Im not sure where i should post this, so sorry if its in the wrong place.
But i feel like im sinking, everything just seems to be getting on top of me.
My brother is struggling so much with his girlfriend that he is going back to the doctors to go back on his antidepressants cos hes having thoughts of self harm again.
Our house will be ready in 2 wks to go on teh market and Kents mum is saying put it on, and his dad is saying hold off, ( and since we are buying their house, it means we are in limbo really as we dont know whats happening).
I would be due to give birth soon, like in the next couple of weeks, so i am just working through that.
My house looks like a bloomin bomb site, but no matter how much i tidy it, within 5 mins Rhi has messed it up again.
And i keep losing my rag and its not like anyone is doing anything wrong, im happy one minute and crying the next....and i know as soon as one of the above things sorts itself out i will be okay, but right now i feel like crap and i want the world to go away and come back tomorrow

These times suck, don't they? I've just come out of one of those funks, it's so hard when everything becomes difficult, nothing seems to work and everything is a struggle. Know that it's a phase so therefore will end and things will get better and more enjoyable again.
We are in a similar position with selling our house (people giving us conflicting advice) and the housing market is in such a state of change at the moment it's hard to know what the heck to do. So I feel your pain there. And I am currently sitting here in my PJs surrounded by half my pot drawer, bits of garlic bulbs that have been pulled apart and half of DD's toys, all strewn from one end of the house to the other. That was just an hours worth of play. Sigh. It's never ending.
Sorry I can't offer any advice. Just know that you're not alone in feeling these things and dealing with the stuff you are dealing with. When things seem out of control for me, I find it helpful to remind myself that the one thing I can control is my reaction to what is happening around me.
I hope things start to resolve themselves soon.

Good girl Kaz Head to the docs and see what they say, they may put you on some vitamins aswell, just to get you back into sorts etc. you've been through an emotional time lately so that would have wrecked havoc on your body aswell. Maybe where the ear infection has come from.

Sounds like your feeling a little....closed in where your living, being outside probably made you feel better cos your out in the open and theres nothing to remind you why you feeling sad, know what I mean? Once you move you will probably feel heaps better, fresh start kind of thing I get like that sometimes, and when I do I'll go out for a walk, come home and clean up or something or change something around and i feel a bit better.

I find it hard to make friends, and get depressed easily and sitting around at home drives me stir-crazy. Try to get out more Just to local parks/beaches. If you exercise a little esp in the mornings you should have more energy for the rest of the day... I find I feel tons better when I keep fit.

hope you feel better soon. I get a bit like that sometimes and find even a walk around the block helps.

Aww hugs Kaz.
I used to feel like that (with the cleaning) so I now don't do any tidying during the day and do it all when the kids are in bed. That way it seems to stay clean for longer and it gives me more time to play with them without feeling guilty for the mess.

Oh Kaz, I've only just stumbled across your post. I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling so down. Rhiannon's recent sleep issues prob haven't helped either.
Good on you for taking a sleep with her yesterday, bet that helped and getting outside in that glorious sunshine that would have boosted your vitamin D levels too.
Enjoy your playdate today. Am thinking of you out in the beautiful welly weather with your lovely little lady.
p.s. I'm only 20 min drive away and since my DH works from 3:30pm - late Michaela and I are always available if you and Rhi want company at odd hours

Kazzle, I think you are amazing! You have been through some rough times yet you are always one of the first to offer comfort to others going through worrying times.
Hope you feel better soon
