SUN! Get some sun and take Vit D - and see a doctor if it doesn't get any better!

The same thing happened to me although I don't recall ever being a "model" stay at home mom. The job wasn't for me. Although I love my kids and my home...it was a thankless job. I needed to feel like I was contributing to society in a positive way. I started crying all the time and sat around eating my heart's content until I went out in the world and found a job that I loved.

You have to get out and take care of yourself. Do fun things with friends, get your hair done and buy yourself a new outfit! I don't care what anyone says...moms come last and that won't change. We need to take a small part of our day just for us. Quiet meditation and prayer. Ask God what He wants you to do and discover His will for your life. And...take vitamin D!

I understand what yall are saying about sun but I dont think that is the problem as I do go outside and I have felt this way for a few months now...

All my friends are crap friends that I have left behind and I feel like I dont have much of anyone to talk to anymore.
My dad is too much of a hard.... and will just tell me to suck it up and quit the pitty party. I would have done that a long time ago if it were that simple!

Is there some activity that you can teach yourself. I find that whenever I learn something new that it tends to revitilize me. It can be something as simple as learning to knit washrags.

Sounds like depression.

Yup. You need to make an appointment. Have your vitamin D levels tested too.​

Sarah - seriously look for a SAHM support group. You will meet other women in the same boat.
