Massive first-world problems claxon warning before I begin...
I was a very successful professional before first DS 5 years ago but ultimately couldn't afford childcare and have no local family (we moved recentlay) so now DS2 is 3 I've been at home for years and feel totally divorced from my profession and who I was before kids. I now feel on a treadmill of housework and school runs (DH does long hours so it's just me and the kids during the week). Every week is the same. I feel I have nothing interesting or intelligent to say to anyone as nothing new happens in my life so I keep myself to myself, I tend to avoid seeing old friends because I don't feel like I have anything to contribute. I started anti-depressants before Christmas but they disagreed with me so I'm trying some others. I feel like my life is stretching ahead of me, like I'm looking at years of the same thing, the same treadmill. We struggled to conceive DS1, this was all I wanted at one point, I feel so awful that I'm not enjoying not my life but is this as good as it gets?
