Help me find joy

I’m going through a relentlessly negative time with a child in autistic burn out, struggling through daily anxiety of wanting to but being mental unable to attend school, ARFRID and weight loss, ECHNA which requires me to fill in multiple forms focusing on the negative. I’m exhausted by it all. I can’t go away for a while, I have my child with me most of the time and she can’g go to sleep without me.

What can I do to find joy in my life?

I'm having a hard time too with family issues. I'm just trying to put it out of my mind and focus on work and hobbies. Its hard tho. Sometimes to distract myself I make online baskets for xmas stuff and keep altering the basket over a few days. . . I really am just trying to keep my mind of stuff I can't be bothered with it all. Are you looking forward to Xmas ?

I’m mostly looking forward to the school
days for the absence of anxiety for my child rather than Christmas it’self.

I’m not working at the moment. I was a sahm with a plan to return to working this year as my youngest is now in school. I can’t do this because my oldest is at home all the time.
