Motherhood without a support system

Hello, I hope everyone is doing well.

I would like to share my situation.

I am from Portugal and I have been living here for almost three years. My baby is 10 months old, and I have been struggling with depression since pregnancy.

It has been very difficult not having a support system here, such as family or close friends. I often feel lost. I have had suicidal thoughts, but what helps me get through them is my baby.

Is there any other mother here going through something similar?
 
It is. Even when you do have a support system. The lack of sleep. Fingering out why the baby is crying this time, while you feel like crying yourself.
