Hello, I am in a fog and can't sew clearly, so hoping someone else might. I have been dealing with a lot of stress lately and feeling overwhelmed with everyday life. We have small children and no family support, so we are burnt out with work and homelife. Two sudden bereavement of close friends have now pushed me to breaking point. I have taken a week off work as sick leave, but don't feel any better for it. We have a booked holiday coming up in a few days visiting close family abroad and I feel completely unable to prepare for it. All of it overwhelms me and I don't even know where to start. Partner just as burnt out, so between us we are getting nowhere. Deep down I would like to cancel the trip, but it would affect too many people. It would also make me feel extremely guilty as these are important family relationships (our parents) and who knows for how much longer we will have them. We only manage to see them once a year. I don't know what to do, I am contemplating not travelling with partner and children, but follow them a few days later. Not sure partner would cope with this though, as not in any a better place mentally right now, although generally a much more resilient person than I am. What would you do? Would you try to plough through and hope the trip brings some rest? (It usually doesn't, but tends to be a welcome change of scenary.)
