Posted by Anonymous on 2013/03/10 under Uncategorized Im 35 i look after our 3 kids at home all under 3 years of age while my wife goes out to work.
And im depressed. I didn’t even know i was depressed until i started getting very anxious, nervous and would suddenly burst into fits of verbal rage for no reason.
i will sometimes sit and stare out of the window for what feels like a couple of seconds only to get up check the clock and 1 hour has gone by. When im on my own i often cry for 5minits at a time for no reason. Strange i know!
im not the kind of person that’s sad.
Im normally the one in our house who is the optimist or the motivator now even though i sleep well, i just seem to have no energy left in me.
i chose to stay at home and raise my children and i love taking care of them, i just feel so isolated and that the rest of the world is passing my by.
i just cant seem to get my emotions under control, im either very happy or very sad, laughing or crying.
i had an argument with my wife last night that spilled over to this morning, i said some mean things to her and have no idea why i said them…
She dose understand what im going through a little as she stayed home with our first son for 1year.
I don’t think its a case of me feeling emasculated, i think its more of a case of feeling isolated and lost.
So anyway im writing this down on here to try and explain to myself what im feeling,
One thought on “man at home with 3”
