Stressed out on holiday

I've blown my top tonight but because I'm a people pleaser I'm now feeling so guilty. We've had a great day on holiday and spent time in our villa pool this afternoon but then this evening everything has gone wrong. My husband who is undiagnosed ND has gone bonkers over driving on the wrong side of the road. Huffing and puffing along with swearing just because he's missed a turning and that, combined with our 19 year old son who has ASD refusing to eat once at the restaurant due to friendship issues, has just finished me off.
I carry the emotional burden back home for the pair of them along with caring for my elderly parent, in addition to doing a nursing degree that tonight I've just had enough.
A large hgv was driving towards me as I was crossing the road and for a fleeting moment I romanticised the fact that being run over would have been better.

I hope you got a good night's sleep and are feeling better today. It sounds like it may be worth speaking to the GP when you get home to see about medication if you are feeling like this often. If you prefer something natural I take 5htp which is an amino acid from a seed that is a precursor to serotonin production. Some people have problems with it, I haven't though, so do your research if you decide to take it.

Hoping things get better on holiday and in life in general. xx
