I don't know if I'm getting depressed, but I'm not doing too well right now.

I know it is probably all related to my circumstances atm, but I'm not feeling great today at all.
My stomach is churning round & round all the time & I feel like I am going to explode if the boys squabble just one more time, which I don't want to do.
I have felt on edge all day today, even at work, and I'm worrying myself.

It's all bound to get on top of you some days more than others.
Could you take the boys out for a long walk before bed to burn off a bit of energy?

No, they have their dad coming round to see them in around half an hour. He is on late shift, so he comes round after work to see them before bed.

Just feel a little like I can't cope today.

pc. can you perhaps go in another room for a couple of mins and take a few deep breaths? If it isn't raining, lob them in the garden

I've come upstairs because I can feel that I could explode any second & I'm trying to stop that happening.

i feel like this some days. i can feel it building up. that is when dh takes over. can you not have some time to yourself when their dad arrives? pop to the shop for some milk or similar, just to get out for a bit

I might just have a bath when he comes & turn the radio up loud!

I have felt like this all day, but not sure exactually why. I wish I could stop my stomach from churning around.

it is a horrible feelimng. Have a nice bath, stick the radio on, breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth, and try to relax if poss. I lost the plot and screamed at my kids a little while ago and they both sobbed. I keep that image in my head when i feel the rage coming and try to calm down. it is usually pmt for me, I don't know the full ins and outs of your situaion, but you obviously have a lot on your plate. {{hugs}} if you do them, friendly slap on the back if you don't

Thanks allieBongo

my pleasure. hope you feel a little better

Had a bath, put boys to bed & have seen a friend, so feeling much better for now! I know that may change first thing tomorrow though, which is why I am a little worried about how well I'm really coping.

how are you today pc?

Been to work & not been feeling quite so churny, although I was noticed to be quite trance like at lunchtime, so one of the teachers asked if I was ok & I had a bit of a talk to her.
Think everything is just getting right on top of me atm.

Thanks for asking after me, allieBongo.

my pleasure. i don't know much about anything, but i can listen and talk drivel in adundance x

Thanks, AB.

I am feeling slightly better today than I was yesterday, which is positive I guess.

Have had lots going on recently (marriage break up, house move, problems with my family, DS1 testing me all the time with his behaviour, awaiting Ds1's assessments for possible SEN, and now trying to get my head around my ex H moving on with another woman only 6 weeks after moving alone), so I think it is a case of everything just really overloading me.

Have been on ADs in the past (for PND) and I get myself worried when I feel my stress levels creeping up beyond the norm, as I worry I may end up with depression again.
