Feel so sad:((

[RMPM]

Am struggling with life...at times feel very sad and lonely. Endless problems to deal with.. It's never ending:((

aww (((hugs)))

You're up very late! are you in the uk?

sorry you are struggling...we are here to listen if you would like to share some of the problems if it would help in any way

Thank you S and M. Yes am in the uk but often dont sleep well at nights. Just feel so low at times.. For work have to put a professional face on but at home am struggling. House is a tip, between work and looking after child just can't seem to get life in order. Really want to organise play dates but can't until house sorted. Financial worries too. It all just seems none stop. Soon as you've tried to sort out one thing and feel head above water then bang there is something else that's sends you underwater again...

its so hard trying to keep on top of things when you are on your own - i find it hard to find time to do the housework and im not even working f/t. can you break things down into small manageable goals? and do you have any help - make the most of any offers of help you can get. playdates sound a great idea...perhaps you could meet others out somewhere instead until you feel comfortable having them in your house, i find it really helps me feel better when i get out and about and meet people. i totally understand about sometimes one thing happening after the other - sometimes things just get too much. is there anything that might help you feel a bit better, like maybe having a morning off to yourself to relax or anything? x

Sometimes when I have people over I tidy one room and shove a load of stuff out of sight in others, hoping errant child won't barge in there. Socialising and getting some support is more important than whether some judges your house.

Thanks M and K for your supportive messages which help. I have tried meeting outside the home but school trend is to have play dates at childrens homes. We have been invited to a few but now parents expect same invite in return. House has got so out of hand it's so stressfull and sounds silly but I just don't know where to begin. You can spend all day tidying but it only appears to make a slight dent. May have to put pride/embarrassment aside and ask friends to kindly help to get house on track. House is the main root of my despair and if it could be tackled I would feel so much better. Thanks for understanding xx
