Hi sweetie, yeah, hard stuff........I also go through intense periods of wanting to dematerialise........pick one or two tasks a day on top of your job. You and your family are first priority. If all you can do is feed them everyday, thats all you do. Ask your husband if he can bath your kids and take them to school/ or day care if you have that available.

Your family will survive without you at the top of your game. If this dx is new to you, it is better for your mental health to get rid of the "no can do" guilts. You got a lot of healing and therapy ahead of you, save your energy for that.

My son is 14 now and I raised him mentally ill and single parent. You can do it. Believe me, speaking from experience, beating yourself up is only going to add to your angst. It does not change anything. Your husband and kids will be fine. Without you though, they will be devastated. Look after yourself first so you don't burn out.

Good luck babe........
