I am 45. Recently, I have been really struggling to get myself motivated and putting things off. I have a list of things to do at home now, for my work, and I need to go out food shopping and I am just procrastinating and doom scrolling. I can't get out of my head and the noise is constant in my head (don't know how else to explain). I notice my sleep is sometimes impacted between ovulation and my period, and I wake up early with everything going on in my head. I am my own worst enemy as I go to bed too late.
I struggle to deal with the behaviour of one of my children, and need to get on with an online parenting course that I have been referred to. I am just a mess!
I have been seeing a counsellor which has been helpful but after every session I overthink as well about the sessions, and question if I am just stuck the way I am. I use some of their tools/techniques to help destress but nothing stops the constant chatter in my head.
