Does this sound like depression or stress ?

[Elliesmommy]

In a nutshell. 3 babies in 3 years. Youngest 6mths. I'm alone mon to fri 7 -6 husband in for dinner then has farm duties. Saturday he farms all day . We have sundays together. Feeling over whelmed. Not sad. 3rd baby was in and out of doctors hospitals and osteopaths. Screamed for the first 6 months of his life. I feel worn down. I dont recognise myself in the mirror. Am over weight as cant get out to exercise. My children and my husband are my absolute world. I love them so much but it's hard work. Physically mentally emotionally. I wonder if its depression. Is it stress. Is it normal. I know it will pass. I know I will look back wishing I was right where I am now. Its just hard

Just plain old exhausted?

You have so much on your plate.

Thanks for replying @bingbangbing. Quite possibly yes. I'm awake most nights. 6mth old has at least one bottle. 2 year old is teething. Yes I guess I do. Sat here in tears now. When I stop to write it all down.

I have two children rather than three but youngest is 9 months and is a bad sleeper. I'm tired but not depressed (but considered it) or stressed. I find it difficult when I get no break and compare it to having a 24 hour job - no break all day then on call during the night for wake ups. Is there any way you can get some help so you can have a mental break? Just to eat by yourself for half an hour or read a book. I've found the small escapes really help until I can get back to work. It's relentless 💐

From 7 - 7 I get zero breaks really. From 7 to bedtime I do get to sit down and have a rest. Sometimes I dont if they dont fall asleep. Relentless is the word.
