Dear xoSelf,
During the pandemic, I am really struggling with my mental health. I am against getting a vaccine so have decided to homeschool my children and between working from home, being the teacher to my kids, a wife to my spouse who works from home; I’m going crazy. I am so depressed some days I can barely pull myself out of bed, but I do. But I don’t know how many more days I can do this. Any advice.
