I wish I could be happier

Can anyone else relate to this. I am grateful for what I have but I find myself daily moaning, being grumpy, short tempered with the kids and my other half. We have 3 kids with the youngest age 1. I've recently returned to full time work. But this has been me for a few years now. I don't get down so I don't think it's depression but I do get angry/frustrated easy. I'm not sure it's healthy for us all. Does it sound normal ? Can anyone relate ? I know I could start work on gratitude/ giving thanks etc. Maybe increasing exercise too?

Depression isn’t always the down side of things. Anger and frustration play a big part in depression! I have BPD and have been through every therapist workbook unfortunately aha I’d definitely contact a GP. It’s okay to not be okay!x

Do they tend to prescribe medication or recommend coping strategies/ therapy or both ?

Get a blood test done it might be as simple as low on iron xx

I have been low on iron before so good shout x

Could it be anxiety? I felt similar and it was because I felt anxious not being in control of what could go wrong

I do feel like there is such a load on my shoulders and feel pressured to get it all done. I just think everyone has a lot on and is juggling life , they cope so why am I struggling. I've always been someone who copes but maybe I've signed up to too much x

Hi. I'm the same to the dot. See someone about it for sure. In my case i need a hobby, something other than watching tv when everyones in bed. But I haven't got the time, money or a clue what to do

Thank God others feel the same. I went from 1 child, to 3 in less than 2 years, and I am so depressed. I feel like a slave. My other half has been pretty crap, and his parents made out they wanted to be involved, but we haven't seen them in months. I told them I have post partum depression, and they didn't say anything. xx
