I guess I just have the blues....

This is how I feel at the moment....

...I want to pack a bag, go to a little isolated cottage somewhere by myself...no partner, no bub...just me....I don't want a TV or phone, I'll have some good books, my paints and brushes...maybe a few good CDs, a fridge full of nice healthy food, maybe a fishing rod and some bait...and just stay there for a month...by myself...hhhmmm did I said that already...all by myself.

I just feel like pressing pause on my life and taking a time out...truly I just feel its all too much...not in a "i'm going to explode way"...just a "leave me alone, I need to re-group"...

Does this makes sense? Anyone? Or have I just lost the plot and am being really selfish.

I have those thought quite a lot hun :hugs: :hugs:

So you arent alone although im sure someone is bound to say you are selfish for thinking this way but then thats because they have a "perfect" life :rolleyes:

I worked out a month or so back when speaking with my psych that i do need the time out & i do deserve it !!! Just because we are mums doesnt mean we arent human or the person we were before bubs !
I now leave Boof with DP & i go for a walk & boy does it make a difference. Not having the think about anyone but me even just for 20mins is just awesome !

Maybe we should take a holiday together hehehe somewhere tropical sounds good :yes:

Thanks Ally.

I do try to get out bymyself for walks etc....I know there is no way I can just go away for a month...just how I was feeling.

Yeah, was thinking of planning a holiday next year for me and DF.....maybe I might just do a holiday for me and he can have time off work to look after DS...I mean, he is always telling me how he'd love to be a SAHD because it would be so much fun:rolleyes:

I know how you feel BG.

I feel like that sometimes too. I look after Hugh pretty much all day everyday by myself. Angus is great when he's home but, especially lately, he's been away so much so the only person I really see for a few days at a time is my baby.
And my baby is totally dependant on me (fully BF) so I ain't going nowhere.

To help keep me sane when Hugh's asleep I jump on BH or get on the phone to a friend. It makes me feel that I am a person with a life!
