I’m literally at breaking point.
Not coping.
Can’t eat, stressed, can’t sleep, sinking feeling in stomach.
Too much to deal with.
My dad is in hospital not really improving and I’m so so worried. I want to be there every day, but can’t with work and preschoolers.
Family members don’t drive and there’s no direct route so I’m spending 3 hours + a day driving. My kids are all out of routine and emotional and it’s having a knock on effect on them.
Siblings too far away to help.
Parents do childcare usually, so I’m struggling to even go to work and they’re getting pissy.
Then car breaking down, heating on its way out, phone broken.
Along with the usual mum admin of paying for classes, sorting out nativities, homework, washing, cleaning, shopping, school runs etc.
I just want to burst into tears.
I feel sick. Can’t eat. Had a mars bar all day.
I’m so worried.
How can I wind down?
