I found when I had a full time job my mental health was probably at its best. I think it was because I was so busy! However it was only me that I had to worry about as I had no SO and have no kids. But still have to find time to go shopping for food and things like that !

Now I don't know! My SO copes really well with having a full time job, spending time with me, exercising, shopping, laundry, eating healthy etc. I also have friends who do the same. I admire them all so much.

I'm doing a masters and working over a full time week at the moment and I literallycan't cope. I'm finding it so hard to balance it with making sure I take breaks, hygiene stuff, making sure I eat healthy meals etc. If my mum wasn't here to help I don't even think I'd eat anything of substance as I'd beat myself up too much about taking the time to make it.

I dunno... i think it's finding a balance and some of us struggle more I suppose. I think it's easier if you like your work!
