Anyone else just fed up with life. I have 2 kids and I just feel like a failure. I just hate life right now.. I'm drained. I have a husband who hates me. Kids who see me as a failure. I'm fed up

You’re doing all right, you know. We were promised a dream. We live in a shit fest. Lose the husband. It works out okay, even if you thought it impossible. Big love. ❤️

@Fedupwithlife2026

Please see your GP and get some help. There are medications that can help. And talking therapies too.

Being a parent can be very hard. You need support. Do you have friends or family you can talk to?

You say your husband hates you, why do you think that?

Please keep talking here but also reach out for some real life help.

You are absolutely not a failure. Of course you’re not. You are just experiencing a load of shite in this moment of your glorious sometimes crappy life. Bless you for that.

All of your replies have been amazing. I have no one as I grew up in a religious secular background and the women from my culture don't talk about their pain. They live to move on and live with it. But I'm just tired. I am on sertraline but it isn't helping. Any adjice on that and thank you for your responses.xxxx

Break free from it ❤️

If sertraline is not helping go back to the GP.

I really do wish you all the best for getting help for the future.

You are not a failure. Parenting is hard.
