Goldenguru, your life sounds like mine the last year and a half my mother was alive. I worked 60-70 hours a week and made sure Mom was cared for. There was no way I could physically care for her and work. She and I picked an assisted living facility for her. I regretted having to do it, but it was the only way I could continue to work and for her to be cared for. That might not be a solution for you. I only tell the story to let you know I understand your situation.
Something I struggled to accept was that I could not do it all. I had to recognize that some things were not going to get done. The house was a disaster area. I din't cook very often. Healthy Choice stock probably rose from my purchasing their dinners. Can you take a hard, realistic look at the demands on your time and eliminate some of them?
I could tell you to take some "me" time, but for me that was a struggle. I found I had to grab a few minutes at a time when I could. That took me learning to rethink things. I learned to try and accept that if all I had the mental and physical energy for was to veg in front of the babble box for an hour, that what I needed to do instead of forcing myself to do something.
