I feel so depressed its unreal

[BoredAndDepressed]

I am a SAHM and have been for 5 years. My kids are 5 & 2. The 2 year old goes to playgroup 2 mornings a week which is great so I can crack on with the housework etc, but as soon as he comes home from nursery he needs to be constantly entertained. I am running out of ideas (and energy) on how to keep him entertained. I take him to the park if its dry or to an indoor playcentre when wet but its so hard to know what to do with him. I feel like I need a break from doing the same borning stuff day in day out.

Any ideas on what I can do with a 2 year old? I know this sounds nasty but I am finding it so bloody boring and tedious doing the same thing every day. I don't mix well with people I am very shy and suffer anxiety and panic attacks and I am thinking depression also.

I have been looking at doing a course at College so I can do something for myself but I can't imagine myself with a large group of people in a class (that would be like my worst nightmare).

I feel like I am going to crack up if I don't do something different - its the same boring stuff day after day.

help

suggest you try and link up with other mums for playdates, lunch, joint trips out.

i think you need to try and beat your fear of people before you attempt college.

I have suffered with depression for the last two years since my son was born. I finally went to the doctor and have been on antidepressants which have really helped me cope. Try and get out every day if you can . It can be boring doing the same thing day in and day out but if you can try and do some of the kid stuff with a friend it does help.

bless you
2 year olds can be boring. can you try to please yourself - shopping - coffee with a mate- broswe an art gallery and risk boring said 2 year old
