Hello hutson: Since this is your first post here on PC... to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! May the time you spend here be of benefit.

I don't know as I have any particular suggestions for you here. I'm an older person. And you may find members more your own age, & in similar circumstances, will be better able to suggest ways of handling what you are dealing with. I'd have to say that, if memory serves, it sounds like pretty-much "the norm" for parents of young children.

It's difficult to say whether or not Habit Change is the best forum for you to be posting in. It certainly makes sense. One of the considerations that comes up though is with regard to how many members spend time on the Habit Change forum. Some forums are much more active than others. I don't know how active Habit Change tends to be. However, from my perspective, what is probably of more significance than what forum would be best for you to post this concern in is how active you are in the forums in general. The more active you are, assuming you want to be, the more members will come to know you & the more replies you will receive when you post a new Thread, if that makes sense. And then there are also the chat rooms where you will be able to interact with other members in real time, should you wish to do so, once you've had 5 posts reviewed & approved.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & the chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time. Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!
