Just writing into the abyss. Crappy MH today

No responses needed. I need to vent.
A warbling woe blurgh. MH is low today. I can't cope today and can't interrupt real life people to tell them.. Anyway I'm too teary to say anything coherent.

My body aches.
I'm so tired but cannot sleep.
There's so much to do.

I'm supposed to be working (at home) but my brain is foggy.
I can't stop crying.
I'm usually smiley and annoyingly positive.
I've just had a go at my youngest for state of his wardrobe and clothes under the bed. I hate myself. He's autistic, life is hard enough without mum being an arse.
I've sworn because there's 5 tea towels dumped on the kitchen surface, out all used.... fucking put them in the washing machine or laundry if used. Fucking recycling all left out for me to deal with.
I haven't seen friends for weeks as the children been hit by covid (not me).
I feel lonely.
It's half term and I can't do fun things cos I need to work. How shitty is that for the kids.
Prince Andrew is an utter arse and there better not 1 penny of tax payers money spent on him avoiding the truth.

Government intending to remove free covid testing, essential for CEV's. CEV's been thrown under the bus.

Going to have a big cry then make lunch, load up the washing machine, cuddle the pets then back work.

Sorry you're feeling so shit. I was feeling similar a few weeks ago although my DCs are adult/late teen so less pressure there.

I have terrible trouble being motivated to wfh when I feel low then I end up working all evening to make up for it.

It's such a massive cliche so I apologise but can you get out for a walk and some fresh air? (Maybe not if there's still covid in the house) I also drink loads and loads of water when I'm down. Somehow a walk and a massive glass of water gives me enough of a boost to power through for a few hours.

Be kind to yourself. Life can be shit and difficult - you are doing a great job in really tough circumstances. Sending hugs.

@phobophobia
Thank you. I can relate to evening working yo do what I could have done whilst I'm sat here in unfocused dreamland.

I'm going to try the water drinking.

I hope you are in a better place and stay there. Thank you x

It's up and down @TheMooch but ok for now. I find it so hard to open up to people in RL so I always appreciate MN for that.

Hope your day improves.

Hi OP sorry to hear you are feeling low. I've been that way today as well. Flowersnot helped by the rubbish weather, general house stuff (looking at our piles of recycling to sort as I speak) hope things improve.

@TheMooch if it makes you feel any better I am sure some more knowledgeable mumsnetters have said that the Queen is bailing out her sweaty nonce son from her own purse.

TheMooch · 16/02/2022 14:42

Oranges, may we both awake tomorrow annoying beaming and skipping. If not see you here for a wallow.

And Prince Andrew needs a big boulder to hide under.

"Hello mummy, can I have £12m. from your purse please? ...... what's it for ? Oh just giving it to some girl I've never met..."

@TheMooch - sorry you are having a sad and bad day. But thank you - your comments regarding PA made me laugh unexpectedly.

Also, the things you are ranting about at home are not unreasonable. Don’t be too hard on yourself Flowers
