Constantly overwhelmed with life.

[whatevenissleepanymore]

The title of this thread says it all really.

Since having my little girl 12 months ago I have ever since found myself feeling constantly totally overwhelmed by every little aspect of life. Even small things such as the ordinary every day household chores, basic self care/hygiene etc. Things which most people wouldn't think twice about, I find so overwhelming.

I feel as though I'm in a constant state of anxiousness and unhappiness no matter what the situation/task is it makes me feel so stressed and snappy that it's gotten to a point I no longer want to continue living like this any longer. I can't face the rest of my life feeling like this over such meanial things.

It's affected my relationship with both my partner and my daughter and makes me feel so crappy. I never felt like this before I had my DD.

Not sure what I'm asking just hoping someone else can relate to make me feel like I'm not the only person on the planet who's experiencing this.

I've been where you are OP. It does get better but it can be a long road. X

It sounds like depression to me, maybe made worse by tiredness.

Would you consider talking to your GP about it? It sounds similar to how I felt when I was diagnosed with pnd.

I have been where you are. After about a year of feeling that way and not telling anyone, I broke down to my partner and eventually attended my GP. I started to go out for walks to places I found really calming and meditated which really helped too. I eventually had Cognitive Behavioural Therapy after being on a waiting list for some time. It was a real turning point for me and I still use a lot of the strategies. Seek help, if you can. You are not alone!

Its the tiredness, possibly depression creeping in too. What support have you got OP? Young children are hard,it will get better

You poor thing. You do sound like I felt when I had PND, so it would be worth chatting to GP or HV. If you feel like you want to harm yourself then you must seek help immediately as there is a lot they can do to get you back on track!

The biggest thing that helped me was support from my DH and mum. I think you need to talk with your partner and explain how you are feeling. If you do end up with a PND diagnosis, maybe show him some materials about how partners can help. Really hope you feel better soon
