Feeling lost and alone

[CrumbledandConfused]

Maybe it's the 25 thousand weeks of January but it feels different this year, hard and all encompassing.

From the outside people think I have it all together, I dont. I absolutely don't. Im a shell of a person and everything is just pretend. Im not the strong confident woman people think i am. Im so lost and confused, im scared to ask for help.

I have a ND husband and DC, a full time job and a big commute. It's exhausting. DH taps out when it all get too much. DC is a lot (early waking, not able to follow instructions, very strong willed and will fight hard). I'm constantly treading on eggshells. Trying to prevent the next melt down from either of them.

I'm exhausted, I can't do it anymore. I can't face another week like this.

I don't know what to say to help you but I can send you a hug 🤗 xx

I'm sorry, it's all too much for one person to cope with.
Please don't be scared to ask for help, you deserve and need it. 💐

I'm sorry to read your post @CrumbledandConfused.
January has been a drag and the wet hasn't helped if you've had it wet.
February now so that's a start.
Have you got a day off today? If so could you get out on your own for some fresh air or all go out for a walk?
Has DC been diagnosed with any ND ?
You sound to me like you are doing a great job. Is your commute a drive or the train?
Do you listen to audio books or anything which can give you some enrichment? It's a lot of time lost commuting.
Do you have chance to do anything for yourself?
I have heard of 3 people we know going to the doctors this last week and been given something for depression.
Could hormones be affecting how you feel?
Sorry if I sound a bit wet. And I don't mean to be saying you need to do things differently if DH needs to look at himself.x

Hi @CrumbledandConfused how are you doing this morning?

@Luddite26 plodding on. Survived the school run. Made it to work and slapped on the smile, because that's what I do.

Thanks for thinking of me again today.

Hope your day goes ok @CrumbledandConfused. And you get chance to relax this evening? Do you get chance to do anything for yourself?
