Hello, I hope you don't mind me putting a few thoughts down here. It helps to talk about difficult emotions with people who understand. I just need someone to listen without judging. IRL I find most people can't really deal with me being straight and honest about my emotions. It upsets them to hear that I am not feeling well.
I'm a very busy mom of young children with a full time job. My husband has been sick for 2 years and just got better. My mom has been sick for 1 year and is only very slowly coming out of it. Usually I'm super woman, working, taking the kids to their activities, shopping, doing lots and lots, running around a lot, etc. But then sometimes I hit the wall with exhaustion. At the moment everything feels like too much. Just came off a busy summer with no rest and lots of organizing and work to get kids back to school. I am back to the swing of working FT plus the kids activities and daily trials and tribulations. I feel like I've hit the wall. Is it my illness? Or is it normal to feel so tired? My husband reminded me today that I have been wanting to take a break for a week or two since June. I just spent the last two days in bed, left work on Monday morning feeling unwell (mentally but I didn't tell my Manager that). I'm scared. I'm feeling neurotic. I put a call in to my pdoc and also a counsellor so I will talk to them soon. It just helps to be able to put this out there. Thanks for listening. I know things will get better. I may need a med change....

If you do not take care of yourself 1st., then will not be able to take care of others.

That would be a lot on anybody's plate, illness or no illness. I'm glad you are seeing your therapist and pdoc. It sounds like you are mentally and physically worn out. You need a break for your health's sake. Is there anybody who could give you a break for a few days? Take good care of yourself.

You have a LOT on your plate
 I would be amazed if you were not feeling tired and burned out. Glad you hear that you are talking to your T. You probably do need a vacation.
