I hear ya. Maybe it’s the lack of sunshine.

Have a good sleep, seriously.. you’ll wake up refreshed and hopefully with a clear mind.. and just try to do something you like.. meet up with friends, watch your fave DVD..

Why do you think your feeling down?

what exactly is it that youre not feeling good about? something specific, or is it just a general feeling of downness?
ill bet youre pretty run down from those babies of yours….when was the last time you had a good sleep? or got out and took a long walk alone, or met up with friends?
sounds pretty corny, but these things really help me when im feeling down. sometimes we get so lost in the day to day we forget theres more to life.

maybe you could go see your doctor also, postnatal depression isnt something to laugh at. or if you wanna just vent or chat or whatever, my shoutbox is justa shout away:)

oooooooooooh i know that feeling. i get that all the time. i dont really know the answer to that to be honest. i went on antidepressants and that helped a lot, but if youre breastfeeding n stuff i guess thats not an option. are you getting enough sleep?

hrm. hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
well…one thing ould be that youre sleeping too much. i never knew but thats actually possible. makes you just as lethargic as too little sleep. are you still tired when you wake?
the other option is maybe youre just in a place where you need to be resting right now. like a phase where your mind and body are just stepping back a bit and taking some time?

ooooooooor, have you had any iron etc tests done recently? that can be a massive cause of fatigue as well.

Yeah, thought of that too. Might be good to just get a quick physical and blood test for the heck of it. Try to pick one thing a day to accomplish, push through and do it anyway, and another thing I would suggest, go for long walks and walk it out.

mm thats a good idea also, picking one thing to do and doing it. lily, it doesnt matter if youre not out saving the world every day. dont put too much pressure on yourself.
at the moment, getting out of bed every day and getting ressed, looking after the babies…thats a huge accomplishment. thats enough:)
focus on what you are doing girl, not what youre not doing

yeah, iron is a good idea. i had an iron deficiency from having the baby and breastfeeding, etc… just recently stopped taking them it’s been about 5 months. i’m thinking as well as that, you may just be at a very stagnant part of your life. and what you have rto realize is that, that is not necessaryily a bad thing. stagnant, for me anyway, i sometimes welcome in comparison with the dramatic times of my life. well, i do wish you all the hope in the world… hope that you find peace with your life wherever it lays.

good luck, take care of those babies!!

xxoxx

i think adults arent supposed ot have more than 10 hours of sleep per night

So I have a lot to do.

LOL dood, id say thats somewhat of an understatement there lily

yeah lol triplet triplet tri-pl-et ok were in 9/8 time now dudes

I know how you feel. About two years ago i felt the same way. I had a good life and there was nothing wrong, i just felt down sometimes. I didn’t feel motivated to do anything and sometimes i would be in the middle of something and i would just feel like crying, for no apperant reason at all.

I found that it stopped when i discovered something i really loved. Something new. I know you said you feel unmotivated, but perhaps if you discover something new you will feel better too. If you discover a passion for something, maybe painting or photography or swimming, anything at all really, maybe it will give you something new to focus on when you start to feel down.

I hope this has helped.. If not, best wishes.
