Is this valid?
I’m not sure if any of you SAHMs feel the same way, but I personally miss working. I don’t want anyone else to look after my daughter, I’d rather it be me or my husband. But that’s the only reason I don’t work. At home I just feel like I’m never doing enough and my life is going nowhere. Slowly working on being better at keeping up with all the chores and spending more quality time with my daughter because she needs that. But everything feels like an endless cycle. There’s always dishes to be washed, flooring to be swept or mopped, toys to be picked up. And I’m near all of it 24/7 because we only have one car and no disposable income. It’s rather suffocating. I miss people. Real life people. That aren’t my husband and daughter, that I can just talk to and see. This first year pp has me feeling like I’ve been drowning because I don’t have any family or friends here and I’ve tried so hard to meet people but they’ve all fizzled out. Is there something wrong with me? I can’t help but ask that question every day. I struggle with MDD though so I have depressive episodes like this often and maybe that’s the only reason I feel this way. Idk.
