I'm not sure what's wrong not sure if I'm irritated sad stressed depressed or what but sometimes I'm so overjoyed and happy to have both of my children and my husband than other times I don't want any of them I just want to run away and not be bothered.. I would never kill anyone or myself but I really do feel like giving up.. like I need time for me or something but I'm never getting it.. my life is somewhat getting on track but it still seems like so long before I'll have it somewhat together. I don't know life sometimes seems too hard to deal with at times and I feel tired and drained Does anyone else feel like that

Welcome to the World of Family Life
We all live in the same way, sometimes we love the boots of kids and partner and then our mood takes a dive and we feel like we need to find a darkened room somewhere and not want anything to do with the whole lot of them
Some families, Mam and Dad need time for themselves, sometimes on Partner needs to go out with friends or InLaws like Sisters etc. Some say it keeps the relationships more relaxed to get away for a night out.
We have never really spent any time apart sice we got married forty years ago. Our interests are the same.
It may be you need time every now and then, different folks different strokes marriage can be the same.
Life is a challenge none of use can say any different. Sometimes getting out together could help yo both hit base and relax. Do you have any interests you both share

I’m sorry you are feeling that way and it must be difficult and confusing for you.
Those feelings are very normal and common when a person feels overwhelmed.
Being married and having children is a big responsibility.
I Remember when my kids were small and I had very little time for myself. Some days I couldn’t even take a shower or do anything for just me. I was always tired.
I know it seems like forever, but those days will be gone before you know it.
Parenting is a sacrifice, but those kids need you now more than ever. They rely on you for their every need, they love you and count on you to teach them values and morals.
Thats how I got strength when I was so exhausted. I kept thinking of how much my children needed me and loved when I was with them. I took the focus off myself.
What you do with them now will shape their future and they will thank you for your devotion.
My kids are grown and they are wonderful adults. I am so happy that I contributed to their success and all the tiredness, etc was so worth it!
Can your husband watch the kids while you go shopping or enjoy a show with your girlfriends? It’s good to take a break for yourself once in a while.
A little counseling can help you manage this and put it in perspective.
Sometimes I look at my kids pictures when they were little and I miss them so much at that age. Take in precious moments with your kids because once childhood is gone, it’s gone forever! ☹️
You will have your freedom and time for you, your kids will be off on their own and you will wonder where the time went, and won’t it be great when you’ve seen what a great job you’ve done !! ? 😁❤️🌸🌸🌸
Yea I actually have a hard time shopping.. my anxiety won't let me.. I start to get really nervous just getting in the car and I feel faint or shortness of breath but I agree with everything you said.. ❤️❤️ And im going to try to enjoy my moments as much as I can.. Thank you !!
Honestly I kind of don't know what we share anymore at the moment.. my anxiety won't let me out.. we communicate but sometimes I just don't want to be bothered almost feel like I'm bipolar or something.. I don't know what it is but sometimes I will get these overwhelming feelings and then I'll feel shortness of breath and i just want to go in a corner and cry but then when I'm about to cry my kids somewhat stress me out because I have a wild 4 year old and a active 1 year old.. so I can't get a peace of mind ever it feels like .. can't even cry in peace lol
