Anyone just get overwhelmed?

beastmel04

Maybe its just me, but every time I go downstairs to fix something to eat, the kitchen is a mess. My DH makes dinner each night, but leaves a massive mess. 

I walk into the kitchen, and I just want to cry. The thought of cleaning up after him is too much to bear. It makes me want to crawl into bed and never come out. In fact, that is what I have been doing for the last two months. I barely leave our bedroom.

After I panic, I feel this wave of guilt. I should be able to face a messy house without a breakdown. I should be able to juggle a fussy baby and household chores, right? Most women can.  

Sorry, not really asking for advice, I just needed to ramble. Thanks for listening.

I know exactly how you feel.  Being overwhelmed is my #1 symptom.  And yes, the kitchen is a mess many days, and yes, it is just too much for me to handle right now.  Currently, I am not able to manage the baby/housework/job situation on my own.  I have started getting treatment recently, so we shall see how it goes.  So just know that you are not alone!  Hopefully you have seen a doctor about this, or if not please do!  Good luck to you!

The kitchen is the exact thing that always stresses me out too. I love that I get to stay home and take care of DD, but I get irrationally upset everytime I see that the kitchen is dirty. It's super tiny, so it's instantly messy as soon as you even just make a sandwich, and FI works very long hours so he usually just eats and runs off to work, or eats and passes out.

I get upset with myself because I feel like especially since I'm home all day I should handle all of it. You definitely aren't alone!
