have had depression for nearly 3 years. am up and down all the time but am having such a bad day today and it is sunny outside so I should be outside with the kids. I don't want to be here anymore, don't want to be a mum, all I am doing is crying and screaming at my boys. oh boy I hate this

OK, how old are they? Can you put the telly/games on and leave them in a room together. Give them some crisps/sweets or something and get yourself inot aonther room and breathe.

If it helps at all, I feel like you today and I'm not suffering from depression (had PND in the past so I can understand a little of where you are coming from.
My gap is similar to yours, 6, 3 and 17months and I am bored, bored, bored.

No useful suggestions but just want you to know that what you are feeling is totally normal x

Its not wrong, its just how you feel right now. I only have one here and feel like that sometimes.

Teddybears picnic in the back garden? Get your 4 and 6 year olds to collect all the teddies and set it up. Then a film?
