Answer:
aww hun, i know how you feel, feel like that quite often.(though i don't have kids to add to the problem!) here's a poem that made me smile:

i wish i was a glow-worm
glow-worm's never glum
how can you be grumpy
when the sun shines out your bum!

LOL hope it helps you, it has helped someone in the past.

:)

p.s are you on meds? if not antidepressants may be a good idea if you feel like this a lot. i haven't tried any, but most people say they really help. Good luck.

Stay strong, stay safe.

Discover the joys of Lexapro. It changed my life! Ask your doctor, I used to feel just like you. It's no fun being morose and miserable all the time. You don't deserve to feel like that.

tis time to see the quack for happy pills!

you should try and speak to a doc%26#92;psyciatrist so that they can help you sort things out.
depression is no fun at all, and it sucks to go thru things alone.

I try to find things to keep me busy or things to do to focus my mind on to distract myself from feeling down
doesn't always work but hey.

Yes, its true, a lot of tiems we feel this way and ask ourselves the point of life... but, believe its worse when we are sick!
I should advice try not to let yourself go down... if you have kids try your best to play with them, kids have so much life, i am much after some minutes get better, giving your atention you will help them and yourself... maybe you feel tired but, beleive me you can do much better... good luck:)

Try some yoga, its very soothing. When you are active, your body releases endorphins, those make you happy. You have kids, go run around in the park with them. Make a day of it; bring a picnic basket, loads of sunscreen, and some toys (frisbee, baseball and gloves; whatever you guys like).

Beyond that, if you feel like this for longer than a two week period, I would suggest you see a professional about it.

Good luck!

i think you may need to see someone if your feel like this all of the time. If you dont think it's depression...maybe take action to make your self feel better. Excercise! It the best thing to sh*tty moods! Scientifically proven to enhance your mood and you can take a little aggression out in the process. Maybe take your kids for a walk. Enjoy their company and give your self some fresh air. Also, try some breating exercises while at work or at home ...this will calm you down and slow down your heart rate. Trust me...take the time to do things that will make you feel better. Why waste a precious day of your life miserable. Life is short believe it or not. And it can end at anytime. Pick yourself up and live life happy!! :-)

PLAY WITH YOUR KIDS:) IT SHOULD CHEER YOU UP-IT ALWAYS WORKS FOR ME. THEY HAVE THE MOST VIVID IMAGINATION AND AN AMAZING CURIOUS MIND. JUST AFTER FEW MINUTES YOU WILL FIND THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE-BEING YOUR KIDS.THEY SHOULD BE YOUR JOY. BE STRONG FOR THEM OTHERWISE THEY SENSE IT AND IT AFFECTS THEM TOO. OR JUST GO SHOPPING, WATCH A COMEDY, CALL A FRIEND, GO RUNNING OR EXERCISING THAT IS ALSO A GOOD WAY TO IMPROVE YOUR MOOD.

LOVE AND KISSES

It may not be totally the stress that's bringing you down. If you eat a lot of bad foods they can also make you feel drowsy and down a lot. Take a look at the way you eat and also you should look at this book called Sugar Shock, you'll be surprised at what you'll learn. Take a day off, have someone you trust babysit the kids and treat yourself. Hope you feel better hun.

The point of your life is for you to figure out what to do with it. maybe you need a doctor. And your kids need you. They are new in the world. They need a mother, and they need to know right from wrong. You must teach them that, so they can learn from experience. You should find some friends to hang out with. Go see a funny movie with your kids. They appreciate having been given life from their mother.

You are not alone.
What I do when I'm feeling low is go to the Jokes and Riddles section and lurk in Polls and Surveys. Worth the giggle, and having a giggle helps me so much. My therapist has noticed a big change in me since I've been here on Answers!

I hate when I feel like that. Like you just want to close the door and never open it again. Stay in bed with the shades as tight as they can go and pretend like you never existed. But you have kids and alot of other people who count on you. I know its hard so take today be a grump but 2marrow sit back and try to find 5 positive thing even if its just something your kids said or that the birds singing something little that you never noticed before. I know it will get better try to find it

yesterday was hard,today,its a bit worse,but tomorrow,you have the rest of your life,and,you have lovely kids,who need,and love you,and when you smile for them,and they smile back,you will feel warm inside,and it will give you some pride,knowing you have produced those little faces,and just remember,other folks lifes are the same as yours,they all have bad days,i definately do,sit and write a list of really bad things in your life,and then a list of the good things,and i bet the good out weighs the bad,and that will be what life is all about

Every one feels low once in while, feels bored up. We need to find alternatives to keep ourselves occupied. Go out, watch movies, browse, chat, eat out.
