On my own with non talking toddler all day. Not a soul to talk too with only washing to catch up with.
Mum says you just have to get on with it like we all do. There is only so many times I can go to the park with him or go around the shops. The summer holidays have been hell and I have been very short tempered with folk at times and everything seems petty and stupid too.
And then I feel bad and then I hate who I am.
Got PMT too which is getting worse and worse every month and I get into mini tantrums and I cry and am so alone and I wish for something else. My OH is self employed and he is never home at the moment.
He got in at 9 last night and was up at 5 this am. Yes it is Saturday, that makes no difference.
He has been like this the last month and he is so stressed and this contract is a biggy - very important that it is succesful.
Also we are living at mum in laws at the moment as our house is upside down and meant to be having a new kitchen fitted, but he want to be doing it. he don't trust anyone else to do it. He used to fit kitchen before having his own manufacturing business.
Stll waiting for B and Q to deliver our oven - that's a whole different thread though. Buggers.
So we can't get on with kitchen anyhow leave alone having the time to do it.

I don't know why I'm rambling on and talking about myself again. I doub't if anyone is reading this. They are spending time with their families and enjoying the weather. Sorry but it;s the way that I feel.
And if I'm attention seeking well actually I don't care if I am. I'm unhappy and not liking my attitude either and this selfishness but I would love to snap out of it.

I felt like this when dd was about 18 months and was diagnosed with mild pnd, apparently it can happen way after the birth. Ive always suffered with pmt and I felt really low, wasnt getting any joy from dd, so I knew there was a problem. Anyway the dr prescribed magnesium and vit b6 and i can only say it was miraculous, I felt like a new person, it might be worth looking into.

why are you feeling not worthy, not worthy of what?

MistressMary · 09/09/2005 23:03

Being a mum or being happy.

But period has arrived and feel a little clearer in thought at the moment. Just so up and down in moods.
Have bought some Magnesium ok today and have started them.
