You are NOT being a baby, you are overwhelmed and rightfully
so.
My pdoc, tells me when we talk about things in my RL, that I have "too much on my plate", I'm sure many of us know that expression, right?
It is true though, and yes we are only human,we get stressed then tired (exhausted)and it really does get to be too much. Many expect too much out of us, and not realizing it, we continue to do more and more, then run out of gas from out emotional and physical "tank".
MP, can I run away with you too? I swear, I've said just what you said about just wanting to vacate. LOL!!
Not meaning to make a joke, but you and I know how we feel on all this overwhelming stuff.
In all seriousness, we do need a break,finding out how in a healthy way is sort of a mystery.
I am planning to speak up very soon, to mom,etc. for all this with her poor health and dementia is draining.
Many professionals say when a person finally comes to the point, where they feel they can do this sort of stuff any longer it then is very important outside help is gained.
Sorry for the ramblings, for I'm still trying to figure a way of getting some relief soon, I'm at my breaking point,even my health is declining . . . stress has been proven to trash our immune systems.
Take care,
Roe
