Greetings ! I have cerebral palsy and I am very tired of living.
I have depression and apathy.....
Are there any moms who also have children with cerebral palsy.
I wonder if you could give me moral support.
It's very difficult when you don't have someone to turn to with questions.

    The depression fog can be so difficult to shake and get out of, it's such an uphill climb and one that is lonely. The first stage is looking at reasons to keep going, things you enjoy. How old are you @Alexxxis? Do you have some close friends?

    Hi @Alexxxis

    It's good to meet you. I live with cerebral palsy too. I'm also a parent. Have you reached out to your GP to discuss how you are feeling?

    I will happily try to answer any questions that you may have.

    Hi @Richard_Scope

    Nice to meet you too!

    I haven't seen a doctor.

    I'm from a post-Soviet country.

    Here such delicate things are treated with disdain.

    Hi @Alexxxis

    I'm Sara and have right sided CP and epilepsy. It's lovely to have you on the community.

    These disabilities can take it's toll and there are days I feel exhausted, but on the good days I try to find moments that make me happy or just smile. This can be spending time with family, watching Christmas movies or comedy on TV.

    I'm a mum to a grown up son, age 21. Parenting with a disability was tough, but I found a way. Once my son understood how I did things, he helped me and it helped him to learn as well.

    Our CP community are here to support you. Please get in touch if you need to talk.

    Take care.
