Most importantly, I hate myself for allowing this to happen to me. I have become a distant mother. All I want to do is sit in my room and cry. I get my kids up for school and pick them up. I make their dinner and wash their laundry. I am not there mentally or emotionally, though. I was shopping today and broke down in the store and had to hide out in a bathroom stall for about 20 minutes because I couldn't stop crying. When I finally pulled myself together, I placed the items I was going to purchase down and left. I am starting to feel my children would be better off without me in the long run. I have absolutely nothing encouraging or positive to offer anyone anymore. Ive become a worthless person.
You're allowed to cry shhnazzy. It sounds very sad and stressful and depressing. I'm not sure what to advise other than to take care of yourself and do what you need to do to feel better. You might find this video to be helpful:



These notes might help if you recognize them as describing what's happening in your head:
