I’m a single mum of 4 girls older 3 to my ex husband who has had nothing to do with them for over 2 years so I have them full time. Youngest to my previous partner who is great and helps with her loads.

i was coping everything was great but recently i am really struggling.. i get no break two of them are additional needs children. I underwent surgery last week to remove my uterus and have a new coil put in and they are unsure if I am perimenopause (runs through family early I am 38) but I am so emotional and full of anger and everything and everyone is getting to me my children don’t help much around the house and I have ocd it normally never used to bother me but now the slightest mess and I’m flying off the handle.. inside I just don’t want to do this anymore I hate this life.. there is no escape even at bedtime because they are up most night till 3am.
im exhausted done in fed up and don’t really know what do to

Sounds perimenopause to me. See a meno specialist if you can - the right hormones work wonders

Sorry, you had your uterus removed and they placed a contraceptive coil in you at the same time? Or did I read that wrong?
