Anyone ever feel like they're going crazy bc they do the same thing over and over every single day? I'm the mother of a two year old who couldn't be more delightful, but I'm going stir crazy. Diapers, crappy educational cartoons, four walls closing in on me while I kill myself doing chores all day. And that's not to mention the slew of other issues I have which I won't even get into bc it would just be too complicated and lengthy. Wasn't sure if I should post this here are on a parenting website, but due to my mental health problems, I suppose I feel more comfortable sharing here. Idk, tried to find something else to do with my free time, but what I wanted to do is unavailable, and I just need an outlet. Wondering if anyone can relate and how do you diffuse this feeling of infinite boredom? On a side note, I do suffer from some extreme agoraphobia, so it's difficult to get out and simply take a day trip or whatnot like anyone else would. Family helps out with getting my son out and about mostly, but I'm working on my issues so that I can be the one to do these things with him. Also, he's in no danger; I don't think I could love a human being more...but I'm starting to feel like a zombie. Halp!

I spent a good portion of my kids early years, reading numerous books and a member of a support group, along with a mommy board where I played some arcade styled games. Even without agoraphobia, going out can add up with money and there's really only so much at a park to do, with a two year old. I took oodles of photographs, and enjoyed tinkering with the camera.

Just know that you aren't alone with these feelings.

Maybe if you have a back garden, you can spend some time out there. At then your not out and about with people. Meditation could be something else that could help out. Yoga? Exercise? Reading?

I am a mother of three little girls. Youngest is 8 months. I have ocd, panic, and depression. I clean at least4 hrs a day, and work 4 9hr shifts a week. But my biggest calming comes from doing crafts with my kids. Try it �� it brings me closer to them and in some cases teaches them certain things. It puts my mind at ease sometimes. I totally understand how stir crazy moms get

Oh my god mama. I understand mommy forums tell you to go seek help but a few times they can relate. I come here 50/50. They are so helpful here. So many can relate.

The more you stay in, the harder it gets to go out. I've found some mom group support on meet-up. Not sure about your area. Just watching the kids play with other moms is what we do.

I am on meds as well, Effexor for depression/anxiety. I am doing so much better. I have worked full time while going to school FT. Let me tell you, raising a child... Is harder! Esp with schedule inconsistencies and lack of sleep!

Some moms have told me : daycare. That means getting work.., working to take regular breaks ... from child care... I get it mama I'm with you
