I feel so damn sad

[OhToBeASeahorse]

Any one else?

Yes

@Drbrowns want to offload? Sorry you're feeling shitty too

What are you feeling sad about, anything in particular?

We are on 'holiday' at the moment. DS nearly 3 literally does not let up unless he is asleep. He demands constant interaction. Meltdowns at nothing.

DD 8 months. Wakes anything from 3 to 10+ times a night. I had made progress with the cot at home but she hates her travel cot so that's gone to shit.

Just never have any time. Constantly getting ready to go or chivvying DS aling or trying to get DD to sleep. Both me and DD ill.

Both have suspected allergies (and she is feeding) so eating out is usually more hassle than it's worth.

Just have no happiness in anything.

You sound exhausted, it is hard when they're this young & they need you so much. Do you have any support?

Aw Seahorse it will get better. It's difficult for so many parents.

It's very tiring and exhausting and stressful and not much joy for many at this stage. Doesn't help that you don't feel well. Is there any chance that you can escape for an hour then come back and get a cup a tea and biccie?

Is there a DH there?

I'd like you to feel less damn sad, btw

I’ve also got a 3 year old and an 8 month old. Mine don’t melt down and do sleep (though they have their own issues! Definitely not perfect!) and I’m sat here trying not to cry.

It’s a hard stage. We’ll get through it x

Yes. My DS is only nine weeks old and everyone says how well I'm doing - I really feel like I have been but suddenly in the last week or so I've just run out of steam and I had a complete breakdown yesterday

I have no idea how you manage with two I hope you can get some support and a break really soon x

Thank you everyone

@Frownette yes DH here. Last night he slept in DS's room rather than disturb me and DD by going in. He gets up with DS every single morning.

I just get no enjoyment. Today was gorgeous and we went to the beach for the morning (can only do a couple of hrs to get home for naptime but that's fine). Took my costume and really wanted a swim with DH. DD was feeling rough and had a meltdown in the tent after 20 mins so I ended up just bringing her back to the house.

What's the point? I'm tired.of constantly reasoning, thinking and trying.
