Felt like crawling under the covers all week and not coming out. Had a mental breakdown yesterday and let loose on my family, couldn't stop crying, have had enough of things never changing, same problems year after year. feeling very teary today.Right on the edge. It was and is so intense and I am sick of feeling this way. Never have the energy or the motivation to do anything. Doing the grocery shopping is a major task. House is a mess, mind you none of it is my mess. Why can't they pick up after themselves? Why can't teenage son speak to me with a bit of respect? I bend over backwards to make his life happy. @ younger sons see how hubby and teenager act and think that they can be like that too and I don't want that for them. I am sick of being the peace keeper between hubby and teen. Husband only drinks on weekends but drinks by self until drunk. Never physically abusive but verbally and emotionally has been. He doesn't see it as a problem, he is entitled to realax on weekends. Has been a bone of contention between us for 10 years!! Has embaressed teen in front of mates when staying over. Am I being unreasonable in my wishes and ideals for how my family life should be? So am I depressed or hormonal?
Woke up this morning and I have my period. Emotional breakdowns used to happen before a period last time I was depressed but I had it under control for over 12 months. haven't been on medication for 18months. Had Implanon contraceptive implant inserted a few months ago and this is my first period with it. Why does my depression seem to be at it's worst at this time of month?
