role. I still yarn to get back to work and have a life like before. As I left my job I hv lost respect in the eyes of many people . I feel really depressed . Will I be able to join back to work is a questionable truth. It kills me to be dependent on my husband but at the same time my son needs me too. I am unable to manage myself . I feel I hv lost myself . I feel low for not being able to support myself and my family Like how I did before.Hardly I get time for myself now as I m busy with home and son but deep down in my heart I feel I m waiting for some good change to happen which will make me happy and independent. Kindly guide me.
Regards
Piyalee
