Feeling low

[mummytasha11]

Hi everyone

Just needed to vent

I don't want to get out of bed most mornings, I work pt and have a 2.5 year old ds but most days I wish I could run away and never come back
I don't really like my job and I hate not having my ex around to talk to after a crappy day.
I have friends and family but it just isn't the same.
I lose my temper daily with my ds and hate myself for it.
I just wish I had a different life one that I actually loved.
Recently I have felt like I don't even want to get dressed/put makeup on because I just think what's the point?

Can anyone relate to this?

I really don't want to feel like this but the thought of my life always being like this is unbearable

How about making sure a friend or family member is there some evenings when you come home from work?

So sorry you feel like this. I have moments as you describe but manage to talk myself round. The other poster makes a good suggestion....sometimes my mate comes over and helps me do bath n bed.....then stays for gossip and cuppa after. It breaks up tje week. Do u get a chance to go out with friends?
Have you thought about seeing your gp? Perhaps anti depressants would help you for a while? I've never taken them but if I had a few weeks of feeling like I do at my lowest I'd be there like a flash. Keep posting on here....it helps to know others are out there in the same position.
Hope ur ok x

Ask your GP about mother-toddler groups in your area. You'd be surprised just how many women feel the same as you do now, although at the time it feels like you are alone. You are not alone. Please see your GP, sometimes the baby blues go on for longer with some women than with others and the imbalance of your hormones can make everything else in your life seem utterly worthless too. I had lost my mum to cancer by the time I had my DD and was so overwhelmed I wanted to run away too. Take each new day as it comes and try little steps like taking your child to the park, washing your hair, anything that gets you off the sofa/out of bed and gets you active. It sounds clichéd but walking is superb at lifting the blues. I tried it as the anti depressants I was on made me feel worse. Put your headphones on, get the buggy out and just walk, you don't even need a destination just give yourself half an hour every day and see how you go. Good luck and post again so we know how you are doing.

I have a 7 and 3 year old and I think headphones are potentially a great idea. All day. ;-)
