I'm feeling really low at the moment. Combination of family issues, very little help with the dc which means Dh and I are constantly tag teaming and are more like roommates than a couple, health concerns, low self esteem, a difficult ex, work pressures...you get the picture. Life just feels very difficult and bleak at the moment.
If it were just me I'd try and dig myself out of the hole by taking some time out to rest or go for a long walk or to the gym. I don't get the time. By the evening I'm exhausted. I try and get out with the kids which does help my mood but inevitably costs money, ends in tantrums and isn't relaxing. I try to give us all some downtime rest days at home and end up feeling stressed and restless by lunch time.
I feel totally trapped and unable to really help myself. Everyone always needs something and other than dh I have no support. I've put on weight and I look and feel dreadful. I drink too much to try and level myself out but I know that's a slippery slope too.
Does anyone have any simple, achievable tips that might help?
