[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I would refrain from saying [b]I feel depressed because I doubt I have an actual medical condition[/b], but I have been feeling pretty blah lately. I have been with the kids at home alone for 3 days now, 2 more to go. I am covering childcare while their school/daycare is off. I have a 4 year old and a 12 month old. I can't really go anywhere because my 4 year old is a super spirited child with a mind of her own, can't really control her so its a safety issue. On top of it all, the baby has mild illness running a fever so the whole situation is just not ideal. My 4 year old is very energetic, extremely curious and active ... you get it. I am trying to do my best but am exhausted. Running on little sleep because the baby is sleeping poorly due to the illness - i presume because she is otherwise a good sleeper. To make matters worse, my husband will be working later tomorrow, so he won't be back until 8ish ... probably even later. I feel so blah and just tired ... I am trying to love this moment with my kids but just feel like I want to curl up and sleep. Any advice for me? [/quote]

Feeling depressed is like feeling anxious. They are both completely normal human emotions that everyone feels sometimes. Different from having a mood or anxiety disorder but valid as feelings. [/quote]
