So does it frustrate you that people complain about the loss of their sex lives and sit around not working because you are working and keeping your house together and havent had interest in a lot of things? I guess I am a little confused if you are saying that you're frustrated with others or yourself? Are you on medication? In regards to you not having an interest in anything that made you happy before,I have seen that happen in a lot of individuals on SSRI's. I am not sure what is happening with you but the fact that you can keep a house together and running is a huge accomplishment that us mother's do not give ourselves enough credit for.
Before I got really bad, I was going to work full time,maybe 50 hours or so not including the hour drive time, raising a one year old and a four year old, and working on my Bachelors degree full time as with a 3.7 GPA. I even did this when I wasn't in a manic state. When I went on leave I wasnt as bad as I am now but went on a leave to actually have the time to get help. Now that I am not working, I have gotten a lot worst. You may just be held together by that home you keep together and the job that you work in.As for losing interest,a lot of single mothers, or at least the ones that I know, do not have an interest in dating/sex because they are too busy trying to be mom and dad. My point is try not to be so hard on yourself, you are keeping a job and a home and thats more than a lot of us. If you feel you may be worst than you are then make time for yourself to get help. Do not ever forget to make time for yourself because you need to be happy (as much as possible LOL!) in order to be the mom your children need. Keep up the good work hun!
