I wasn't sure whether to put this in the parenting or work section. I'm basically burned out and my body is screaming exhausted at me. I've done my back in and have no energy at all. I have been lone parenting a 3 year old and 7 year old for a year after a break down of a relationship. 18 months ago I took on a full time role that involves a lot of leadership and management in a competitive sector.
I think adrenaline has got me through the last 18 months but I've recently felt exhausted to the point I'm finding it hard to get my work done. I've googled burn out and have lots of the symptoms but have no other option than to keep going as I'm the sole financial provider for the children and am currently paying mortgage and all bills and living costs... I have very very limited help and contacts.
I've also had to recently implement a lot of changes at work which are unpopular at work, but necessary. This means I feel effectively alienated from a lot of people at work, who resent the changes.
I feel pretty alone with all this but mostly utterly exhausted and broken. I could really do with getting off the hamster wheel but I have no idea how I would survive financially.
