Seeing things and I'm hungry

I think it might be stress, trauma or because I want kids in general but social services said I could have a baby and they would support me... whereas police said as soon as I have another 136 mental health section "they'll take my baby off me...? Because 136 mean I'm an unfit mom

Saw a random baby in my rented flat 

Then vanished 

No food in the fridge, only eating one meal a day- super stress

Maybe the world is telling me I should have a kid?

    Do you feel ready and well enough to care for a baby right now @Girluk55? It's a big commitment and a pretty thankless 24/7 job with no breaks.

    If you're not in a position to fill your fridge it may be worth waiting a little while until things are a bit better for you, as children are very expensive too. How comes you're only managing one meal a day?

    Sorry to hear things are super stressful @Girluk55. As others have said, it sounds like you're going through a lot and looking after another little being can definitely be hard work.

    Do you need any help getting food in? If you're struggling with money you can speak to your GP and they may be able to refer you to a food bank. There's some information here that might be useful to you if that's the case: https://www.scope.org.uk/advice-and-support/food-no-money-food-banks
