Struggling

I'm really struggling with everything at the moment. Work isn't going great... Been given targets to improve.

I don't feel like I'm doing a very good job at being a mum (although no evidence for this really!)

I think I'm just a bit lonely. I feel like I need advice and support all of the time

Hi,
Am feeling much the same,infact have just come home from work sick as it has all got too much.

I have a constant need for support and advice,my mum is away at the moment so not sure where to turn too,It all feels so hard doesn't it?

I think Im lonely too even though I am bloody surrounded by people!Lets hope we both feel better soon xx

Hi just wanted to say that remember to your child you are the best mum in the world. If all else feels crap please remember that.
Are you on your own or do you have a partner or family who can support you ?

Husband is away at the moment, back tonight though so not too bad.

I'm rubbish at making decisions. I ring my mum a lot too.

Yeah feelingdizzy it is hard work

I don't think I'm depressed but things are just a struggle at the moment.

My day involves

Am- looking after DD 15 months
Pm - taking her to childminder so I can do whatever I want between 1-5pm

Evening- father in law coming over for tea.

Hardly like hard work! Especially having afternoon off from DD. but I struggle to know what to do!

Sounds like your bored and need to rethink the day.
Do you go out with other mums,swimming,toddler groups,I always thought before I had children that these places sounded awful but ended up having lots of laughs and made new friends.
I hated staying in the house with toddlers for any length of time,couldnt think what to do with them !

Would normally go to the park on a Thursday but its not too nice outside ATM.
