((((Mama)))) Depression and Anxiety are horrible. And mixed together...

With D, you could be in the middle of a stadium with 70,000 people all around you and not really see, hear, care about a thing. And still feel so lonely

And

With A, you would never in a million years THINK to be in a statium with 70,000. It would just be wayyy too much. Sensory overload

You are such an incredible, lovely person and you work so hard to provide for your children and care for your family (including your furry family members). And you care so much. You are there to do everything for everyone: all the time.

My friends that are married with children all tell me that although they love their spouses and their kids with their whole hearts, they WISH they could just get away sometimes. alone. no telephone, no tv, no interruptions. Just go to a very quiet hotel room overlooking the sea and relax. In peace and quiet. So, I don't think you are alone in that feeling, honey!

Is there a member of your women's church group that you feel you can go out for a coffee or perhaps go see a movie?

Are you able to get away for a little "me time" and not worry? Are your parents or siblings available to baby sit for you for a day or two so you can go away and just relax?

Perhaps you can share this with your T...and you can make a nice plan to have a couple days for yourself at the spa. Or just relaxing at a neighbor's house without worrying about anything.
