exhausted emotionally, phyiscally and mentally - what do u do??

[autumnlover]

you know its really bad when u're holding yr 3 mth old in yr arms, rocking him to sleep, and crying yr eyes out, whilst dh is going his own thing.

what do i do to make tomorrow more positive?? at this moment in time, i just cant do it anymore, i really cant. i dont know where i'm going to get the energy for tomorrow or even to get to next feed....

anyone got any good words of advice.

it will get better, you are exhausted and need some rest and sleep yourself. Take some little naps as much as you can, leave the housework, forget about the things that don't matter and look after you and that little wonderful baby, who needs you.

autumnlover - I know it's hard, it's been said a bllion times before but i'll say it again: Things will get better, they will. DD2 is nearly 9 mo now, still wakes me at night but we're getting there. I'm still exhausted but i can see light at the end of the tunnel, you will too, soon, i promise. The DHs never understand what it's like, no matter how hands-on they are. Talk to your friends with DCs - that helps too.{{small tired hug}}

should have added, that i also have 2 dds. dd1 at school whilst dd2 is a very active and energetic toddler. god its so hard, if we're at home she just tears the house apart, so we're always out and about. she really has no fear. its its so hard. i dont know what else to type apart from its so hard.

hello autumnlover, I only have one ds and am always knackered so you are doing brilliantly to cope with 3. Just wanted to let you know someone out here is sending you a virtual cuddle. can you get some support, from dh, family, friends?? even just to take dd2 out for a bit and give you and baba time together (hopefully sleeping a deux). Did you feel like this with the other two? if never as bad, go see your doctor in case its PND starting - get help! do you remember it gets easier as they get older? it does, really it does!! and remember that wee baba thinks you are the whole world, and you are.

yes, watch out for PND - i was fine for about a month after DD2 then crap for 4 or 5, now got my joy back tho it's still very hard...sleep deprivation really messes with your head, at a chemical level i think. I dont know how anyone survives motherhood frankly....
