Does this sound like depression?

[CatsSleepAnywhere]

I am struggling. I can't even be bothered to wash up and my kitchen looks like a tip. I can't sleep all night but mainly because DD wakes me up at least twice a night. I don't want to go out. I have no RL friends. I am finding it hard to see my mum cause she is in a relationship with a man who I don't like for various reasons. (he is controlling and EA). I feel so alone and !

I don't feel like there is much point in anything right now!

Sorry you are feeling like this. It does not help when you are being woken up at night. Lack of sleep can cause depression. How old is your dd? With my depression, I think that lack of sleep was the main cause. Is there anyone who can help you at all and give you a break. Even a couple of hours on your own, to go out somewhere you used to like going.

Try to see your mum on her own now and then. Write a list of things you want to get done in a week eg clean kitchen floor, sort dirty clothes, go to library, go to a local market. You will feel really good when you tick something off.

Thanks for replying.
I have come round a bit since this morning although still feel down. DD is 3 so still young.

Does your dd go to nursery. If she goes to nursery or playgroup it will be good as it will force you to go out to take and collect her. It might help tire your dd out so she sleeps better at night too!
