To have nothing left to give after working full time and homeschooling during lockdown

I’m fucking exhausted and feel emotionally empty now after nearly 3 months of it all.

I have a demanding job & 2 kids - DP goes out to work as he’s a keyworker so it’s me holding everything up. I know I am lucky to still have a job etc but I do feel so totally exhausted.

My youngest DD who is 8 just wants to be with me all day every day & thus it’s hard getting to separate out my time for work. Older child is hitting puberty.

I feel like I am holding everything together but constantly feel like crying/ screaming. DP isn’t much use it turns out & hasn’t been emotionally supportive at all.

Aibu? I feel bad for saying I have had enough but I have really had enough!

Sorry to interrupt your thread, LittleBlackDress04, but we just wanted to post some links to organisations which may be able to give some support to anyone who's struggling with family/work/life issues during lockdown.

Mind.org has put together lots of information on Coronavirus and your mental health - please take a look.

The NHS also has a page on - Coronavirus - looking after your mental health with lots of useful tips and support.

@TadlowDogIncident - we're so sorry that you're struggling. We've sent you an email with some more support links so please check your in-box.

For anyone who needs support right now, please get in touch with Samaritans - you can click on the link, or email them at [email protected], or call them, any time, on 116 123.

Take care, everyone. Flowers
