I feel so weary

T - stop cleaning and rest find a good book and curl up and read it - DoN't worry abouit your house - mine is cluttered and sure other people's are what is more important is for you to rest let me know when for a visit - take care flower miss you xx

Titania, housework doesn't matter. You do. Your little ones don't care if the house is immaculate. Please, take it easy. Have you talked to your hv about this? Please look after yourself. You're more important than a house.

oh Titania! honestly you'd die if you saw the way I live, most of the time its a complete state. Clean underneath tho.... I hope!

I bet you had the neatest and cleanest dolls house ever!

Trying to keep a house clean and tidy when you have little kids is like trying to sweep up leaves on a very windy day, you have to just leave it, and accept that the house might get messy sometimes but you certainly aren't the only one!

Please take some time for yourself Titania, and relax.....

SIT DOWN!!

honestly love whats gonna happen if it isn't cleaned today? you do a bit more when you do get round to it? is that so awful?

NO! don't clean - sit down and relax.

Hi,just saw your thread Titania and know exactly how you feel.I was on 20mg cipramil and like you felt so tired all the time,dizzy and shakey.I have a ds of 3 and a dd of 2 and they don't sleep in the day now ethier.
I came off the cipramil in december and although i still have my bad days i have found the tiredness and dizzy spells are not as bad.I found on the tablets i could not cry if i'd wanted to and although my Hv said that was a good thing i think sometimes having a good cry does you good to get it out instead of bottling it all up.
I like you have no family or friends network to rely on and that i think is part of my priblem,it is so hard being on your own with just your children as much as we love them with no adult conversation at all.
Keep your chin up and maybe discuss with your doctor about getting some CBT therapy.I am on a programme at the moment and it challenges your negative thoughts which i know i have many.
I t just lets you look at the altenatives instead
of making everything black and white.
Hope this helps,i know how you are feeling and it is very difficult to explain to someone who is not going through it,especally family members i find
best wishes

it will drive you mad if you keep getting pestered - take a deep breath and log off MN for a bit! Go and sort out some grub for dd and bung tv on...go on be brave, log off!! But come back later when kids are busy. xxx

does your child have a sleep? can you have 20 mins too?

can you bung on cbeebies for child while you lie on sofa and flip through mag?

How are you feeling?

I can't remember what's happening for you with ADs - have you changed brand or dose?

Uh Oh! Could be a cold then!

Can you strike a balance between getting jobs done that will give you that nice glow of satisfaction, and making sure you give yourself enough rest? Moving house is incredibly stressful, and IME the effects last for months! Anyway, hope you get through today ok, an hour at a time.

Titania, could you be iron deficient? I know when I was anaemic I was so tired and lethargic.

Glad you got a good nights sleep, anyway. It's really important - I'm like a mad demon if I'm tired.
I wonder why you are so lethargic and sick feeling? Any ideas what that could be? Have you ever had your thyroid levels checked? It goes along with feeling depressed, I think. Or maybe you are going down with a cold or PMT? A nice bubbly bath sounds like a good idea at some stage.

So sorry to hear you're down Titania. I hear ya on the cleaning thing though (totally like monica here from friends lol)
I noticed you said that no friends lived near you. Whereabouts are you? Kettering, Northants here.
Take care

Are the children with you at the moment? If not go and run a hot bath and relax. Or have a siesta.

Titania {{{hugs}}}

I agree with the others that housework is no where near as important as your well being. Sounds like you need a day of pampering yourself.
