Fed up

[christie10]

Stay at home mums how do you cope with boredom?

I have 2 girls and currently pregnant with my third girl, my partner works while I take care of the children.
Lately I’ve been so miserable, I’ve suffered with depressions for years and attended talking therapy which helped massively but I feel myself slipping back.
I don’t have many friends and I don’t do anything for myself all it seems like I do is cook and clean up after everyone.
I’d loved a hobby or part time job but finding it difficult to commit to full time work due to child care and being pregnant.
Does anyone have any recommendations for work from home jobs or online courses that might help me?
Thanks

Im the same. Im actually getting lots of physical symptoms of stress. I didn't think boredom can cause stress but apparently it can. I have a 6 years old and a 2 year old. Im unbelievably bored. Just started a new training course that should help me get to work soon. Not having much luck finding a job so far but early days. In loving the online training course. So nice to engage my brain. Open university do lots of free small courses on many topics so worth a look.

On mat leave. Podcasts and books on a mobile kindle app. Feed the brain.

PODCASTS ! honestly you can laugh, learn maybe even cry at them. Just download an app, I use PocketCast and there are trending ones but basically whatever you are interested in there will be a podcast for you.

I also listen to audio books, you don't have to be sitting, you can be cooking or cleaning and feeding your brain.

Went back to college part-time. It was the relief I needed. I don't get to see my husband much throughout the day. So it was jus me and 4 boys.. Met a few new friends some are parents so also began to enjoy great days out 😀
I'm not a fan of mummy groups as I find there are alot of cliques so college was the best option.
