Do you get moods like this?

[Pussycatlover]

Why is it when we are tired we feel theworld is against us? I cant seem to do anything right, say anything right or make any good decisions.it makes me wonder how i can possibly bring up two wonderful children and advise them correctly.

Why cant i formulate a good arguement or response to things? Why do i feell the whole world thinks i'm stupid, or nasty or selfish? Why am i always racked with guilt about not doing good enough at work, being able to cook better, be an easier wife. Why do i stress over everything. Why when i am feeling down is there no one to talk to but lots when i am upbeat

Please let this be pmt. Do you get moods like this?

I do, and can't blame PMT. Once we've hit that downward spiral of "I'm shit, life is shit, I'm shit at everything" [over-use of the word shit, obv] then it's impossible to see any way up again. How old are your dc?

For me this is usually a sign that i need sleep. lots of sleep.

me too, CHB. And unfortunately I rarely get relaxed enough to do it when it's so desperately needed iyswim.

OP : Get some tlc if you can, take all offers of help and try to get a good rest :)

Yes and I think most people do. We all want to be better in ourselves. We dont want to make mistakes and live with guilt and regret. We love our children and we want to be perfect for them and when we can't it makes us feel bad. All we can do is try harder the next day, keep slowing moving forward.

Re- tiredness -

I read recently that the adult human brain needs and average of 8 hours of quality sleep per day to allow the parts of the brain that process emotion, to 'restart' (there was a much better word than that in the article'. Things always seem worse at this time of night.

On that note - im off to bed!
