Feeling overwhelmed - how to cope alone?

I feel like I have a lot to deal with at the moment and have nobody to share the load with. I find myself looking at online quick fixes - buy this parenting paperwork organising bundle, buy this fitness class, buy that nutrition guide.... pay for someone to give me the answer....

What actually works though?

Between my kids health and school needs, my marriage, learning the language, trying to get projects finished at home ( just sorting through old clothes to get rid of!) I've had enough of it all. I dream of the days when my dc's were in full time school in England and all the extra curricular activities I could want and more... and the opportunity to go to college to retrain to go back to work.

I need a plan but don't have the time to pull one together Sad.

Hi lemonpledge, thanks for remembering me! I read posts like yours and it gives me hope that I can do it! I hope I can say things will be different in 2yrs but they don't seem to have changed in the last 2yrs so I'm feeling a bit hopeless at the moment.
My main concern is that I've been out of work since my eldest was born so I have no confidence that I will retrain or work here.

The head teacher told me the other day they are short on resources so have been quite slow in figuring out my son and reluctant to offer any extra support. I really want the best for my kids and don't want them to miss out on opportunities, but they are because I don't know about them Sad.
