[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have two kids under 4, so I get what you're saying. But I also feel like of [i]course[/i] kids are hard work and of [i]course[/i] you can no longer lay around on the couch all day or have a quiet house (but you [i]know[/i] this). You have to adjust mentally for a few years when you're in the trenches and realize that the preschool years aren't forever (and neither are the teen years, or the college years, etc). It requires mental flexibility to shift your expectations and see the positives in your life RIGHT NOW, and things like depression and anxiety can make that hard, bordering on impossible.

Bottom line: you REALLY need to get help. Even on stressful and terrible days I don't feel like my life is mostly shit. That's depression, OP. And if you're not getting help, you are hurting yourself and your family. You ALL deserve to be happy. Why be miserable for the next 15 years if you can do something to make it right?

Please look into therapy and medication. Parenting [i]can[/i] really suck, but the way you feel is NOT normal...but it can get better. Hang in there -- this time next year, with help, you could be back to your 360 good days.[/quote]
