I feel like I just want to sleep and sleep and sleep and sleep..I've been putting off things that I need to take care of. I am so burnt out on being a mom, and I don't feel like being one anymore. I know that's a terrible thing to say, and I love my kids, but I am just so tired and burnt out.
I'm tired of the stress and anxiety, of always worrying about how I'm going to keep food on the table.
I often get the impression that my daughter thinks I'm imagining or exaggerating my mental illness. She says things like, "You just want to be mental" or "You're not that disabled." Earlier tonite we were watching a movie about Marilyn Monroe, and I mentioned that it seemed like Marilyn Monroe mite have some sort of mental illness, and my son joke, "Just like half the people I know." I joked back with him, and said , "Oh, yeah? Like who?" And my daughter, "Oh, Mom! You just want him to say you because you like that." That really hurts my feelings. I have no reason to fake this.
