So so tired!

[sunset900]

I have just stood and cried whilst cooking the tea cos I am so exhausted and I can't see how to make it better.

I have been working from home since COVID started in a hectic role and single mum to two DC. Recently the work pressure has got even worse and I just seem to have run out of steam. I have been here before and it ended with burn out, depression and ADs and I don't want to go there again.

I get EOW to myself and I try to make sure I do things for me but at the moment the options are limited and I'm lacking any enthusiasm for anything.

Not sure what I am looking forward here but just needed to get it out and the brain fog is making it hard to see the way out

Sorry to hear this OP. I feel the same a lot of the time and probably don't have as much to contend with as you.

Is it worth going to the GP now for some support before you reach the burnt out stage? ADs might help.

Can you afford some more childcare?

Also, can you use your free weekends to get things ready and take the pressure off for the coming week? Batch cooking, food shopping, washing, etc. I know that's not an ideal way to spend a weekend! But you can chat on the phone, listen to music/podcasts while you do it all.

Try to take things one day at a time. Perhaps you'll feel better in the morning.

Big hugs anyway xxx

Thank you, feeling a bit more positive today so will try and get a plan in place for this weekend and go from there x
