I'm posting this while I'm calm- on something of a 'good day'. I'd just like some input into whether this could be a 'mental health issue' or whether I just need to get a grip.
Life has not been going well this year- I have several threads on here. But basically I've had a bereavement, various other emotional upheaval and some family issues which are still going on.
I'm managing to cope day to day, with kids and a very demanding job. I'm able to socialise OK, and look forward to seeing friends.
But during any time alone, I fall to pieces. My DH works evenings, and I can be cheery as anything while dealing with the kids, but once they're in bed, that's it. I cry and cry until I'm exhausted. Even if I try to distract myself, I cry. I will literally be cleaning the kitchen with tears streaming down my cheeks.
It isn't just evenings, I have a ten minute journey home from work, during which I end up in floods of tears.
Now, I'm not sure if it is some kind of depression, or whether it's just normal. I mean, I'm crying because I'm very sad, right?
My DH is wonderfully supportive, but I haven't told him how bad I'm feeling.
Ii can't decide whether I need to get some kind of help, or simply do a better job of filling my time until it passes.
