Feeling flat

[Hay85]

I am a married mum of two and I am just feeling so flat. Really stuck in a rut and am not finding happiness in anything at the moment. 

On paper everything is perfect two great kids, a supportive husband a great life. But nothing is making me happy. I’m angry all the time, I’m not motivated to do anything. I just sit on my phone or watch tv. I don’t feel an attraction to my husband anymore which is putting a strain on our relationship even though he is understanding and wants to help me I can tell it’s affecting him. I want to be the best mum and wife and I just feel like I’m drowning. How do you get out of the rut?

I'm not a mum but a father who stays at home to look after my boys who home school, I feel exactly the same way my life has lost all meaning and I sit and watch TV or game all day. It's gotten to the point where I struggle to get out of bed, I use to gym every second day but struggle to leave the house now. I've lost the attraction to my wife also yet she is supportive and tries to help. On paper my life is good to, I have a home, two kids, everything I need and want but can't find happiness either. I know I haven't given you answers but just letting you know you're not alone and it sucks.

Hello

I'm so sorry that you both feeling flat. It's frustrating when everything is ok and we're still not happy.

Have you tried new hobbies, activities, interests that might put some joy back in? Or maybe something that you enjoyed in the past or wanted to try might help. Even just a bit of change in routine or a holiday could create some enjoyment.

I know that it's not easy and I hope that you find a way out of it. Please take care both of you and let us know how you're feeling whenever you feel like it
