What's wrong with me?

I'm having a really bad day today. When I feel like this all I want to do it be left alone. I want to be away from everyone. In reality I have a baby that wants to climb all over me and an older child (waiting for adhd assessment) who is a bombardment on the senses.
Dp has been brilliant today. He's done everything practical the needed doing but I've had to look after the baby and I just want to run away. I don't want to be climbed all over. I don't want to deal with my teenager and her over top behaviour (I realise she can't help it, it's just incredibly draining)
Tomorrow I will likely wake up and be fine. I just have these days where my.mood dips so low for no apparent reason. I don't want food (so my blood sugar is probably really low) I just want to run away.
I think I may be a little burnt out. How do I overcome this? I hate it and lately its at least once a week.

I hope you feel better tomorrow.

I agree. First you need to make sure you are taking care of yourself. Eating, drinking water, getting enough sleep, fresh ar, exercise etc. As neglecting these will make you feel worse.

Also are you getting "me time" when you get a proper break from the children to do something just for you?

I am sorry to hear about this. Did you have this before having children? Perhaps there is something that changed after your children in terms of hormones? I am thinking in terms of post-natal depression?

I hate these days. Make yourself some tea and toast and snuggle up with a blanket to watch some comforting TV (Friends is my go-to). This is what I do, anyway. Just give myself the day off. Hope you're feeling brighter tomorrow.
