I'm fully prepared to be told to get a grip of my silly, entitled self. Most days I'm content with my life and the way things are. But some days, like today, I just feel so unbelievably down. I did the school run in tears this morning (got a lot of funny looks but no-one asked whether I was ok) and all I've done since getting home is drink coffee and cry. I don't even know where to start in explaining everything that is wrong (or seems it today) so I guess I may just be after some very unmumsnetty sympathy Sad

Ooh, I've used St Johns Wort before and did find it helped but had forgotten about it. Thank you Cowardly, I'll pick some up on the nursery run later

PSA: don't use St Johns Wort if you rely on the pill for contraception. It's amazing how many people still don't know this.

Didn't want to read and run OP, but I don't have much advice for you, as I'm in the same place as you. Just wanted you to know that you're not alone.
I'm a SAHM, and it is beyond isolating and lonely. My DH always works a lot, and adult interaction is rare. The lack of friends definitely contributes to depression. I have one mummy friend who is usually quite busy, but manage to see her at least once every 2 weeks. It really does bring me down to earth once I've seen here. Maybe try some mummy meeting websites online.
I've been in my new area for over a year, and no one seems to be interested in being friends with me so my heavily pregnant self and DS are stuck home most days!

ps. Jealous about your Ben and Jerry's Shock

What are you selling, OP? Quite willing to buy one😂

Seriously, I know the struggle you're talking about. Not many friends either. It gets lonely sometimesz
