I don't like to get out of bed in the mornings. I feel constantly like I am not good enough to make new friends, not a good enough mum, that my children are the least intelligent or least well behaved. I don't like to talk to people unless I have to. I struggle to make small talk at school and do it for my Dc's sake. Always feel like I'm on the outside and people generally don't really like me :(

I use to be like that until I had my son and I thought the only person that matters is him people either take me as I am or not at all

That's sad that you feel like this and I hope you feel better soon. How old are your children? Are these feelings new or have you felt like this for along time?

No it's not normal. Low self esteem possibly. I'm currently reading a book called Thrive by Rob Kelly. It's really really great for helping you change how you feel about yourself.

Normal would be feeling all those things occasionally. All the time is not normal. Can you go and talk to your GP?
