Too depressed to interact with my son

[GlumMummy]

My son is next door grizzling in his cot. I've fed him, he's got a clean nappy and there are toys in his cot. I pop in whenever he seems to get distressed. But I'm just far too down to interact with him today.

What do I do?

He's 5mo. He's also perfectly warmly dressed in nice clean daytime clothes. I've done all I can for his external needs. I just don't have anything more to give.

Bless you
Go and get yourself a cuppa and sit down for a few minutes and then remind yourself how amazing your baby is, go and get him, have a cuddle and put a film on. Maybe read him a book? He can't stay in his cot all day.

Do you have PND?
If you feel this down it may be worth seeing a GP. Even if you're already on medication, you may need a review and a possible change of tablets if they're not helping.
Hope you're okay.

And after an argument with my DP where he stormed out telling me to fuck off...I smashed all the crockery in the kitchen.

I really cannot cope anymore.

Is the smashed stuff still there?

No, I'm fed up not stupid. Put Wellington boots on and cleaned it up immediately. DS was upstairs in his play pen and I shut the cats out while I cleared it up

I feel like that today....have two boys, 4 and 1 and I can't deal with the hysteria or the happiness or the energy today.

I haven't had a full night sleep in four years and feel like killing myself. But I can't as I love my family so I'm stuck. I wish I hadn't had kids at all. This is sleep deprivation for me. Do you get bough sleep?
