Leah - I honestly don't know how you do it. To me, trying to take care of ALL that - full time job (60h/week? Seriously? That's like two jobs!), full time school (5 classes?!), a marriage, a house, and a kid with her own mental health issues? Wow. I honestly don't think I could handle all that.

I feel like I say this all the time... but I really do wish I had good advice to give on this, because when I read it, I so badly want to say something helpful! And, it's just so far out of my league (I'm single, with just the one job... no kids, no school, lots of hobbies - but they can't fire me or fail me!)

Is it possible at all to either scale back your hours at work, or to scale back the school stuff? I was under the impression that most people who work full-time only take one or two classes at a time if they attempt school while working? I know, it sucks to have to slow down... but if it saves you some sanity, and gives you some time to actually breathe (and sleep, and do other things to take care of yourself)... it might be worth the tradeoff? I don't know... something to think about?

I guess the other, maybe bigger thing is... are you making YOU a priority? When I read all that, I feel sort of like you are getting lost in all the things that need to be done - working hard for everyone else? Maybe that's not true (you did spend a couple hours talking to your therapist - yay!) but again, something to think about. If you could have more time to take care of yourself, make sure you're sleeping, nurture yourself and relax... maybe everything else would feel a little easier, because you wouldn't be so close to completely maxed out all the time?

Just some thoughts... and (((hugs))). I hope the rest of the week goes much better for you and your family!
