Cranky mum

Hi mums

My husband and I have been together for ten years and we have two kids together.

Past year I have felt like I've lost my connection with him and I'm unsure why as he is trying harder to meet my needs and wants as I cheated on him and we reconciled afterwards. Please don't base your answer that I don't deserve forgiveness as he felt like he needed to change in order to fix what was wrong as to why I cheated. I don't think it is his fault by all means so I'm not crying victim here I just want to know how I can get my connection back with him, as I have lost my sex drive, I am often cranky with him and we are always bickering and I don't even know why. I suffer depression and I'm not medicated. I also suffer aniexty, I am always angry and negative on the world and life. I absolutely hate it cause I am affecting my children's life when they see mummy go cranky.

I wish I could be a positive person and not stressed. It's controlling my life

Go get yourself some medication hun xx first step. Of course I think you should probably be seeking therapy for yourself and as a couple

Go get the medication and see a psychologist. You will start to feel so much happier. You'll even start to get your sex drive back. When ok depressed I feel very disconnected from those around me. You need to be doing everything you can to improve your mental health, if you are not mentally healthy you can't have good relationships

I think you know the answer. It's normal to get restless in a relationship I reckon, but you need to address the depression and anxiety before anything else can be repaired. Medication and psych. You won't look back.
