You could have written that for me. You are doing an amazing job for both of your boys and do you know what? You do deserve some time off. Don't ever forget that even if you don't feel like you're doing much you are still the primary carer and most responsible for your boys - that in itself is bloody hard work. You NEED time to yourself. Being a mummy is hard work. Be kind to yourself.

You know, I can relate to this, you know because you've supported me through some really dark days. I know you feel worthless and helpless right now and it doesn't matter what anyone says, we can't change that for you. But we can listen. We can support and love you. I think you should keep writing it down. Let them see inside your soul, it might help them to understand.

It comes and goes in phases. I find that when I am in a phase where I can be bothered, its best to get as much done as possible. I always feel as though I should be doing everything all the time. My partner Nathan put it bluntly to me one day, 'If you don't feel like doing anything, don't do it. Unless it is an emergency.' Most things can wait a few days. I remember you went through a stage awhile back where you cleaned the house in sections then posted the photos. (That was you, wasn't it?) I go through stages, sometimes weeks where I keep on top of things, the house, the bills, my social and work life, then suddenly it is all on top of me again. No matter what you feel like, no one expects you to be perfect all the time. You may feel like people are thinking things about you that they aren't. My best way to lose weight and feel healthy is to start habits that become routine, there was one time where I went to the gym 3 days a week and swimming one and I also walked my dog. I really don't know how I did it. These days there is no time for exercise. I'm sure if you work out a few fool proof ways to get into good habits you will feel a lot better about yourself. (I don't mean your body, I mean your mind as well.) You need to do things you love and work out how to incorporate your family into these things. My favourite thing is to swim. When I have children (apart from my part-time son lol) I will take them swimming too or get a pool at home. The only person who should worry about you is you, don't worry what others think, if you know you are a beautiful person on the inside it usually shows on the outside. oh Marilyn, I feel like that sometimes, exactly the same.

I have a lot of the same depression pressure points that you are talking about here and it is tough. I can't let myself get behind on laundry or dishes, even by one day or I fall pretty really depressed and that's hard to lift for me, harder than lifting a laundry basket or putting soap in the dishwasher! Oh hey, I also dislike leaving things out of my blog because of who might be reading--super annoying. If you'd like to have someone to bounce pity off, I'm always here!
