I just can’t cope. I feel so stressed and have no one to turn to. I feel my mind is a mess and my relationships all suck. I have an unloving mother and equally cold husband. My house is a mess. My job is stressing me. My kids just spent the entire day watching tv then on their devices as I cannot move from the sofa as I feel depressed. I’m feeding them and talking to them but all day have just zoned out. I feel so fed up with everything,

Sorry to hear you're feeling down. If you feel that way tomorrow just watch TV cuddled up with your children. Forget about work and the house for the day and just focus on spending the time with them

There's a lot going on in your message op i didn't want to read and run (or read and sleep to be more accurate)

The 'd'H...well, there's a solution to that, might be worth getting counselling or speaking to a solicitor, don't spend your life as an unpaid live in nanny, housemaid, chef with someone if they don't treat you well, or see if there's chance of saving the relationship maybe.

The kids zoning out, I think depending on their ages maybe try a screen time boundary but depends if ND
..maybe let that slide for the time being? And like pp said just get comfy next to them.

Definitely go to your GP and see if they can refer you to some support if you don't already have it.

Try and do something just for your self tomorrow even just buy yourself some flowers or get your nails done, it's no magic wand but little things can life the spirit sometimes.

There's lots of good advice on the relationship board in particular x

Agree with pp. Tomorrow just spend time with the children and on Monday, first thing, contact your GP for an appointment. You sound depressed and frozen. Then you make a list for the house to prioritise the main chores such as food and laundry. Depending on the kids ages get them to tidy up the main room while DH sorts the bathroom and kick off if he doesn't.

If you put one foot in front of the other (tasks broken down) you will eventually come out the other side Flowers
