why me?
think the nasty witch is coming back (my pnd)
I have had the worst 2 days ever and i have done nothing but cry and mope about today.
Matthew has cried all day long. I ended up phoning my HV in tears cos i just didnt know what to do. (she is coming to see me on friday which is ages away!!) Luckily my OH was off work today and took off me for a bit but it didnt really help tbh.
I just dont know what to do with him anymore. He gets up and is happy until his breakfast at 8.30. then he cries until 11 and has a bottle then falls asleep for 20 mins. then cries until 2pm when he has his dinner, then has another 20min nap and cries until tea time, then until he goes in the bath!! If i dont have a hold of him he screams! I am seriously rwady to just walk away cos i really cant cope at the moment. I know that sounds awful but i'm with him 24/7 and i hardly get a break! i cant go to family cos they all work and so do my friends. so i am practically alone all sodding week!!
Also, we built joshuas big boy bed today and he wouldnt go to sleep in it so we ended up putting him back in his cot and when he fell asleep we put him in his bed!
Life is so SHIT right now and i really have had enough!!!

You may also find that you are trying to do too much. How old is Joshua, does he need to be in a big bed just yet, maybe put off putting him into that until you and Matthew are feeling a bit happier as lack of sleep from dealing with joshua will not help you and Matthew during the day.
How about when your husband is home, take some time out for yourself. This could be having a bath, surrounded by candles and relaxing music, or going for a walk to the local shop and buying yourself a magazine, which you then read in your bedroom or in the bath. You could also try to arrange a drink, at a friends house, or meet at a cafe/pub and spend some time without the children. Another suggestion could be to get a hobby, or maybe start a course that is light hearted and fun, such as jewellary making, painting, or pottery. This will give you chance to meet others and socialise without the children.
Sorry to go on a bit. Hope a bit of what I have said maybe of use. Of course speak to the HV or even a doctor as well. Hope you start to feel better soon.
