Hi everyone

Iv got 2 children I was fine with my first never felt anything like I am now I have a 1 year old and I just can’t seem to shake this feeling I come home to her moaning and whingeing constantly she doesn’t sleep through the night and I feel drained mentally drained I’m tired all the time I feel like I can’t bound with her at the minute and I hate myself for feeling this way Iv been feeling like this for a few weeks now and I don’t want to say anything to anyone because it’s not an easy thing to bring up I don’t know if I’m depressed or I’m just tired

Welcome! I'm sorry life is tough for you atm. Having two children is hard work, hard work. Whether it's depression or tiredness it's positive you've identified that youre struggling. Would you consider going to talk to your dr or health visitor. They can keep an eye on you and provide practical tips and support like talking therapies . It's worth tackling the sleep issues. If you're daughters not sleeping well she'll be tired and irritable and so will you too.

Also do you get any time for yourself? I imagine being a mum of two leaves you with very little time for yourself. It's worth finding a little time just for you - think of it as an investment into your well being.

Please don't think you're alone in how you feel because you're not . Keep talking x
