Anyone feeling fed up and not enjoying life?

I feel so stupid saying this as really I have a nice life and lovely ds and dh. I've just got stuck into a rut of eating badly, sleeping badly and generally not looking after myself. I haven't exercised since my ds was born 3 years ago and generally feel rubbish about myself but can't seem to get myself out of this miserable hole! Anyone else feel like this?!

Sometimes. I just put so much pressure on myself I don't know if I'm coming or going.

Me. I’m really down at the moment.

My job has changed, I don’t like what I’m doing, I don’t like my new boss, and I’ve already been reprimanded for something that’s nothing to do with me but the person it is to do with has tried to drop me in it Hmm

I’m fucking fed up of my lazy husband, does the bare minimum at home and doesn’t have a job. Had a huge blow up a few months ago where I told him I can’t do everything including all the thinking for him - he’s slowly crept back into asking me what to do for tea, should I wash these clothes etc.

I’m also fat and ugly and have money worries so I’m really not very happy right now.

Me too. I’m struggling today.

Have an amazing Ds but I’ve been temping and there’s no work at the moment so I’m utterly broke. There’s just me and him, and I’m so scared for the school holidays and juggling everything as he has 10 weeks off.

My house is a tip and I don’t know where to start.

I’m feeling really scared and overwhelmed and lost.

Me too. I’m massively overweight through comfort eating, worrying about debts, have DCs with significant health problems, no friends and don’t know which way to turn. My heart goes out to you all feeling the same way.

Forgot to add that my house is a mess too Catscratch so I can relate to that. I think when you’re really low, it’s hard to get motivated about anything. I have washing in my machine for several days, re-wash it and then leave it there again as I have no energy. Chronic pain condition doesn’t help me either.

Me , I have a husband I don't particularly get on with , he never talks to me , doesn't parent the children , so I am left to do everything , financially we earn he same , but he pays for the house and half groceries i do everything else, to be fair the husband only notice
Me if he fancy's his leg over !
I don't have many friends other than work
Colleagues and the one friend I do have ( know Since I was a toddler) my husband doesn't like me going out with him ( I still do
Occasionally only when I can be bothered to
Fight the battle )
It's worse when I have annual leave ( this week and next) as I suddenly remember just how lonely and fed up I am, of course I know the answer , just atm can't find the strength to do it.

God that was longer than I intended ,

Yes retreat I do that with the washing too Blush

I made Ds bed for him for first time in ages at the weekend (he’s in a bunk bed so it normally just get pulled over) and he was SO touched. I’d lined his teddies up and turned back the corner for him. Its the one thing I’ve kept up each day as his reaction was so lovely. Made me realise I need to up my standards for him though.

Flowers for everyone in same boat - one day at a time eh?
