I am struggling to cope with dd2

She is a 19 month old whirlwind.
I am beginning to think i can't cope with her.
She climbs constantly,deliberately does stuff to annoy,in/out of fridge,cupboards etc,tv on/off,fans on/off she literally does not stop.
I used to get brief respite when she went for a morning nap but since dd1 has been off school for the holidays ,she will not go to sleep.
All i do all day is shout and say no and chase her around the house,picking up her trail of destruction.
She is 10 times the work that dd1 was ,i am so tired all the time.
I am struggling to deal with depression/ anxiety
How can i enjoy her?

That's good.

There was the red pepper incident today though.
She went in the fridge and stole a red pepper and proceeded to scoff it (which is fab)but she had a brand new tracksuit on and it got smothered in red juice.
Yesterday she got hold of a damp/moisture trap and spilled the hundreds of tiny beads everywhere!
Oh well Kay sara!

I hate it when dd1 gets her clothes dirty too, especially if it's new or white.

I can fully sympathise as I also have a 19 month old daughter who just wrecks everything!! I am going to try the fish oil supplements I think!!

you don't have a lock opn your fridge? the fridge is always locked - only unlocked when I'm in the room. I'm tryiong to teach him not to take things out of the fridge, but for the time being, if I'm not there,its locked.
