I wouldn’t but I feel like I’m drowning.
Every day is a slog, I’m so tired.
I’ve got 2 young dc. Dh has had mental health issues all year which had affected family time we rarely do family days out etc.
I’m studying and working.
I’m nagged at and sneered at at work and at home.on top of all this ds had an accident few weeks ago and I blame myself.
I just want some happiness.
To the outside world we would seem like a happy family but I feel so inadequate and yet responsible to make sure everyone else is ok and the house is organised et. Etc

You sound like you are doing an amazing job of juggling everything but it sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Do u have anyone that could babysit one night a week to give you a few hours off. You could go to pics or for coffee or for a long walk. Also it might be a good idea to chat to your gp and tell her how u are feeling. Sometimes even talking to someone helps. Good luck x

Could you be suffering from depression yourself? You sound like I was when I developed PND. I used to fantasise about running away and starting a new life somewhere. You've obviously got a lot on, and perhaps your own needs and your own health have been pushed right to the back of the queue priority wise?

Is there anyone that you can ask for help, to give you an afternoon off, or a bit of a break? Consider going to see your doctor as well. If you are depressed,you may need some medication to help you get back on track again.

What's going on at work? Why are people being horrible to you?

What's it like for you, living with someone who's depressed? Is he getting treatment? I have experience of living with a depressed man and I found it really tough.
