I'm currently pregnant for the third time with twins. This pregnancy has left me tired, moody, irrational and generally a disgusting person to be around. I'm not nice to my kids or my husband. My house is a mess constantly which I struggle with. I'm on paid leave because I've been so sick. Just over four years ago we didn't even think we could have babies. I've now been blessed with four. But each day is getting harder and harder. I do the bare minimums with my kids. I don't even know what I'm asking. Am I normal? Do I need help? Is it depression or anxiety (never suffered before).

It sounds pretty normal to me! Having twins is a huge toll on your body. The human body is just not built for twins. Which is why twins aren't that common. Plus looking after 2 other children. Even doing the bare minimum would be hard.
Right now your body is telling you, that you need rest. So that's what you need to do.
I always think you should talk to your doctor anyway and let them know how you are feeling. Sometimes a good chat and a cry can make a difference.
