Anyone have days where they just feel super down?

I’m lucky to only have one day a week with both newborn and toddler on my own, but I find getting out really really helps. Going to a play group or to the park makes it all so much easier. Full time is so intense well done.
Also have a nearly 3 year old & 11 week old and feel similar this week as have all been ill. The way I described it to my husband is ‘suffocating’ I have to get out normally otherwise I feel like this constantly. We try and get out first thing for a few hours and then it makes the afternoon more bearable. It sounds like you need a break - do you have family around to take the kids for a few hours in the evening so you can see a friend? If you’re really struggling and can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, try and speak to your doctor. Dont suffer in silence xxxx
I felt like that not too long ago; honestly, I think I cried more than once every day. It's safe to say I'm feeling more like myself now, and those down feelings don't last forever. I was unfortunately diagnosed with postnatal depression. If you continue feeling low, my advice would be: don't suffer in silence. Talk about it, go to your GP, and ask for help. It worked for me, and honestly, when I was at my lowest, I thought I'd never feel like myself again. I know it might be hard to believe at the moment, but you will come out of the lows. If you ever want to chat, feel free to message me. x
I felt like that with my first. Now I've made a point of getting a shower in at some point in the morning (read before 3pm) and getting changed. It makes such a difference.. Just being out of pyjamas, even if I don't leave the house.
