No motivation.. HELP!

[Leigh92]

I need some advice, my son is five months old and I have a 6 year old daughter too. Before I had my son I'd always get up before everyone else and have my shower and do my make up and get dressed so I was ready for the day ahead and now I'm doing the school run without showering and generally slob around most of the day. I leave washing and housework till very last minute, I just don't have the motivation to do anything. I'm not happy within myself, I lost my baby weight but I can feel myself gaining weight again. I've returned back to work but only 30 hours a week but I'm struggling with it. I'm so tired all the time but I'm getting enough sleep as my son sleeps 8-8 so I'm very lucky in that sense. I'm just feeling like the worst mum as most nights I rattle off some excuse as to why I can't read my 6 year old a bed time story simply because I can't be bothered I just want to do nothing. I don't know what's wrong with me. I need someone to tell me that this will go away and I'll get back to my normal self😥

Hi OP,

I would suggest you get your thyriod levels checked with your GP this was the cause in my change of tiredness / mood.
