Struggling to cope

I think I've got work burnout. I am struggling to concentrate, can't focus, crying all the time, keep forgetting things. Just come through a very intense period at work and major issues in marriage, which are slowly improving. DH works away every week and I am very dependent on our nanny. Nanny has just developed frozen shoulder, has been off work for a week and signed off for another. She may well be off for a while. I am juggling work like crazy (I run my own business so if I don't work I don't get paid) getting childcare cover in where I can. DH works away and is helping where he can but no matter what he still gets to go away 2 nights a week. The stress is unbearable and I've been googling burnout and I have lots of the symptoms. I struggle with depression on and off and have been thinking about hurting myself again. I don't know what to do. I feel trapped. DH is trying to be practical which is helpful but a lot of this childcare crisis is falling on me to sort out. I feel like I am going to break and I am scared.

I'm sorry to vent. Has anyone had frozen shoulder here and how long were you off work for?

Ive never had frozen shoulder but I’ve known people with it and it isn’t a quick fix. I’d be looking for a new nanny

Okay, thanks Fabaunt. How long did the people you know who had it were off work for?
