I am so bored of this life, I could just fucking scream

[mycatisannoying]

An evening of chores awaits and I can't be arsed with a single one of them. Back to work tomorrow.
I wish I could just leave the kids, the pets, the chores, the ex husband ... and just piss off abroad on my own.
Maybe I'm a little depressed.
Does anyone else have the Sunday night blues?
I should add that I won't do the above, but it's a sense of love and duty that keeps me in my life, rather than any great desire to be.

Mate has right idea. She always goes out with kids sunday afternoon, eats dinner out then movie and bed.

Sounds like you need to find some things to do that bring you joy, little escape routes just for you. Doing the same stuff (usually for other people) over and over can feel like a life sentence.

It's the constant monotony of it all isn't it? Doing a job that you know will just need doing again tomorrow, it's mind numbing sometimes. I don't think it helps that everything we read at the moment seems seems so bleak, and I think that's adding to the feeling of just wanting to get away from it all.

I've had an awful year and an even worse week, getting out of the house for a walk has helped but those Sunday blues are crap.

If I was you I'd do the bare minimum and then try to carve out some time for yourself to do something you enjoy, even if it's just a good book and a nice cuppa 💐

Merlott I love your advice- so funny but also true- please write a book /blog.

I dream of doing a Shirley Valentine every day.

@Merlott you're a genius!!!

I don't think being alone is the answer to happiness. I'm 38, I live alone - no husband or kids.

Im not happy either. I don't like my life. I'm depressed and bored all the time. My Life is shit. Being totally alone is not easy.

I hate Sunday evenings. Get organised so all your chores are finished on Saturday or Sunday morning.
We spend Sunday evenings watching a film with dessert. Much more relaxing.

I think it's normal to look back and think 'what if I'd chosen a different sort of life?' from time to time. Sometimes I just feel an overwhelming urge to be alone and when I can't I fantasise about being single and childfree, I can picture every detail of my lovely, chic apartment that is full of breakable, non-child friendly things and no plastic tat or lego for me to accidentally step on. But rationally I know that the only reason it seems perfect is because it's just a fantasy. If I had chosen that sort of life I'd probably be fantasising about being married with kids.

Totally relate at times OP. Single mum here and not had a break from the kids all summer. Constant. Unrelenting. Close to a breakdown! School cannot come soon enough. I adore them but Christ, I need a break from them.

Hope you feel better soon OP💐. I vote for fighting in the Romanian mountains alongside @LaughingCat.

I used to sometimes feel like that when my LO was a toddler and she went to bed. In summer I would hear people having bbqs and laughing. I’m still single and if my dad goes to her dads for the wkd I get out walking or arrange dinner with friends.

Honestly there are worse things than being alone, living with my ex was bloody awful and don’t believe all the lovey dovey shit you see on social media either. Most of it is lies.
