I don't know what my expectations of parenthood were but I am absolutely sick to death of it and want to switch the off button. I honestly don't know what to do anymore.
Constant sickness Sept - April.
Sleepless nights continuously for the past 2 years. Daily 5am wake ups every single day of my life.
Have aged dramatically within 5 years and gone from being reasonably attractive and put together to a haggard mess.
No holiday or weekend day out has been remotely enjoyable.
Whinging, whining, constant demands.
House is a pig sty. Endless endless housework and food prep.
No money.
Husband no longer finds me attractive & marriage essentially over.
I asked the GP for antidepressants and he said no for now, wait until youngest is at nursery, things might settle down etc.
Where do I go from here? I feel like walking off a cliff or running away.
If you are a happy mum in a happy marriage please explain how the hell. Our family life is absolutely shit. I assume other mothers face the same as what I've described above so how do you remain happy and positive?? I just don't see how!
