Things seemed to have been on the up a little bit for me recently and it was a strange feeling. But the last couple of days I haven't felt miserable, just angry. Really, really angry. My 7yo told me she was ill this morning and I let her take the day off because she seemed quite hot and out of sorts. What a mug am I?

She started getting giddy about an hour ago and I told her to get her school uniform on and I would take her back. Suddenly illness returns. Now school is over she is just being completely unreasonable and will not listen. The rational part of my head tells me she's just a kid, this is what they do, push your buttons, test the limits etc. The other part of me is literally incensed with rage. When she wouldn't listen I didn't even shout I just did that awful whisper in the face and slammed the door to my bedroom.

I can't cope with this depression and being a single mum alone. Everyone tells me to take a break but when I ask if someone can babysit for an hour everyone suddenly is busy. I feel like a total ***** now even though the worst I've done is over reacted and threw her sweets away for being rude and not listening. I'm just sick of it all.
