everything is getting too much

[LilBB]

I feel like I can't cope anymore and I don't know what to do. We have problem neighbours that we have been trying to sort out since they moved in last may, a dd who doesn't always sleep, we have been trying for another baby since august which highlighted a hormone problem which has now been sorted but I had a miscarriage just before Christmas. We've also had a couple of tough months financially and are trying to sell a house that is proving difficult. We need enough to pay off our mortgage but who wants to buy a house with awful neighbours? We are also going to be left with no equity so have to start again renting whilst we save another deposit. I'm exhausted. Even when I'm not being kept awake by next door or dd I just can't sleep. I'm on edge all the time and have massive mood swings. I go from losing my temper to really down. I often cry on the way home from work when I start thinking about everything. I don't know what to do. I want to pack up the house and just leave. Let it get repossessed and turn my back on it. I know it's stupid but that's how much I feel I need to get away from the life we have. I have thought about going to the GP but don't know if he could help me. I worry that if I start telling people how I feel they will think I'm a failure

Nobody will think you're a failure!!!!! Stop thinking that right now. Living with horrible neighbours is enough to send most people bananas even without the other stuff you've been through!! Have you reported them to the council/police? Have you recorded the noise they make as evidence? If not, maybe that could be your first step.

Does your DP know you are feeling like this? Make sure you talk to him about it. And definitely go to your GP - they are usually very sympathetic and quite used to this as it's very common. Don't suffer on your own!
