hi everyone, just need some views/comments from you guys.
I'm a mum to a gorgeous 6 month old girl (1st baby) and my whole life i have always been a bit useless with timekeeping, organisation etc...I love being at home with her, she is sleeping through the night, just started weaning and I just feel so lost! every day i get up and feel at a loss where to start (shower? housework? eat breakfast? exercise? food shopping?) i just sit there almost in a panic over what to do 1st and usually end up sitting there until she wakes up and then go 'well i can't do any of that now' my brain just seems like spaghetti! have always worked and this is the 1st time i have had a break but i feel like i have no motivation (other than to look after my daughter obv) to do anything. my other half works between 10-16 hours per day 6 days per week and the day he is off we never do anything as he's knackered and also lack of funds (atm) i am going out tonight and have had all last week to get ready (wanted to buy new top, get hair cut etc..) but i did nothing and now dreading going out. I am explaining all these little details but the bigger pic is I'M LOST!
I look at mums with 2 + kids & think how the hell do you do it ? Am also back to work in a few months and scared as s**t!
Am i depressed?? Is it because I've got too much time on my hands? I genuinely love being at home with her but feel like i have lost control of MY life completely...has anyone else experienced this??
