Do you ever have them days where all you wanna do is sleep? Feel like your not good enough or the house work gets so overwhelming that you just want to cry? I have felt like this all day and I cant shake the feeling. I did do the house work and I done all my usual things I needed to do, but that feeling was there. So I was thinking of having a mental health day this week, I work from home so I can still do the odd bits I need to. Im sure my boss wouldn’t even mind me having the whole day off if I speak to him.
So my question is what would you do, if you had the whole day off until pick up for school? What type of thing makes you feel better. Im 28 and feel like the world is on my shoulders, money worries and the usual. I just want to take a day to myself.
My daughter (4) don’t sleep I mean like couple hours then she is up again. So im constantly tired from being up with her or putting her back to bed. If she gets in mine I end up on the sofa or at the bottom of the bed. So I don’t think this helps either being sleep deprived, im one of those once im up it take a while for me to fall back to sleep. By the time I do shes more then likely up again. I wanna have that feeling of being refreshed and energetic again. I used to take my dogs on a two hour walk every morning, come back do some work, cleaning, everything I needed to and was just loving life, now I feel like I cant do anything feel so bad. I don’t get 5 minutes to myself either, my partner is like having a second child some times just wanaa tell him to F off lol.

Sorry to keep going on just looking for advice on what I can do for the day? Thank you. One very tired and stressed mum.

I feel your pain. I have DC at home and DH can be like a child to.

For me, so many options, it would be difficult to decide. For me, the day would come and go very quickly regardless of what I did.

Have a sofa day with snacks. Bit I'm dieting and would great restless easily.

Go shopping for a few hours. Except nothing ever fits and/or I never see anything I like.

Sleep, but I would feel that a waste Of the the day.

Go to spa. Expensive.

Go for a beauty treatment. Possibly.

What ever I did, I wouldn't tell anyone I had the day off. In fact, I would say I was in a workshop in the office all day and cannot access my phone at all.
