Hi.
Just looking for advice please.

Lately I've been confused, stressed, and unable to think straight. My family has had a lot going on over the past 11 years and things don't seem to be getting better.

Husband is renovating the house and I'm ignoring it as im sick of it and he doesnt want my help or input.

Anyway. my daughter 7 is always asking me to do things and talks alot. I have a very busy office job. When i get home im exhausted. Then dinner and bed. No time for me time. Husband has more time for his phone than me. Its taking too long to do the house.

Its like my mind has gone. I cant organise anything. Its like there isnt enough time in the day. And cos i work i want to spend my weekends with my daughter not preparing meals for the week.

I dont know what to do. I get upset out of the blue regarly. Ive been to tge doctor and he's suggested counselling but ive done that 6 times. It doesnt solve any of my problems it just allows me to blow off steam. Ive no friends to go out with.

Help......

Hello abimoo: I believe this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral! I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time. I grew up in a house that was being perpetually renovated. So I know something with regard to what that's like. Unfortunately, I don't know as there is a lot I can suggest with regard to this. I suspect anything I would suggest would be something you've heard a dozen times. Hopefully other members, here on PC, will have some helpful suggestions.

One other forum, here on PC, that may be of interest to you would be the relationships & communication forum. Here's a link:

And then, since you mentioned you have a 7 year old daughter, the healthy parenting forum may also be of interest:

https://forums.psychcentral.com/healthy-parenting/

My best wishes to you...

I too grew up in a house that was under constant "renovation". Very slow process by the way. It hurt me a lot when it came to "having friends come over". Won't go into too many details, but I will just tell you that I can relate totally to that.
