I am feeling constantly anxious at the moment. I can't relax and feel tense, with a feeling of dread hanging over me all the time. Little things can set me off into floods of tears and I am lacking in energy.
I have 3 under 5s and find each day very long and lonely. I am losing my temper easily and am shouty and irritable.
dh thinks I am fine and it is just that I have had things on my mind. I am worrying about money constantly, as ds1 did not get into a good state primary and so we are sending him private. Things will be very tight next year, so it has been a worry.
I just don't know whether it is more than just natural worries though. I feel like a rubbish mum and I have to force myself to do things with the kids sometimes. I just feel like sitting indoors on the computer all day, which I know isn't healthy.
I got some bad feedback on ebay recently because a parcel got lost in the post. It has been resolved now, but it had me in floods of tears and feeling as if my entire character had been judged and found lacking. That is not a normal reaction, is it?
I have always been an anxious type anyway, so this could be a temporary blip. Just wondered what others thought?
