Anyone else?

Sometimes I get so depressed I daydream about living a life completely different from mine. A life where a travel all over the world, or any scenario where I have no responsibilities at all and no one relying on me. A life much more spontaneous and exciting. It makes me feel like a POS and a failure to my daughter. Does anyone else have these kind of thoughts?

I understand I use to life a totally different life love traveling and doing my own thing only was thinking about myself but now there a little tiny thing that depends on me and I get lost and what to do but any every step of the way I’m learning

Yes I feel sometimes the same aswell

Same. In my defense, things have not gone as planned since having kids. When they both were in school full time, I was supposed to go back to work. But I’m still a stay at home mom due to my older child’s behaviors at school. He doesn’t attend regular school anymore. And childcare isn’t an option. So until we can get him back into regular school full time I am stuck at home with him while his younger sister is starting kindergarten this year.

@Alesia yes you said it so well. We don’t belong to ourselves anymore. I’m a SAHM too so I struggle with my self worth and self esteem. It just gets lonely sometimes. Some days I’m on top of the world and love my life and then there’s days like today. Thanks for you comment it made me feel less alone. Maybe one day I’ll have hobbies again 🙃
