What is wrong with me?!
Question:
What is wrong with me?
When I first became a mom 8 years ago. I was completely focused on every move my son made. There were tons of pictures and videos, I had a good job, I was losing weight, I was managing my life pretty well. Well, my marriage started having problems a few years later and I kind of let myself go. I have had two more kids and I love them dearly but I have no passion like I used to. I feel like I dont care. I have gone through a divorce recently. I so badly want to be the person I was back then. Even better but I just feel like I can never get back. If I have given up, how do I get the desire to live a good life back because it's gone. I dont want to be an empty shell person, though.
Answers:
You are probably depressed see your doctor and have him make a referral to a good therapist and psychiatrist.
Also, despite your feelings force yourself to do things with your kids, go on a picnic, drive to the lake for a swim one day, take them to a movie, take them to visit other families and friends for a day or an evening. Also, make sure that you take some time for you.
One night a week go out and do some activity that you enjoy, drinking is not recommended however because it is a depressant and can make your mood worse.
