Feeling so down - the only answer is activity isn't it?

[Dumbledoresgirl]

I keep feeling down. Right now, I am sat as if nailed to the chair, totally lacking any energy to get up and do all that has to be done. I can't change what is making me sad, so the only thing to do is to immerse myself in activity, right?

it is good to talk when youre feeling down its hard to burden your friends with it . most of my friends have their problems too with their partners or dc s .
did some house work today ,allday have been really slacking on this front ,def feel happier with myself that i put some effort in .
it gets lonely bakers doesnt it on your own, today is the first day where iv e spent the day on my own for a while tho guess im lucky to have people to visit ... bbs

Dumbledoresgirl, i have been feeling exactly as you have described.

I know i will feel better soon, but i wish it would hurry up! I seem to be losing confidence in myself at an alarming rate, which thinking about it, seems to have started about the time i became pg. My daughter is now 20months old and i really do enjoy being a mum, but like you said in an earlier post, i think i would be suited to a 1950's lifestyle. I find that people expect so much from mothers now that i feel almost ashamed to admit that i am a sahm and i have no plans to go back to work.

This feeling kicked off again at the beginning of last week, due (i think) to a pg scare that turned out to be a false alarm. I was absolutely gutted. Since then i have been lethargic, snappy and numb feeling. Today, however, i feel like hiding under the quilt and crying.

I find it very hard to admit to anyone other than DH that i get like this. I am the person everyone else comes to when they have got problems. I would hate to burden any of my friends with my problems.
