If I didn't have children I would not need to do what I am doing, I would be able to divorce my poor husband so that he could live happily and just sleep. I don't want to do what I have to do, work, study, I just want to be a housewife get the children to school and exist in the house until it's time to collect the children. I have had some counselling but I want to end it (the counselling) now. I just want to sleep. Anyone else feel the same. I'm just really low and just want everything to go away. I try to be positive but then something always slaps me back down so why continue trying to be positive. Thank you for reading.

(I felt like this and I turned out to have it)

I feel the same as fattime and I don't have it but it is a good thought, I have had GF when I was a teenager and it really does wipe you out COMPLETELY, might be worth checking

There is a constant sleep syndrome I think so see your GP.

Thank you all. I did eventually drag myself to the doctors and he was the one who suggested counselling instead of heading straight to pills. The counselling only helps for a short time. In fact the counsellor has started mixing up details so that isn't helping! In fact it's quite disheartening, makes me feel like a bore. Another reason for ending the counselling and because the majority of the week it does not make any difference.
