Jen, I certainly understand how you're feeling. Years of hauling rocks up a hill in a backpack can take it's toll. But you're still here so you've got good coping skills. Give yourself a pat on the back. It ain't been easy but you did it! It's OK if you need to rant and rave for a while and let off some steam. But remember to do one other thing...rest. You're tired and you need to rest. What I mean by that is give yourself the space and time you need to get your second wind.
Make an extra effort to be kind to yourself. Pull out some favorite music you haven't listened to for awhile. Write in your journal. Take walks in the rain or in the woods. Set smaller goals, relax your standard for awhile. Treat yourself as you would treat a friend. Most of all just say NO! to autoplay negative thoughts while you're in this vulnerable state. And they WILL come. They love to kick ya when you're down. You'll get through this. Be kind.
