Advice on not coping with family life

[Daberhashery]

I need some advice as I feel like I cannot cope with being a wife & mother any longer. I literally want to run away, leave my kids, husband and my job every day. How can I stop this feeling? I’ve been having counselling for 6 months but I don’t feel any different or any better. Nothing’s changing for me. I’m just getting more and more likely to get on a train and never look back. ☹️ What can I do?

I hope you are OK, OP.

It's a shame you haven't come back as this thread attracted replies from many of us in similar situations. Perhaps it has helped some people to feel less alone with these feelings though.

Op,, you sound unwell and id agree you need to speak to your gp.

Can you think back? What made you want to have three children? Each one was a decision in their own their right.

Can you think back to that? Why you chose to do that? Have the first, then have a second, then have a third?

*Leave the husband, he sounds like a tit. You will also have some alone time if custody is shared. Win/win

*Get some antidepressants, granted they won't change the reality but it will change your perception of the situation, they will help you to be less mentally affected.

*How is the discipline in the house, because it sounds like there isn't much?

Like it or not this is your life now, you can either find ways to ease the stress and enjoy it, or remain unhappy telling yourself how much you hate it.

I've been where you are. Similar age kids (at the time) too. I discovered that actually it was my asshole husband that was the issue, not the kids or my 'depression '. Kicked him out and the black cloud lifted almost instantly.

You do sound very poorly tho, in a way I'm not sure I did. Please do whatever it takes to get some urgent medical intervention before these intrusive thoughts take hold.

I’m not at the end of the thread yet but am compelled to post. A stuck record I’m afrakd, antiDs will help! I am clearer in my thoughts to make decisions, I am now rational. I can’t see how you have anything to lose in trying. Your post about ur GP and the bloody heart burn made me so cross!!!! I hope you are ok
