Feeling like a failure

Is anyone else feeling like a total failure not so much around baby but everything else - I cannot seem to get out of bed until the afternoon or i want to do certain tasks but seems impossible to finish one in a good time frame / having the motivation, ignoring the big important tasks as it starts to give me anxiety for no reason should I be feeling so anxious it’s normal things people do/get ect without going into much detail ( financial ) is this baby blues ? Depression? I cry over the smallest things like writing this right now. I cannot get my shit together.

I can't diagnose but this sounds a lot like depression to me 😔❤️

It’s completely normal to feel depressed, unmotivated , anxious , especially within the 2 years after birth. Give yourself some grace , if you’ve had a baby recently or are still breastfeeding your hormones are still very out of whack. I used to feel like this occasionally before the baby was ever a thought. It doesn’t last forever. Maybe try starting with the smallest of tasks for a goal today and then slightly more tomorrow or next week .. don’t overwhelm yourself. If you feel like it’s all consuming you should definitely speak with your dr. As stupid as it sounds , getting outside for a walk and fresh air with a little vitamin d can have a profound effect on depression. It gets you out of the house , encourages you to put some regular clothes on (ie. not pjs or house outfit) You aren’t a failure. I think it’s safe to say that 99% of the population has felt this way at one point or another but we just don’t talk about it enough

Sounds like my everyday. I have felt like a failure for the last 2 years, maybe longer. I have zero motivation to do the smallest chores. I can't even find the motivation to do things I enjoy, or at least used to enjoy

I know what I should be doing, but can't do it. I hate that my mum and family see it as me being lazy. If she knew how much I beat myself up about in inside my own head she would see that it's like an actual problem. The state of the kitchen and the pile of laundry genuinely make me upset and repulse me. But I can't for the effing life of me do anything about it 😔. I have a 10 year old With cancer, a 7 month old and Im 6 months pregnant. I'm fucked to put it politely 😂 😂 🔫

Hun! You don't need to rush, just do one thing, one day at a time. See if creating a planner helps. I want go get my drivers license but I keep Procrastinating, especially when comes to reading the book, I would always fall asleep. I really wanted to finish by the time the baby is here. I started doing a chapter a day and 1 practice test and it helps.
