Beggining to feel like i cant cope with ANYTHING :(

[Helenemjay]

I have been on anti d's for a while now, they work really well most of the time but im such a terrible control freak - i had no idea how bad i was my dp has got a sickness bug that is going around and is moping around moaning and now my mum has it and has cancelled a coffe morning - poor thing she cant help it, but with my kids having been ill aswell im starting to feel sooooo low, i am a lucky girl and i have lots to be happy about, but im feeling so down the last few days why do i get so stressed and upset the second things become out of my control? FGS how selfish am i!

You are not selfish!! I think the control thing is part of being a mother, I get really upset these days if there is something out of my control or that I can't fix. I never used to be like this before I had ds, I just can't let go anymore. You are not alone.

Thanks katyjo, its weird isnt it? why is it so hard to just accept that sometimes things go crazy and you just have to sit tight and wait til things get normal again, i feel like some psycho woman!

Helen - u are not selfish, you have depression and it's very difficult to focus on anyone else's problems when u are depressed/stressed yourself.

I am the same. Don't be hard on yourself.
