Suggest Treatment For Stress And Tiredness

I am 29 years old... I am a full time mother of 3. Daughter 8 Daughter 4 Son 8 months I m usually the only parent in house & has been like this since 1st was born due 2 father working away! I know it s natural as a mother to feel tired and stressed. But I can go from being happy to extremely down in matter of seconds. I don t like socialising much, yet being in the house all the time drives me crazy, but in saying that I d rather stay home. I get as much sleep as I can some nights are better then others. I stress a lot about everything & anything & seem to lash out (definately not physically) at my 2 daughters a lot even if they are not doing anything wrong. I cry a lot & always have the urge to yell as I find it really hard to control my temper. When kids father comes home majority of the time I m unhappy with him with everything & anything he does even though he trying to help me! I feel like I want to just be away from everyone especially the ones I m taking my moods out on as I know they don t like me for it! I feel exhausted all the time, it s hard for me to feel happy or to control any situation without getting really cranky or upset. I love my kids my family but each day feels like another battle & most nights I lay in bed awake upset dreading waking up in the morning to face the world all over again!

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

I read your problem in detail and can understand the situation that you seem to be going through. Your stressful conditions certainly seems to have an effect on you which are resulting in the symptoms that you are having currently. You seem to be suffering from depression. It is a condition characterized by low mood, irritability, tiredness, crying spells, sleep and appetite disturbances.

I would suggest that you seek a psychiatric consultation and complete evaluation and proper management. Medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like escitalopram and sertraline, etc are safe and effective. in addition, try to exercise on a daily basis. You can also start regular therapy sessions with your psychiatrist, where you will be able to express your emotions and let out whats building up inside you at ease.

Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
