Is it normal?

DH and I have been married almost 5yrs. A lot has changed for me, so quickly. I am still so young. Got married young, finished school young, had a kid young, etc. I miss the old days where life was care free. Not so much expenses. Getting started in our first apartment. The excitement of that first child, etc. Is it normal of me to be so down and distraught every single day about missing those simple memories? Life has changed a lot. We just bought a house, I am now working (never really worked until I turned 21), Chris just turned 3, we're contemplating our second child, etc. I feel like life has changed before the blink of an eye. Please tell me I am not alone and others feel this way too.

Of course its normal. I feel the same way sometimes.

I wonder what if every now and then, but I don't get upset over it.

I feel the same way sometimes
My friend posted some old pics from high school yesterday and I was thinking how much fun I had and how different my life is now

Yep! Hell. I'm 29 and look at my friends who don't have kids yet and sometimes envy their petty problems.   at a young age, I can assume those feelings would come more often and worse, naturally.

not alone  
when we first moved here to colorado we were living in longmont in a 2 bedroom house with my sister, her DH and their roommate, 4 dogs, we had talon at that point and everything was extremely simple and easy and i always want to go back there for some reason even though we had no belongings but our clothes it was just so easy i guess  

I feel the same some days, but in the end i'd miss the life i've been living for going on 7 years now. Of course some days i just want to have fun and not have to worry about certain things but it doesn't bother me too much.

It's normal to feel like that sometimes, but if it's something that has you distraught every day, you should probably see a psychiatrist!

i feel like that sometimes, only because my SO goes out sometimes, and i never have a baby sitter and i literally NEVER have a break. But, it was my choice to have a baby so it's how my life is. And as soon as my LO smiles at me i dont even care about going out or anything like that anymore

Quoting S U Z I E:" It's normal to feel like that sometimes, but if it's something that has you distraught every day, you should probably see a psychiatrist!"

You are right. I guess I should talk to my doctor about these feelings.
