Hi, could I have a private post please.

I Think I need some help 😢……
I’m a single working mum to two young boys. I’ve been single for just over a year.
I’ve not had an easy last 4years and won’t go into details, but during this time I’ve had moments of stress and low moods etc, but always managed to sort myself out.
But recently I can’t cope……ive had thoughts of suicide (but would never do it as my boys are my world and I couldn’t imagine leaving them behind). I have no friends at all!!! And even when I try to make friends I just don’t seem to fit in. And that’s if I get time between working and being mum.
I’ve started suffering with panic Attacks, which I’ve never had before. And I’m spending money uncontrollably on everything, food, clothes, toys etc
My family are all busy enjoying their lives and rarely have time for me and my kids. and I don’t feel I can discuss this with them, we are not that close.
I’m suppose to be going to a wedding this evening, but the thought of going out is terrifying me and I just can’t bring myself to do it!!
I have cried all day today (thankfully boys are at their dads untill tonight so haven’t seen me).

So what I would like to know is, what can I do to sort myself out? Would ‘antidepressants’ help? Do they work? Would social services get involved if I went to the doctors, as this is the last thing I want.
I’m not going to take a break from work as I’ll then worry about money and keeping a roof over our heads, and to be honest it gets me out the house. Otherwise I would hide away all day and night.

any help would be greatly appreciated as I’m at a loss at what to do xx
