Too feel you can't just do it all

[Raaraaaaa9]

I'm 41, I have a 2 year old and 6 year old. My partner works full time with 44min commute each way. I work at mangers level 30hours a week. I just find working, the kids and all the other life faff I have to do is just too much. I often think it's me and I'm just bit of a wimp. But I am starting to think that maybe it just isn't realistic to be stretched so thin all the time. I had terrible axiety last year and started meds that has helped but when we talk about coming off them I just think that nothing in my life has changed and the overwhelm will still be there. That's it really! Bit of a moan I suppose!

I hear you @Raaraaaaa9, I’m a similar age with a 5 year old and a 20 month old, I work 25 hrs a week but it’s still hard work! I’m also on antidepressants! Is there a reason you feel u want to come off them? If they help then keep going, there’s no shame in it ❤️x

No you are not being a wimp, not in the slightest. Being a mum is hard work and is undervalued (wrongly) by many. On top of a job as well it is really stressful especially if you don't have much support.
