Can someone please help me.....?

My life is out of control.

When i was on Prozac i could control it, but ive been off it for 3 months now and im not coping well at all.

My eating is out of control, i eat anything and everything, i am eating almost all my waking hours. I lost 4 stone 2 yrs ao, ive put back on 4 stone in the last year. I have health issues because of my weight. I have mild SVT which may have been caused by a 6mth drastic liquid diet. Im taking beta blockers which are helping.

I have been working a lot of hours, learning a new job, trying to keep our home going, with a lazy Husband and a problematic 12 yr old, wbo is lazy and rude and disrespectful towarRAB me. I have a puppy who wrecks the house.

There is no time in the day, the hours rush by, its dark when i rise, and seems like im pulling the curtains real quickly after i wake. The days are short. I cannot get on top of things. Nothing is ever finished. Jobs i set out to do are never done. I just feel like im rushing around all the time, and nothing ever looks tidy, my house doesnt look like i ever tidy or clean it, although i do and im exhausted from always cleaning. I have let stuff slip, like my car is filthy inside. I would normally take it to the car vacuuming, but i keep putting it off, so its a dustbin inside.

Sorry to rant, but whats wrong with me? life is too fast, i cant cope with it, but dont know where to start to slow it all down. I want some me time, but cant find a minute anywhere. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP:dizzy::dizzy:
 
Worrybucket - your life sounRAB like mine. Lately I've been a nervous wreck and I can't handle everything. I feel like I do everything around the house even though there are 3 other people in the house but I'm the one who cleans, cooks, does bills, does homework with the kiRAB, deals with a child with OCD, plus works a full-time job, etc. There is never time for ME. I've left important things go like car inspections, vet appointments, etc. because I can't handle it all. There just aren't enough hours in the day and I'm beyond stressed. My house, too, is a mess even though I clean up every single day. My husband jokingly said something about my dirty car yesterday and I was so offended because I just don't have time to keep mine perfect like his...gosh...now I'm ranting.

I completely understand how you feel and I absolutely believe that is the underlying reason for my anxiety....stress, stress, stress. I let everyone walk all over me and try to please everyone and in turn I'm an unstable, nervous Nelly.

I don't know what advice to give you but I wanted you to know you are not alone. I seem to go through this every now and then (maybe it is hormone related??) and then things will settle into place and be more calm.

I think the key is finding time for yourself, or rather MAKING time for yourself. Go to lunch or see a movie with a friend or just take an evening and lock your bedroom door and enjoy some quiet time for YOU...because you do deserve it!!!

Hang in there!!!;)
