Wasn't even really sure where to post but I need to get this off my chest. I feel exhausted, stressed and overwhelmed.
My DS is 2. He barely eats or sleeps but does have energy to run round all d8. He doesn't really talk apart from odd words and it does sometimes sound like he's repeating words. We're still waiting for an appointment from speech and language and supposed to see paediatric doctor this month (not heard anything though).
My DD is autistic and is going through some changes at school which is always a worry for her and she has had a couple of meltdowns recently which hasn't happened for a couple of years until now.
Eldest DD has self harmed in the past and she seems okay at the moment but am very aware of making time for her as I feel her brother and sister take a lot of my time and attention.
On top of this I'm worried about my parents. Mum has had a few falls and hurt herself quite badly. Dad is looking after her and doing everything in the house really. I try to go over every week but it's difficult. I offer to help where I can but Dad doesn't like accepting help.
I work 35 hours a week, job is stressful but I do like it, apart from the added responsibility I've been given recently. But it's hard and full on. Absolutely no down time.
I feel like I never get a break. Either working or dealing with the kids oir my parents. I do have a DH but he works less hours does no nursery runs and won't look adter DS on his own.
I feel burnt out. I just need help and to hear from people who have been through something similar and how you coped.
