I’m sick of it!

[Sleepmode]

I’m so negative about myself. I criticise myself all the time! It started since I hit about 35.
am I alone? Because I’m actually so so sick of it. It’s a vicious circle, I then get angry at myself for doing it.
i feel like I’m m in such a rut, young children, balancing working, house, being a good parent, trying to please my parents who are aging, friends.
my boyfriend is great, we have been together 15 years and he’s a great dad, works hard, doesn’t put any pressure on me, but the amount I put on my self is to much!
AIBU to just take myself away for a weekend alone with a few books, burnout is so real!!!
sorry for the rant, and thanks if you got this far 😂

Best advice I can give is be kind to yourself. x

No you're not unreasonable. Get yourself away. You'll feel better if you look after yourself first x long weekend to yourself, books, spa, something lovely just for you to reset your mind
Do you have available childcare to actually get away.
I do this about once every 8/10 mo the when it all starts getting on top of me a s you'll come back feeling a new woman x

I do, I have a lot of support, which is why I don’t understand why I’m struggling a little bit at the moment.
I’m going to book a couple nights away, hopefully that resets me. Thanks ☺️

Burnout is real so take time for yourself where you can. But also you have complete control over the expectations you put on yourself and how you talk to yourself and how you talk to others about you, so work on stopping the negatives. It becomes a habit that wears you away, when you notice it stop yourself and think of how you’d speak about a friend in the same situation. I know that sounds trite but it does work.
