Feeling really nervous as I have never posted on Mumsnet before. Just need to write down how I am feeling, I hope that even the act of writing it down will help me.
I have 3 lovely boys, a five year old and three year old twins. I have't gone back to work since the twins and my husband works long hours and often doesn't see the boys in the day. However, the twins go to nursery for 15 hours a week so I do get a break in the termtime. Was diagnosed with mild depression recently and have been put on antidepressants which have helped.
I just seem to have lost all self confidence in myself and recently have feelings of painc that I can't cope when I know I can. I also feel constantly guilty that I'm not doing enough for the kids, and should be spending more time with them and doing more exciting things!
Sorry for the self indulgent post. Have to dash off now to do tea.
